When people slump, it doesn't mean they are dead. It could be a cardiac problem or other issues that need medical attention and you could be the hero that could buy them vital mins before they get the medical care they need. This person could be a family member, friend or colleague.

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CPR combines rescue breathing and chest compressions. Rescue breathing provides oxygen to the person's lungs. Chest compressions keep oxygen-rich blood flowing until the heartbeat and breathing can be restored.

It is not advised to give breaths by putting your mouth directly on a stranger's mouth you don't know. If you are uncomfortable giving breaths, don't think too much about it, just get to the chest and start compressions.

Even if you aren't trained on CPR, doing something is better than doing nothing.

Be the HERO, not all heros wear capes, save a life and teach you kids, they might be saving yours.
