\u00a0Short and Simple<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the hallmarks of the Las Vegas Firefighters’ program is that is easy.\u00a0 The hands-only technique is not overly difficult for people to learn.\u00a0 Moreover, the instruction can be achieved in a mere matter of minutes.\u00a0 The program is also free which makes it easier to promote to community residents.\u00a0 Many people are happy and even grateful to have the opportunity to learn the life-saving techniques so quickly and at no cost.\u00a0 The firefighters are hoping to bring their training to increasing numbers of people.\u00a0 So far their efforts have been rewarded with those increased survival rates.<\/p>\n Hands-Only CPR<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes referred to as ‘compression-only’ CPR, this technique is gaining in popularity around the country but especially in urban areas.\u00a0 Hands-only can be a viable form of CPR, especially where emergency responses tend to be quick.\u00a0 In more remote places, compression and mouth-to-mouth CPR increases people’s chance for survival.\u00a0 The hands-only form of CPR can save a life and preserve good neurological (brain) function when properly conducted.\u00a0 The firefighters have also designed an app to accompany the training that users may refer to for information.\u00a0 According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the app “notifies those trained in the use of CPR and the operation of the Automatic External Defibrillator<\/a> when they are within 200 yards of a cardiac emergency that has been called into the fire department.”\u00a0 The app can also tell people where the nearest public AED is in reference to the incident site.
