What To Do If Someone Has A Heart Attack




New guidelines from the British Heart Foundation have simplified the instructions for what to do if someone's heart stops beating during a heart attack

Hands Only CPR
The main thing to do is to get their heart beating again. If you are a qualified first aider and are confident, then obviously do what you have been taught and what has worked for hundreds of years. But for all the rest of us, they advise, that we hum along to 'Staying Alive' by the Bee Gees and press down on the person's heart to that rhythm.

Administering CPR to someone who has had a heart attack more than doubles their chances of survival. Better still attend one of the training courses which are being run all over the country. You might help save someone's life!
