❤️ PULSE OF THE DISTRICT - DAY 2: RESPOND ❤️
WORLD HEART DAY - September 29!
TUESDAY FOCUS: RESPOND - Learn Hands-Only CPR.
If a person collapses, is unresponsive, and isn't breathing normally: Call 911, send someone to retrieve an AED, and begin Hands-Only CPR.
How? Place your hands in the center of the chest and push hard and fast at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Continue until an AED or emergency help arrives.
What you learn today could one day help you save a friend, teammate, family member, or even a stranger.

A. 40-60 compressions per minute
B. 100-120 compressions per minute
