🔹恐懼一：Lack of Confidence｜缺乏自信

Most people fear CPR simply because they've never done it before. That’s completely normal. The good news is: CPR is actually simple and learnable. Once you complete a CPR + AED course, you'll gain the confidence and skills to respond calmly and effectively in emergencies.

大多數人對 CPR 感到害怕，是因為從沒實際做過，這很正常！好消息是：CPR 的步驟簡單明確，而且人人都能學會。只要參加完整的 CPR+AED 課程，你就能建立信心，成為關鍵時刻挺身而出的那個人

🔹恐懼二：Might hurt or kill someone｜怕壓壞/壓死人？

Yes, it’s possible to break a rib during proper CPR. But a person can recover from broken ribs. They cannot survive cardiac arrest without CPR. By starting CPR before paramedics arrive, you’re giving that person the best chance to survive and avoid brain damage.

對，施行正確 CPR 時可能會造成肋骨骨折，但病人可以從骨折中恢復。而如果不進行 CPR，病人幾乎無法從心跳停止中倖存。在救護人員到場前你所做的每一下壓胸，都是病患活下來的重要希望。

🔹恐懼三：Being sued｜怕被告？

Taiwanese law protects good Samaritans who offer emergency aid. You will not be held legally responsible for trying to save a life. The law supports heroes—not punishes them.

台灣法律明確保障願意救人的民眾。依據《緊急醫療救護法》第14-2條，你依法無需擔心民刑事責任。英雄會被表揚，不會被處罰！

🔹恐懼四：Contracting a Disease｜怕感染疾病？

The American Heart Association now recommends hands-only CPR for untrained bystanders.You skip rescue breaths and only give chest compressions—so the risk of disease transmission is extremely low.

根據美國心臟學會建議，未受過專業訓練的民眾施行「純壓胸CPR」即可，不需要人工呼吸。這大大降低了感染風險。風險極低，幾乎不可能發生。

🔹恐懼五：Only professionals can do CPR｜只有專業醫護能救人？

Every minute without CPR reduces the chance of survival by 10%. Ambulances take 6–7 minutes on average in Taiwan. Brain damage begins at 4 minutes. There is no law saying only doctors, nurses, or EMTs can give CPR. Anyone—security guards, teachers, parents, office workers—can legally give life-saving aid in an emergency. If you're willing to help, you are allowed to help. The law supports you. The community needs you.

病人每失去1分鐘未接受CPR，存活率就下降10%。台灣平均救護車到場時間為6–7分鐘，而大腦在4分鐘就會開始缺氧損傷。學會 CPR，讓你在緊急時刻搶回黃金4分鐘。台灣沒有任何法規規定「只有專業醫護」才能施行心肺復甦術。只要你是出於善意幫助陷入緊急危機的人，你就合法可以急救！無論你是保全人員、老師、便利商店員工、上班族、父母，只要你願意，你就有能力也有權利救人一命。法律會保護你，社會也需要你。
