Teen uses CPR skills to save Milton woman | East Pierce Fire and Rescue
“Your actions and ability to recognize an emergency, instruct others to call 911 and perform quality CPR, allowed emergency responders to make the most out of a difficult situation."
“Your selfless actions in providing comfort and life-saving medical assistance to a critically-ill patient in cardiac arrest reflect the true meaning of being a Good Samaritan."
-East Pierce Fire Chief Jerry E. Thorson
Training citizens is a priority for the EPFD, who trains more than 2,000 people annually, including 1,500 eighth- and tenth-grade students and has resulted in a 50 percent bystander CPR rate for witnessed collapses.

Hands only CPR for everyone.
Drowning
victims need O2, children also depending on the cause of death. 60%
from trauma, 40% respiratory related. However these deaths (drowning
victims & Children ) account for a small % of sudden cardiac arrest.
The point of "hands only CPR" is for people to get involved when they
generally would not. So if we start telling people to do it except in
this situation and that situation it will cause confusion then people
may second guess themselves and decide not to do anything.
