00:00 This year we're launching my biggest life-saving mission to date.
00:03 It's the most important skill you need to learn today
00:06 because it could be a matter of life and death tomorrow.
00:08 There's a new way, a brand new way, of doing CPR with just two simple steps.
00:13 Think about it. Two steps that can save the life of someone you love.
00:16 It's easier than you think and you have that power.
00:19 And I've been going around the country to show you how to do this new kind of CPR.
00:22 Some of your favorite stars have decided to join the mission.
00:26 I'm in Hollywood, crashing the sets of some of your favorite shows
00:30 on a vital mission close to my heart.
00:32 The category is Saving Lives.
00:35 Check it out. Let's see, let's see.
00:36 Do your Vanna White.
00:38 Is it?
00:38 Oh, look at her.
00:40 That's right. Hands-only CPR.
00:42 It's simple and easy.
00:44 We've trained close to 20,000 people around the country.
00:47 And now I'm enlisting some of the biggest stars to lend a hand.
00:51 And I've got great news.
00:53 You don't have to breathe in their mouth anymore.
00:54 Oh, you do? Really?
00:55 The reason it's called hands-only CPR,
00:57 we don't want any more breathing anymore.
00:59 There is no more breathing.
01:01 Now you're talking.
01:02 There's two steps. We call it the Texas Two-Step.
01:05 First action is...
01:07 The dummy's down. He's out.
01:09 Yo, call 911.
01:10 Ask the expert.
01:11 Call 911.
01:13 You go get 911.
01:15 While they're doing that, you do step number two,
01:17 which is the chest compressions.
01:18 You get your hands over the chest bone,
01:21 midway between the nipples.
01:22 Nipples.
01:23 Get used to saying it.
01:24 And you start to push down.
01:25 Then how fast do you go? Do you remember?
01:27 If you sing "Row, row, row your boat,"
01:29 you got the rhythm going.
01:30 That's like...
01:31 ♪ Row, row, row your boat ♪
01:33 ♪ Gently down the stream ♪
01:35 ♪ Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily ♪
01:37 ♪ Life is but a dream ♪
01:38 Boom! You just saved a life.
01:40 I can't tell you how many lives I've seen saved
01:42 because people know how to do chest compressions.
01:43 And the life you save will be someone you know most likely.
01:46 One in 10 gets saved now.
01:47 We can double or triple that
01:48 if we learn hands-only CPR.
01:50 And I know just from watching this show,
01:52 you're going to save lives today.
01:54 And you just keep saying, "Row, row, row your boat."
01:55 Got it.
01:56 Those are hands that will save lives.
01:58 [ Cheers and applause ]
02:02 Let me show you why learning this is so important.
02:04 Cardiac arrest, it could happen to anyone,
02:06 anytime, anywhere,
02:08 including on a first date.
02:11 Take a look at this video of Max.
02:13 Max was on his first date.
02:14 He's walking back on the beach,
02:16 and he suddenly watches. Right there.
02:18 Boom. He collapses.
02:19 He's not playing around.
02:20 Within seconds, his date, Andy,
02:23 saved his life by doing CPR.
02:26 Folks came and go, but Andy kept moving.
02:28 This video has gone viral, by the way.
02:30 If you notice, they're doing chest compressions,
02:32 doing all kinds of things, whatever it takes.
02:34 And they kept going.
02:35 Even if they had to take turns,
02:36 they would have kept going until they finally got help.
02:39 And this video is popular
02:40 because it shows you how it can strike anywhere.
02:42 There they are finally getting help.
02:43 Now, this lucky man and his fast-thinking women
02:46 are both here.
02:47 They're now a couple.
02:48 Please welcome Andy and Max.
02:50 (audience applauding)
02:54 I've heard of the stories.
02:56 I've never actually seen it happen.
02:58 But that was the smallest part of the miracle.
03:00 So Andy, this is your first date.
03:02 Yeah.
03:03 So you didn't actually know Max well.
03:04 He could have been fooling around.
03:05 When did you realize this was really serious?
03:08 Right, right.
03:09 So we were coming out of the beach
03:10 after stand-up paddle surfing,
03:12 and he fell in front of me.
