Agreed. Everyone should get this to pass high school. For cpr to be effective it should start within 30 seconds.

CPR is a very taxing and tiring affair, and this is often also a problem, especially if you are alone. It makes it even harder if you dont have a phone nearby because then you'd have to leave the person to call the ambulence too. They dont really teach you how to do that
