How to Perform CPR on Adults & Infants | In Case of Emergency | Mass General Brigham

When do you perform CPR? Wendy Macias Konstantopoulos, MD, Emergency Medicine Physician at Mass General Brigham, explains when and how to perform CPR on both adults and infants. For someone who’s non-responsive, not breathing, or in cardiac arrest, CPR helps keep the blood moving in the body. People not formally trained in first aid can perform hands-only CPR, buying time until medical personnel can help.

Anyone can experience a heart attack, even your friends or loved ones. Getting certified in CPR can save their lives. Get certified in CPR. You never know when you may need it.
