The basics of hands-only CPR
If an adult collapses and is not breathing normally, call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives. Hands-on training helps you find the right depth and rhythm.

Safety tips
Good to know before an emergency
Why AEDs matter
An AED can analyze the heart and deliver a shock when needed. They are designed for everyday people to use — and practicing with an AED trainer removes the hesitation in a real emergency.
Infants and children are different
CPR and choking relief techniques differ for infants and children. If you care for little ones, a pediatric-focused class is well worth the time.
Preparedness beats panic
Most people freeze because they have never practiced. Repetition in a calm setting is what turns knowledge into confident action.
These tips are general information, not a substitute for certified, hands-on training. In any emergency, call 911 first.
