1 CHECK the scene for safety, form an initial impression and use personal protective equipment.
2 If the person appears unresponsive, CHECK for responsiveness, breathing, life-threatening bleeding or other life-threatening conditions using shout-tap-shout.
3 If the person does not respond and is not breathing or only gasping, CALL 9-1-1 and get equipment, or tell someone to do so.
4 Kneel beside the person, place the person on their back on a firm, flat surface.
5 The American Red Cross CPR guidelines recommend 100 to 120 chest compressions per minute, 30 at a time.
6 Give 2 breaths, open the airway to a past-neutral position using the head-tilt/chin-lift technique.
7 Continue giving sets of 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths.
