Hands-Only CPR (British Heart Foundation, with Vinnie Jones)
The British Heart Foundation's landmark 2012 PSA starring footballer Vinnie Jones, which has been credited with saving documented lives in the UK. Two steps only: call emergency services, then push hard and fast in the centre of the chest to the beat of "Stayin' Alive". The most-shared CPR video of its launch year.

Key teaching points:
1. If a person collapses and is not breathing, call your emergency services immediately.
2. Place the heel of one hand in the centre of the chest, place the other hand on top, interlock fingers.
3. Push down hard and fast — about 5–6 cm deep, at 100–120 compressions per minute, the tempo of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees.
4. Do not stop until professional help arrives.
5. Hands-only CPR (no breaths) is the recommended technique for untrained bystanders.
