This is NOT CPR
Every time a clip like this goes viral, thousands of people believe that chest pain = start chest compressions
It doesn’t
In fact, doing CPR on someone whose heart is still beating can do more harm than good
CPR is not the treatment for chest pain
CPR is ONLY for CARDIAC ARREST
You start CPR ONLY when the person is:
1. UNRESPONSIVE (Unconscious, won't wake up)
2. NOT BREATHING (or only gasping)
3. PULSELESS (No heartbeat)
News channels and viral social media pages continue to circulate videos like this without any medical context
Millions watch them, save them, and assume this is exactly what they should do in an emergency
If someone develops severe chest pain, seek urgent medical care. Do not start chest compressions
CPR is reserved for when the person collapses into cardiac arrest
Please don’t learn CPR from viral clips.
Learn it from certified courses or reliable educational videos.
Knowing when not to perform CPR is just as important as knowing how to perform it.

Despite calling 108, the ambulance did not arrive on time. The woman was then taken to the hospital in a rickshaw and admitted for treatment.The conductor’s presence of mind and timely action are being widely praised for saving the passenger’s life.

Qualitative trop exists for a reason, faster triage and to support ECG findings when time matters
Studies show bedside/POC troponin can reach ~90–98% specificity and even >90% sensitivity, especially when repeated or timed properly
It’s less precise than lab hs-troponin, but that’s the trade off for speed, early decision making, and real world emergency use
