Note: If the 1st breath does not cause the chest to rise, retilt the head and ensure a proper seal before giving the 2nd breath If the 2nd breath does not make the chest rise, an object may be blocking the airway
Continue giving sets of 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths. Use an AED as soon as one is available! Minimize interruptions to chest compressions to less than 10 seconds.
CPR is performed when someone is unresponsive and not breathing or gasping for air. It is used to help save a life when the heart stops beating or is beating too ineffectively to circulate blood to vital organs.
100 to 120 compressions per minute, based on the CPR guidelines from the American Red Cross.
When performing compressions and rescue breathing, check for breathing for no more than 10 seconds.
Be prepared for moments that matter by taking a CPR class and you could help save a life.
