想像一下：你正在享受一個寧靜的夜晚，突然之間，一個路人在你面前倒下了，他沒有反應，也沒有呼吸。在這個關鍵時刻，你會做什麼？

Do you know how to perform CPR and use AED? A lot of people are scared about doing CPR, so they freeze during an event. To help you builds confidence, I have compiled the top 5 fears of CPR and how you can overcome them.

你知道如何進行心肺復甦術和使用自動體外自動去顫器AED嗎？很多人在事件發生時會猶豫不決、呆立現場，因為害怕進行心肺復甦術。為了幫助大家建立信心，我整理出了會阻礙大家給予急救前5大恐懼，並告訴大家要如何克服它們！

Lack of confidence 缺乏自信？

Many fears of CPR exist simply because they’ve never actually done it before. This is a normal fear! But giving CPR is actually a very straightforward set of steps. You can learn to do it by taking CPR training course. When you complete the course, you’ll be confident you know everything you need to act when saving a life safely and competently.

大多數人對心肺復甦術存在恐懼感，是因為從未實際執行過，這是很正常的！實際上，心肺復甦術的步驟已經被簡化得非常簡單，參加CPR+AED急救訓課程，跟著老師系統化的教學和演練，一定可以學會！通過訓練後，當遇到緊急狀況發生，您將會對熟悉急救步驟的自己充滿自信，並給予病患最適切的急救流程。

Might hurt or kill someone 可能會傷害/殺死病患？

A lot of people are scared about this. In fact, YES, if you’re doing CPR correctly, you will probably break the victim’s rib. However, A person can survive a rib or sternum fracture. But they would not survive cardiac arrest without CPR. If CPR is needed, the person’s heart has already stopped, so you’re not killing them. You’re giving them a chance to survive. When you start CPR before paramedics arrives, you can keep blood and oxygen flowing to the brain. This reduces the risk and extent of brain damage.

這是許多人不敢給予急救的關鍵因素！事實上，沒有錯！即便你正確地施行心肺復甦術和壓胸，你還是可能會造成病患肋骨骨折，這很常見。病患能夠從肋骨骨折當中復原，但病患是沒辦法在心臟驟停的狀況下存活的，除非你給予心肺復甦術CPR。如果病患需要你做心肺復甦術CPR，就代表他的心臟早就已經停止跳動了，所以你不可能殺死病患，他當下是沒有生命跡象的，您是在給他存活的機會！在醫護人員到達之前開始實施心肺復甦術非常重要，可以使血液和氧氣持續流向大腦，降低病患腦部損傷的風險和程度，這將是這位病患未來預後是否良好的關鍵。

Being sued 怕被告？

Taiwan has laws in place to prevent people from suffering any legal consequences for trying to save someone’s life. Even if you were to be sued, a judge would probably dismiss it. Heroes should be rewarded, not punished. This is how Taiwan legal system treats rescuers.

我國緊急醫療救護法第14-2條第1項規定，救護人員以外之人，為免除他人生命之急迫危險，使用緊急救護設備或施予急救措施者，適用民法、刑法緊急避難免責之規定。即使你被告，法官也可能會駁回。救人的英雄應該受到獎勵，而不是懲罰。這就是台灣法律體系保護救人者的方式。

Contracting a disease 感染疾病？

The American Heart Association now recommends hands-only CPR—skipping rescue breathing—for untrained bystander rescuers who see a victim collapse in front of them, so the chance of catching a disease from rhands-only CPR is very unlikely. It’s not impossible, but chances are very low.

根據美國心臟協會的建議，未經專業訓練的一般民眾在實施心肺復甦術CPR時，只需給予心外按壓(壓胸,hands-only CPR)就好，不需給予人工呼吸。所以，現在的BLS民眾版CPR急救訓練課程早就已經宣導可以跳過人工呼吸步驟，只要學習正確的胸外按壓方式和使用AED即可。在這樣的急救流程下，感染到疾病的機會是非常的低的。雖然不是不可能，但機會非常低。

Only Doctors, Nurses, EMT can Do CPR 只有醫生、護士、緊急救護員可以急救？

For every one minute a person goes without CPR, their chance of surviving decreases by 10%. According to statistics, it takes an ambulance on average 6-7 minutes to arrive in Taiwan. Brain damage begins at four minutes of oxygen deprivation even if the person does survive. Waiting for a medical professional loses precious seconds.This is why everyone should learn CPR.

Security guards, teachers, grocery clerks, receptionists, bank tellers, police officers, parents — almost anyone from early teens through adulthood can initiate CPR.

等待，病患每一分鐘存活率就下降10%。據統計，在台灣，救護車平均抵達為6-7分鐘。當心跳停止，腦細胞只要缺氧約4、5分鐘就會開始壞死。即使急救後恢復心跳、血壓，但若腦部缺氧時間過長，腦部還是會永久受損，將導致各種程度的失能。等待救護車什麼都不做，逝去的是寶貴的時間，意味著生命的流逝，這就是為什麼每個人都應該學會CPR。

警衛保全、老師、雜貨店店員、櫃檯、銀行出納員、警察、父母——從青少年到成年人，幾乎任何人都可以在緊急狀況發生時，幫病患進行心肺復甦術CPR。救人一命，不需要當醫生，你我都可以！
