How to save a life without knowing CPR
a day ago
- Few people know or perform CPR in emergencies, despite its life-saving potential.
- Elevating a person's legs to waist height increases blood return to the heart and lungs.
- This simple action is equivalent to transfusing 40% of the average adult's total circulating blood volume.
- Leg elevation makes CPR more effective and cannot cause harm, making it a safe first step.
