Question:

What is the first thing you should do before starting CPR on an unresponsive person?

Answer:

Check for responsiveness and call for emergency help (or have someone else call 911).
Before starting CPR, make sure the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, then activate emergency services to get professional help on the way.

Question:
What is the recommended rate of chest compressions per minute during CPR for an adult?

Answer:
100 to 120 compressions per minute.
(This is roughly the same tempo as the song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, which is often used as a rhythm guide during training!)

A surprising fact about CPR is that over 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home, yet only about 46% of individuals who experience one receive CPR from a bystander. This means that if someone collapses in front of you, it is likely a family member or friend, and you could be their only chance of survival. Learning CPR is crucial, as it doesn’t just help strangers; it could save someone you love. 😮
