CPR is a lot easier that is used to be. Here is is in simple steps.
1. Tap and shout at person....say, "Are you ok?"
2. If no response and they seem like they are not breathing, call 911!
3. If trained, tilt head, pinch nose and give 2 one second breaths.
4. In the center of the chest, push down hard and fast 2 inches, 30 times
5. Repeat the cycles of 2 breaths and 30 compressions until an aed arrives or advanced ems arrives. If you do not know how to do breaths, give 30 compressions...wait a few seconds and then do 30 more over and over again.

There are three main steps that you must use to execute cardiopulmonary resuscitation effectfully and efficiently. They are known as Call, Pump, and Blow. The specifics for this is located on the "Washington Depts" website.
There should be 2 people performing the CPR; 1 for breaths & the other for compressions using the two-thumb encircling technique.
For a neonate; 3 compressions to 1 breath.
For a normal size newborn: 15 compressions to 2 breaths.
