VIDEO: Hands-Only CPR Made Easier
Even though we have written about hands-only CPR several times here on the dailySpark, we would like to share a fun video with you to help save lives. Ken Jeong, an actor/comedian/physician, teamed up with the American Heart Association to create this funny video using a popular disco tune to help continue promoting hands-only CPR. As you watch the video below, you will see that the video offers some simple tips on how to perform hands-only CPR, which will hopefully get people to be less afraid, but more willing to perform CPR when needed.
Do you think the tips from the video will help if you need to perform CPR?

Ps. You should be protected by the Good Samaritan law. I would be more worried about not doing anything. - 8/22/2011 8:41:01 PM
i would only use this on my family. I learned as a life guard and this skill is very useful. However, my instructor was sued by a mother whose child was bruised - no broken ribs no nothing just bruises which he probably got while falling off the diving board or being pushed by his buddies but the expenses were his !! be careful of whom you help - 7/14/2011 9:20:48 AM
...another one's gone, another one's gone, another one bits the dust, yeah!
Sometimes our ER has a sick kind of humor at 3am! Honestly, we save most of them. - 7/11/2011 9:23:41 PM
I wouldn't feel uncomfortable at all teaching this to my 14 year old granddaughter - most young teens aren't around someplace where they would need to know CPR, but this could save the life of a grandparent - even of a friend who had a hidden heart problem (unfortunately, we've seen too many young high school and college athletes make that sudden crash). We know that our young teens have almost universal access to a cell phone.
I don't have a problem with lightening strikes, but I've had to do full CPR three times in my life. Twice at a lake for potential drowning victims (blue, quit breathing and face-down in the water) and once at a Wal-Mart in the middle of the day. All three went to the hospital and all three left the hospital under their own power
Never stand behind me in the checkout line. I always pick the one that breaks down. - 7/10/2011 10:58:36 PM
And frankly, I doubt many people feel confident enough to put their mouth over the mouth of a stranger! These new guidelines are long-overdue; hopefully, they will "allow" people to step in and help when someone is in cardio arrest. - 7/10/2011 7:19:44 PM

P.S. The other tune was "Another One Bites the Dust", Just as funny and useful. - 7/8/2011 10:53:08 AM
