Important Hands-Only CPR Guidance
Best for Teens & Adults.
Hands-Only CPR is intended for bystanders who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse. Infants and children generally benefit from conventional CPR that includes rescue breaths. If a rescuer is unable or unwilling to give breaths to an infant or child in cardiac arrest, compression-only CPR is still reasonable rather than doing nothing.
