Hands-only CPR greatly increases survival odds


"Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States. Every day, it claims 900 American lives. Only about 6 percent of victims whose hearts stop outside of a hospital survive."
- The San Francisco Gate.

I currently do not know how to administer C.P.R. I've never had it as a job function, but I am going to be contacting my local Red Cross and taking a class for free (maybe a small fee), but it's well worth it.
