Save a life with hands-only CPR

Hands-Only CPR carried out by a bystander has been shown to be as effective as CPR with breaths in the first few minutes during an out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest for an adult victim, and learning hands-only CPR increases the chances of a bystander taking action in a cardiac emergency. In this episode, Steve is joined by Stella Fogleman, Director of the Emergency Preparedness Response Division in the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, to discuss this easy-to-learn and potentially life-saving technique.
