How to Fill Out Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

1. Ensure your own safety: Before attempting CPR, make sure the scene is safe for both you and the victim. Check for any potential hazards or dangers.
2. Assess the victim: Check the victim for responsiveness. Gently tap their shoulder and ask if they're okay. If they do not respond, proceed to the next step.
3. Call for help: If there's someone nearby, ask them to call emergency services or do it yourself. Provide clear and concise information about the situation and location.
4. Open the airway: Place one hand on the victim's forehead, gently tilt their head back, and lift their chin with two fingers of your other hand. This maneuver helps open the airway.
5. Check for breathing: Look, listen, and feel for any signs of breathing. Pay attention for chest rise, breathing sounds, and movement. If the victim is not breathing or only gasping, initiate CPR.
6. Start chest compressions: Position yourself beside the victim's chest. Place the heel of one hand in the center of their chest, slightly above the lower half of the breastbone. Interlock your fingers and keep your arms straight. Push hard and fast, aiming for a compression depth of at least two inches. Perform 30 chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
7. Give rescue breaths: After completing the chest compressions, give two rescue breaths. Pinch the victim's nose shut with your hand, then create a seal over their mouth with yours. Blow into their mouth until you see their chest rise. Each breath should last about one second.
8. Continue cycles of CPR: Perform cycles of 30 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths. Continue until the victim shows signs of life, emergency help arrives, or you are too exhausted to continue.
