Ideally CPR technique should be learnt at a training session, but it is possible to gain basic knowledge of hands-only CPR by watching videos. However, this has to be followed up by practicing CPR hands-on. Since a mannequin would not be available at home, practicing may be done by including a friend or family member.

Most of the time bystanders hesitate to come forward because they are worried about hurting the victim who has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

A bystander would have better confidence if he or she had at least watched a video and practiced hands-only CPR. Performing some CPR, even if clumsily, is better than doing nothing at all, since the outcome in the latter case is death.

Keeping in view the above, do watch the videos presented hereunder.
