There are no steps provided in the 7-step format, but the following steps for CPR are mentioned:
To carry out a chest compression:
Kneel next to the person and place the heel of your hand on the breastbone at the centre of their chest.
Place the palm of your other hand on top of the hand that's on their chest and interlock your fingers.
Position yourself so your shoulders are directly above your hands.
Using your body weight, press straight down by 5 to 6cm on their chest.
Keeping your hands on their chest, release the compression and allow their chest to return to its original position.
Repeat these compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 times a minute until an ambulance arrives or for as long as you can.
After every 30 chest compressions, give 2 rescue breaths.
