Have you ever heard about hands-only CPR? Ever wondered what it is? Or how effective it is? Well, you’re in luck! Because today is the day I am going to explain hands-only CPR. Hands-only CPR, which is also known as compression-only CPR, is probably better termed, “compression-only resuscitation” because it does not involve rescue breaths. (CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, which includes two rescue breaths for every 100 compressions per minute.)
