Pre Procedural steps:
1. Check the scene for safety.
2. Check for responsiveness using shout /tap-shout.
3. If the person does not respond and is not breathing or only gasping, CALL 108 or the local
emergency number to get equipment, or tell someone to do so.
4. Place the person on his/her back and open the airway.
Place the person carefully on his/her back and kneel beside the chest. Tilt his/her head back slightly
by lifting the chin.
5. Open the mouth.
6. Check for breathing. Place your ear next the person's mouth and listen for no more than 10 seconds.
If you do not hear breathing, or you only hear occasional gasps, begin CPR.
Intra procedural steps:
7. Perform 30 chest compressions. Place one of your hands on top of the other and clasp them together.
With the heel of the hands and straight elbows, push hard and fast in the center of the chest, slightly
below the nipples. Push at least 2 inches deep. Compress their chest at a rate of least 100 times
per minute. Let the chest rise fully between compressions.
8. Perform two rescue breaths Making sure their mouth is clear, tilt his/her head back slightly and lift the
chin. Pinch their nose shut, place your mouth fully over his/hers, and blow to make the chest rise. If
the
chest does not rise with the first breath, re-tilt the head. If the chest still does not rise with a second
breath, the person might be choking.
9. Repeat the cycle of 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths until the person starts breathing
or help arrives. If an AED arrives, carry on performing CPR until the machine is set up and ready to
use.
