How do you do hands-only CPR on an adult?
What RoadPulse Tells You About Hands-Only CPR
RoadPulse points you to the American Heart Association's (AHA) hands-only CPR guidance. This is a trusted resource that explains the steps for hands-only CPR. RoadPulse itself does not perform CPR, dispatch help, or replace hands-on CPR training.
Why This Matters
If someone collapses and is not breathing, calling 911 right away is the first step. RoadPulse cannot call 911 for you — you need to do that yourself before anything else.
What RoadPulse Does Not Do
- It does not give you the specific CPR steps itself — it directs you to the AHA guidance.
- It does not dispatch emergency responders.
- It is not a substitute for hands-on CPR training or certification.
Other Emergencies RoadPulse Can Point You To
Besides CPR guidance, RoadPulse also lists Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for poisoning situations, and Tesla roadside assistance through the Tesla app for Tesla drivers with car trouble. Each of these is a separate resource for a separate kind of emergency.
What We Don't Know
The material available does not include the actual step-by-step instructions for hands-only CPR, only that AHA guidance exists and explains those steps. It also does not say whether RoadPulse saves anything you type or search. This is not medical advice — confirm CPR steps directly with the AHA guidance and check with a licensed professional for training.
What to Do Next
Our free tool can read your own document or numbers and point you to the right resource — whether that's the AHA hands-only CPR guidance, Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222, or Tesla roadside assistance in the Tesla app. In any emergency, call 911 first.
