CPR Steps

CPR
Remember your A,B,C,D's

Always assess the scene and make sure it is safe for you to be with
the victim to render aid. If the scene is not safe stay clear until it is.

Assess the victim. Tap and shout. If no response yell for help, instruct
someone to call 911 and get an AED.

If you find a child or infant unconscious and you are alone you will give
five cycles, approximately two minutes of CPR before calling 911.

Airway. Perform a head tilt chin lift to open the airway. Look , listen
and feel for signs of normal breathing. Occasional gasps are not good
enough and you will then have to

Breathe. While still tilting the head, hold the victims nose closed and
make a good seal and deliver two breaths. You should be able to see
the victims chest rise and fall. Each breath given should last about 1
second. After the second breath is given start immediately with

Compressions. Clear the victims clothing for proper hand placement
and begin chest compressions. Push hard and fast. Depress the
chest approximately 2 inches on an adult and child half the depth of
the chest for children and infants. Perform 30 compressions before
giving two more breaths.

You will continue giving breathes and compressions until an AED
arrives, the victim is revived, someone else with an equal or greater
skill level takes over, you cannot physically continue, or it becomes
unsafe for you to continue CPR.

Defibrilation. Use and AED as soon as it is available.
