3 Knowing When to Perform Hands-Only CPR The American Heart Association in an Advisory Statement of March, 2008 recommends hands-only CPR in the following circumstances: If a bystander, not trained in standard CPR, sees an adult suddenly collapse then he or she should call 911 and provide chest compressions by pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest. Interruptions should be kept to a minimum until trained rescuers arrive.
