You don't gotta knock on wood, because it ain’t hard to see that Hands-Only CPR can be the key to saving a life! If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives to the beat of @taylorswift13’s new hit “Wood.”

🎸 34 years ago today, @Nirvana's Nevermind changed music forever. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” isn’t just iconic — its beat is perfect for Hands-Only CPR (100–120 bpm). Call 911. Push hard + fast to the rhythm. Save a life. 🫀 #NationofLifesavers #Nirvana #Nevermind
