- Put your ear to the victim’s open mouth. Look for chest movement, listen for air flowing through the mouth or nose, feel for air on your cheek.
- If there is no breathing, pinch the victim’s nose; make a seal over the victim’s mouth with yours. Give the victim a breath big enough to make the chest rise. Let the chest fall, then repeat the rescue breath once more.
- Place the heel of your hand in the middle of the victim’s chest. Put your other hand on top of the first with your fingers interlaced. Compress the chest about 1-1/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm). Allow the chest to completely recoil before the next compression. Compress the chest at a rate equal to 100/minute. Perform 30 compressions at this rate.
- Repeat rescue breaths. Open the airway with head-tilt, chin-lift. This time, go directly to rescue breaths without checking for breathing again. Give one breath, making sure the chest rises and falls, then give another.- # - Perform 30 more chest compressions. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for about two minutes.
- Stop compressions and recheck victim for breathing. If the victim is not breathing, continue chest compressions and rescue breaths.
Hands-only CPR:
Put the heel of your hand directly on the center of the chest, between the nipples. Push down about 1.5 inches at a rate of 100/minute or about 2 per second.
# Chest compressions are extremely important. If you are not comfortable giving rescue breaths, still perform chest compressions!
# It’s normal to feel pops and snaps when you first begin chest compressions - DON’T STOP! You aren’t going to make the victim any worse.
# When performing chest compressions, do not let your hands bounce. Let the chest fully recoil, but keep the heel of your hand in contact with the sternum at all times.
