A Seoul city bus driver gave CPR to a man who collapsed at a bus stop late at night. His breathing returned after nearly four minutes, says KBS News.

Key Lessons

  • The driver checked for breathing, consciousness and a pulse, called the emergency number and started CPR at once.
  • The man's breathing returned after nearly four minutes of CPR, and he was taken to hospital.
  • The driver said the four hours of emergency training he gets every year made CPR feel like an automatic response.
  • General guidance: in India call 112 or 108, push hard and fast in the centre of the chest, and learn CPR through a recognised training course.
