Initial Assessment
Check for responsiveness and breathing. If unresponsive and not breathing, shout for help, and begin CPR immediately.
Rescue Breathing
Tilt the victim's head back to open the airway and give 2 rescue breaths. Pinch the nose and cover the victim's mouth with yours to create an airtight seal.
Chest Compressions
Perform 30 compressions at a depth of at least 2 inches for adults or 1/3 the depth of the chest for children, at a rate of 100-120 per minute.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use
Turn on the AED and follow the prompts. If a shock is advised, ensure no one is touching the victim and press the shock button when ready.
Recovery Position
Once the victim is breathing, place them on their side in a stable recovery position, monitor breathing and responsiveness, and prevent choking if vomiting occurs.
