The steps of CPR are easy
Check that the area is SAFECheck to see if the patient is responding.
Call for help - dial 082 911
Open the patient’s airway. Gently tilt the head back and lift the chin.
Check to see if the patient is breathing; do this by looking at the chest and listening.
If the patient is not breathing, give two breaths.
Take 1 second per breath and check to see that the chest rises.
Continue with breaths and compressions at a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
Compress the chest at a rate of 100 compressions per minute.
Push in the middle of the chest, pushing down approximately 5cm.
Push hard and fast, allowing the chest to completely recoil.
Continue doing this until the patient recovers, or until help arrives.
If you are uncomfortable doing mouth-to-mouth, or do not have a protective mouth piece, doing only chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute is acceptable.
The best way to learn CPR is to attend a CPR class, so that you can practice the skills and remember them.
