Remember, be an organ donor, give blood, be aware of nearby AEDs at all times, and take every chance you can to look out for those around you. Including strangers and loved ones.

If you have a baby learn infant CPR:

If you have kids or plan to be around kids, it's worth looking into child / infant CPR classes as well. Along a similar vein is https://www.stopthebleed.org/. It's better to have life saving skills and not need them than to need them and not have them.

As many have pointed out, CPR is much less effective than an AED. With an AED, survival rate is ~23% vs ~14% from CPR alone (https://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/aed-cpr)
