CPR in Three Easy Steps: CALL, BLOW, PUMP
Check the scene to see if it is safe! Check the victim for consciousness. If there is no response, CALL 911 for help and return to the victim. In most situations emergency dispatcher can assist you with CPR instructions.
Tilt the head back and listen for breathing. If there is no breathing, pinch nose with your fingers and cover the mouth with your mouth, then BLOW until you see the chest rise. Give two breaths. Each breath should only take one second.
If the victim is still not breathing regularly, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. PUSH down on the chest 1½ to 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.
Continue with 2 breaths and 30 pumps until help arrives. This procedure is the same for one-person or two-person CPR. In two persons CPR the person pumping the chest stops while the other gives mouth-to-mouth breathing.
PLEASE EVERYONE TRY TO ATTEND A CPR CLASS
