Hands-Only CPR Saves Lives in Emergencies

Staff Report / LAXlocal.org

The Los Angeles Fire Department recently highlighted the importance of using hands-only CPR in emergency situations. When a person's heart stops, immediate action can make a significant difference in their survival. The department encourages individuals to call 9-1-1 and begin CPR by pumping the person's heart until professional help arrives. The post emphasizes that the minutes between the incident and the arrival of firefighters or paramedics are critical for saving lives. For more information about hands-only CPR, people can visit heart.org/handsonlycpr. The message is supported by the American Heart Association.
