Along with the rush of prayers and concern, the collapse of Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin during a football game earlier this week has also prompted a renewed interest in learning CPR.
"The interest in our hands-only CPR is up 200% in the past three days," says Karen Springs with the American Heart Association in Dallas,"because everyone is asking the question: What is CPR and how do we do it?"
"So, there is nothing more important to me than making sure that someone can act when there is an emergency. That sudden cardiac arrest is a very frightening thing to happen and moments matter," says Springs. "We are hoping that someone in every family learns CPR, because you know, the 350,000 cardiac arrests that happen every year: most of those happen outside of the hospital," says Springs. "So, the life you save is probably going to be your Mom, your grandpa, your cousin or something like that. It's going to be someone you know and love."
"Well, we definitely want to encourage high quality CPR at every opportunity," says Springs. "But bad CPR is better than no CPR."
