How to fill out basic cardiac life support

How to fill out basic cardiac life support:

1. Assess the situation: Determine if the person is responsive and if they require immediate medical attention. Call for help if necessary.
2. Perform chest compressions: Place the heel of one hand on the center of the person's chest, place the other hand on top, and interlock the fingers. Push hard and fast, aiming for a depth of about 2 inches and a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
3. Provide rescue breaths: Tilt the person's head back and lift the chin to open the airway. Pinch the person's nose and create a seal with your mouth over theirs. Deliver two rescue breaths, each lasting about one second.
