ABC11 Morning Team learns CPR
In a real emergency it takes 100 to 120 compressions a minute in a rhythm not stopping until help arrives.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Ever since Buffalo Bills player, Damar Hamlin, collapsed on the field during Monday Night Football there's been a lot of talk about hands only CPR.

So the ABC11 Morning Team took the time to learn this life-saving technique.

In a real emergency it takes 100 to 120 compressions a minute in a rhythm not stopping until help arrives.

"On average it will take roughly 8 to 9 minutes for EMS to arrive," said Liliana Marin who teaches the life-saving technique.
