 Hands-Only CPR Instructions:

1. Call 911 or your local emergency number.
2. Place the heel of one hand on the center of the person's chest.
3. Place your other hand on top of the first, interlacing your fingers.
4. Keep your arms straight and shoulders directly above your hands.
5. Push hard and fast — at a rate of about 100-120 compressions per minute.
6. Continue until professional help arrives or the person shows signs of recovery.
