Perform CPR Do you know how to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ? 1) Safety First: Ensure the scene is safe for both you and the victim. Look out for any potential hazards. 2) Check Responsiveness: Gently tap the person's shoulder and shout, "Are you okay?" If there's no response, it's time to act. 3) Call for Help: Dial emergency services or direct someone else to do so. Quick professional intervention is crucial. 4) Begin CPR: Position Your Hands: Place the heel of one hand on the center of the person's chest. Place your other hand on top and interlock your fingers. 5) Give Compressions: Press down hard and fast, at least 2 inches deep, and at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Allow the chest to rise fully between compressions. 6) Open the Airway: Tilt the head back slightly and lift the chin. 7) Provide Rescue Breaths (if trained): Pinch the nose shut, place your mouth fully over the person's mouth, and blow to make the chest rise. Give 2 breaths, each lasting about 1 second. 8) Continue CPR: Keep performing cycles of chest compressions and rescue breaths until medical professionals arrive or the person begins to show signs of life.
