Hands Only CPR Begins The 80’s Back And Can Save A Life

General Purpose: To inform

Specific Purpose: After my speech my audience will be more informed about hands only CPR.

Thesis Statement: Compared to traditions CPR studies have shown that hands only CPR can help save the life of a person in cardiac arrest by keeping the perfusion to the brain.

Introduction

Attention Greeter: We all here have a love one at home or friends just imagine one your sitting at a restaurant and your love one suddenly starts to choke and falls to floor. Motionless your love one is laying there not breathing with no one around to help as you panic you dial 911. It takes the emergency response 20 minutes to arrive. Meanwhile your love is dying what could help, hands only CPR.

Preview: I would like to start by giving the statistics of CPR and sudden cardiac arrest and how the survivor rate of CPR increase with hands only of CPR, also how to perform hands only CPR with tunes of the 80’s.
