Mouth-to-mouth no longer recommended for bystanders trying to save lives
Chest compressions alone, or Hands-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), can save lives and can be used to help an adult who suddenly collapses, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement. Bystanders who witness the sudden collapse of an adult should activate the emergency medical services
(EMS) system and provide high-quality chest compressions by pushing hard and fast in the middle of the victim’s chest, with minimal interruptions, according to the new guidelines.
