Avoid exposing yourself to potential harm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Check Responsiveness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gently tap the person&#8217;s shoulder and shout, &#8220;Are you OK?&#8221; to check for responsiveness. If there is no response, call for emergency help immediately or ask someone else to do so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Call for Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the person is unresponsive, call the local emergency number yourself or instruct a bystander to call. If you&#8217;re alone, perform CPR for at least two minutes before making the call, unless you have immediate access to a phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Open the Airway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place the person on their back and tilt their head back slightly by lifting the chin. This helps open the airway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Check for Breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check for breathing by listening closely to the person\u2019s mouth and nose for breath sounds and watching for chest movement. Do this for no more than 10 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Begin Chest Compressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the person is not breathing or only gasping, start chest compressions immediately:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place the heel of one hand on the center of the person&#8217;s chest, then place your other hand on top, interlocking your fingers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use your body weight to compress the chest at least 2 inches deep at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. Allow the chest to return to its original position after each compression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Open the Airway and Give Rescue Breaths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After 30 compressions, open the airway again by tilting the head and lifting the chin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pinch the person\u2019s nose shut, take a normal breath, make a complete seal over the person&#8217;s mouth with yours, and blow to make the chest clearly rise. Give 2 rescue breaths. Each breath should take about 1 second.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8: Continue CPR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continue performing cycles of 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. If you have been trained in CPR and feel confident, you can alternate between compressions and breaths. If not, performing chest compressions alone is still highly effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 9: Use an AED if Available<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is available, use it as soon as possible. Follow the voice prompts carefully. CPR should be resumed immediately after the AED delivers a shock or advises no shock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 10: Don&#8217;t Stop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continue CPR until medical help arrives, the person starts to breathe or move, or you are too exhausted to continue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to receive formal training in CPR and AED use to ensure you&#8217;re performing these life-saving techniques correctly. Many organizations offer courses, and staying updated on the latest guidelines is crucial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step 1: Ensure Safety Step 2: Check Responsiveness Step 3: Call for Help Step 4: Open the Airway Step 5: Check for Breathing Step 6: Begin Chest Compressions Step 7: Open the Airway and Give Rescue Breaths Step 8: Continue CPR Step 9: Use an AED if Available Step 10: &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/herohow\/cpr\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;CPR&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","knowledgebase_cat":[34],"class_list":["post-599","knowledgebase","type-knowledgebase","status-publish","hentry","knowledgebase_cat-herohow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/knowledgebase"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":601,"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/599\/revisions\/601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"knowledgebase_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/everydayheroes.ddns.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase_cat?post=599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
