Why is checking the scene so important?

Before administering help in an emergency situation, it is important to check the scene to ensure the safety of the injured or ill person, bystanders, and yourself. Without checking the scene, one may overlook potential danger that can create more harm. Prior to calling for help, one must know if the scene is safe by asking these questions: What has happened? How many people have been involved in the accident? What is wrong? Are there any bystanders available to help? Is immediate danger involved? If one does not evaluate the scene by asking these questions, one can not administer the appropriate steps of action needed to care for the victim.

What is Hands-Only CPR and what would be some reason why a person would chose to use this method?

Hands-Only CPR is an effective life saving technique in which one performs continuous chest compressions without mouth to mouth contact on the unconscious victim. This technique is best recommended for use on teens or adults that have suddenly collapsed. The hands-only technique greatly increases the chances of survival in emergencies that take place outside of a medical setting. Someone who is not confident or afraid they can not remember the steps they have learned in their CPR training are more likely to use Hands-Only CPR when they see someone collapse suddenly. A person may not be comfortable with mouth-to-mouth breathing, and Hands-Only CPR allows them to skip this step and just press on the chest to save another person's life.
