[gotcha] Instructing untrained bystanders to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

For untrained bystanders, instruct Hands-Only CPR \(chest compressions only\) at 100-120 bpm. Reserve rescue breaths for trained professionals or specific cases \(drowning/pediatrics\).

Journey Context:
Agents might default to the 'ABC' \(Airway, Breathing, Circulation\) or 30:2 ratio they learned years ago. For untrained people, pausing to do breaths reduces compression fraction and increases hesitation. The AHA/ERC updated guidelines to emphasize Hands-Only for bystanders to maximize continuous compressions.
