Elizabeth:I'm Elisabeth Rohm. You might recognize me from my day job, but my part time is working with the American Heart Association. Using the kiosk is really simple. To learn hands only CPR, you just go up to the kiosk, press the introduction. In five minutes, you're going to learn hands only CPR. It will teach where to place your hands, how to do the compressions, score you, play "Staying Alive" for you. You'll learn it to the beat and at the end, it will correct you.

I want to encourage people that hands only CPR is a really simple approach to CPR that everyone can do. You push hard and fast at the center of the chest to a simple and it's one we all know. It's the song "Staying Alive." It really works and it's a rhythm you can stick with and I've learned it myself from the American Heart Association. We already know it has saved lives, so it's something we all can learn. If you see someone in distress, you should not be intimidated. CPR can save lives and the hands only CPR is the way to do it.

To learn hands only CPR gives you the confidence and the knowledge how to respond immediately. If someone is in distress in front of you, that immediate response can save a life.

More than half the states are requiring CPR training for graduation and that's creating the next generation of life savers.

I'm proud to be working with the American Heart Association to encourage people to learn CPR. Our hands only CPR campaign, which is generously funded by Anthem Foundation, makes it easy for people of all ages to learn CPR. The hands only campaign has two easy steps. Call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of "Staying Alive." We've all been stuck in airports, many times due to weather delays or complications. These kiosks which teach us the lifesaving skill of CPR are a way for us to fill that time effectively and become life savers.

When a person experiences cardiac arrest, immediate bystander response can double or triple the chances of survival. Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death. Each year 359,000 people suffer out of hospital cardiac arrests.

You did amazing. You learned how to save a life. Do you know what it's called?

Boy:CPR?

Elizabeth:CPR. Do you want to give me a high five? You're a life saver. Congratulations.
