When someone's blood flow or breathing stops, seconds count. Permanent brain damage or death can happen quickly. If you know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), you could save a life. CPR is an emergency procedure for a person whose heart has stopped or is no longer breathing. CPR can maintain circulation and breathing until emergency medical help arrives.
Even if you haven't had training, you can do "hands-only" CPR for a teen or adult whose heart has stopped beating ("hands-only" CPR isn't recommended for children). "Hands-only" CPR uses chest compressions to keep blood circulating until emergency help arrives. If you've had training, you can use chest compressions, clear the airway, and do rescue breathing. Rescue breathing helps get oxygen to the lungs for a person who has stopped breathing. To keep your skills up, you should repeat the training every two years.
1) Make sure the scene is safe before approaching the victim.
2) Check to see if the person responds by tapping the victim and shouting, “Are you OK?
3) If the person doesn’t respond, get help. Have you and someone else call Emergency Medical Service.
4) Check for breathing. The breathing should be normal, not gasping. If the person is not breathing or only gasping, they need CPR.
5) Begin CPR with 30 chest compressions. Push down at least 2 inches. The rate of compressions is at least 100 compressions a minute. After each compression let the chest come back up to its normal position.
6) Open the airway with a head tilt-chin lift and give 2 breaths.
7) Continue giving 30 compression and 2 breaths until the person starts to respond, you are too exhausted to continue, the scene becomes unsafe, an AED arrives or EMS (Emergency Medical Services) arrives.
