Do the Red Cross and AHA agree on the recommendations for Compression-Only CPR?
A. Yes. Both Red Cross and AHA hope that Compression-Only CPR will save lives by encouraging bystanders who witness the sudden collapse of an adult to get involved and have someone call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number and then start giving continuous chest compressions until help arrives or the adult shows obvious signs of life (normal breathing or movement).