03:15 And I thought, maybe he tripped.
03:17 And I don't think he's playing.
03:19 So I immediately turned him over
03:22 and realized that he wasn't responsive
03:23 and had someone call 911.
03:26 And Max, do you remember anything at all, what happened?
03:29 Before that, actually, I'd fallen off my board
03:31 about 100 yards off the beach, right off the pier.
03:33 And I felt a burning right in the top of my chest.
03:36 And I thought water must have fallen down the wrong pipe.
03:39 And then I did have a very little voice
03:41 in the back of my head saying,
03:42 "Isn't this the sign of a heart attack?"
03:44 But I didn't wanna say anything
03:45 'cause it was my first date.
03:46 And I didn't wanna say,
03:47 "Hey, I'm having a heart attack on my first date."
03:48 (audience laughing)
03:49 And then we just kept going.
03:52 And when I got to the beach, I'd forgotten all about it.
03:54 And then I was walking up to the beach
03:56 and I just felt really tired.
03:57 And I was carrying her board and I thought,
03:59 "Well, come on, don't be a wimp.
04:00 "I gotta make it to the car."
04:01 And I'm like, "I gotta put the board down.
04:03 "Like, keep going, keep going."
04:04 And then what's crazy is when I finally said,
04:06 "I just gotta put the board down."
04:08 And lo and behold,
04:08 it was right in the center frame of that video, crazy.
04:11 So it turns out, Annie, you're a doctor.
04:13 Yes, I am.
04:14 I mean, what was going through your mind this whole time?
04:16 Well, really what was going through my mind,
04:19 I mean, in the back of my mind, I kept thinking,
04:21 "I have no idea why this is happening."
04:23 As a physician, there were a few things
04:25 going through my mind.
04:26 But really, I was thinking, "We just have to do CPR.
04:30 "We have to do chest compressions."
04:32 And that's all that matters right now.
04:34 And not much else was really going through my mind.
04:36 Because CPR buys you time.
04:38 Absolutely, absolutely.
04:39 Are you feeling okay now, Madge?
04:40 Oh, I feel fantastic.
04:41 I'm running, I'm standing, paddling, surfing.
04:43 (audience applauding)
04:44 Going from being dead to running and paddle surfing.
04:47 All right, so, you all saw that video, right?
04:50 Now, the craziest thing was,
04:51 and I don't know, this is sort of awkward,
04:52 you actually breathed into Max's mouth,
04:55 which you don't have to do anymore.
04:56 No, you do not.
04:57 No, you do not.
04:58 But you considered that your first kiss?
04:59 Well, she just wanted to kiss me, I think.
05:00 Yeah.
05:01 (audience laughing)
05:02 Yeah, she wanted to kiss you.
05:03 She's a sly little doctor.
05:05 (audience applauding)
05:06 You wanna show the audience how to do this?
05:08 Yes, I'd love to.
05:08 Come on over.
05:09 Now, again, Annie wanted to kiss Max, so they did it.
05:12 But you don't have to do that.
05:13 No, you do not.
05:14 Step one, you call 911,
05:16 and it turns out that step two
05:17 is just doing chest compressions.
05:18 It's as effective as the breathing.
05:20 And you don't have to worry about the squeamish
05:22 about breathing in someone's mouth.
05:24 You get over, put your hands on top of their chest,
05:26 and you can hum any song you want, right?
05:29 We were singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" earlier,
05:30 but whatever you want, but 100 times a minute.
05:32 Right, now, while they do this, this is important.
05:34 Speaking of heroes, there's a brand new,
05:36 and it's free, life-saving app called Heart Hero,
05:39 created by a company that I co-founded
05:41 with some friends of mine, right?
05:42 It teaches you how to do hands-only CPR.
05:45 It's a pop quiz to keep your life-saving skills fresh.
05:48 There it is.
05:49 And it will alert you if someone near you
05:51 is having a heart emergency and needs your skills.
05:53 You can run over to your neighbor and save their life.
05:55 Remember, with CPR, you have the power to save a life.
05:58 And most of the time, 80% of the time,
06:00 it's someone you care about.
06:02 So make it happen.
06:04 We'll be right back.
06:05 Thank you for watching.
