YouTube will now direct you to the right first-aid videos during an emergency | Searching YouTube for advice on CPR, heart attacks, or other critical health emergencies will now highlight authorita…::A YouTube shelf of first-aid advice for acute health emergencies from legit sources is now set up to provide advice on topics like heart attack, CPR, choking, or stroke.
