Question

So what are the steps to doing CPR again?? thx in advance!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

STEP 1Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, call 911 and then return to the person.



STEP 2 Tilt head, lift chin: Check breathing.

Position the person flat on their back. Kneel by their side and place one hand on the forehead and the other under the chin. Tilt the head back and lift the chin until teeth almost touch. Look, listen, and feel for breathing.

STEP 3 Give two breaths.

If not breathing normally, pinch the nose and cover the mouth with yours. Give two full breaths. The person's chest will rise if you are giving enough air.

STEP 4 Check pulse.

Put the fingertips of your hand on the Adam's apple, slide them into the groove next to the windpipe on the side closest to you. Feel for a pulse. If you can not feel a pulse or are unsure, move on to the next step.

STEP 5 Position hands.

Position your hands in the center of the chest between the nipples. Place one hand on top of the other.

STEP 6 Compress 15 times.

Push down firmly two inches keeping your elbows locked. Push on chest 15 times.

These are the 6 basic steps of CPR.

hope this helps.
