   Hands-Only (Compression Only) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Call to Action for Bystander Response to Adults Who Experience Out of Hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest
   
   
   When you see an adult suddenly collapse, use Hands-Only CPR: that's CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. And it can help save lives.
   Hands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by bystanders who see an adult suddenly collapse in the "out-of-hospital" setting. It consists of two steps:
   Call 911 (or send someone to do that).
   Begin providing high-quality chest compressions by pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest with minimal interruptions
   The American Heart Association recommends conventional CPR (that is, CPR with a combination of breaths and compressions) for all infants and children, for adult victims who are found already unconscious and not breathing normally, and for any victims of drowning or collapse due to breathing problems.
