Questions
Can CPR hurt the person?
A rib may crack, but without CPR a person in cardiac arrest will die. Doing CPR gives the best chance.
Do I have to give mouth-to-mouth?
If you are untrained or unwilling, hands-only CPR (just chest compressions) is still very helpful for an adult.
Will I be in legal trouble for helping?
Indian law and Supreme Court guidelines protect Good Samaritans who help in good faith in an emergency.
Do we practise on a dummy?
Yes, on a CPR manikin wherever the centre has one; the trainer checks your rate and depth.
