To avoid the chance that the victim will not receive any care, compression-only CPR can be considered in these circumstances: Rescuer is unwilling or unable to perform mouth-to-mouth  rescue breathing. Untrained bystander is following dispatcher-assisted  CPR instructions.   HOW TO PERFORM HANDS-ONLY: Bystanders who witness a sudden cardiac arrest and try CPR can skip the mouth-to-mouth breathing. The American Heart Association says doing chest compressions alone is just as good. WHO'S IT FOR? Any adult who collapses, stops breathing and is unresponsive. Children and drowning victims still need  mouth-to-mouth breaths. WHAT TO DO: First, call 911 or have someone else call. Then press hard and fast, about 100 times a minute, on middle of the chest.
