CPR is a very well known routine that is usually performed on the person who is having a stroke but a recent study has shown that if you are not trained of the CPR and if you see someone having a stroke in front of you then you can simply practice the chest compression on that person as it will ensure as effective blood flow as CPR. It has been found by the studies that when the bystanders were instructed to use the standard CPR that includes mouth to mouth breathing and chest compression only CPR then the survival rates were almost similar between these two techniques.
While talking about the studies, the lead author of one of the studies, Dr. Thomas Rea, medical director of the Emergency Medical Services Division of Public Health for Seattle and King County in Washington said that “Bystander CPR can double your chances of survival, but the biggest thing is getting more people to try it. Only one in three people who need it get bystander CPR”.
Rea was of the belief that rescue breathing can be difficult for those who have not previously practiced that or who isn’t trained in this technique so the chest compression can prove to be a good substitute of that at the time of emergency.
Thus if you are not trained of the CPR and you have faced such emergency situation in which someone is having a stroke then you can simply use the chest compression on that person and positive results will be obtained.
