One in every four people say they have been in a situation where someone needed CPR.
The survey(1) of more than 1,000 adults found that Americans say they are most comfortable giving CPR to family members, friends and coworkers, with less than half likely to perform CPR on a stranger. The survey showed that physical appearance was a significant factor when people are deciding to perform CPR on a stranger, and men with a disheveled or sloppy appearance were the least likely to receive assistance, with only half of respondents saying they would very likely try to give them CPR.
