American Red Cross "First Aid and CPR/AED for the Workplace" (the handbook used in layperson CPR classes)1. The scene must be safe2. The victim must be unconscious or unresponsive3. 911 would be called at this point- not a condition, but an important step.4. The victim must not be breathing (some 'almost not-breathing' patterns are considered 'not breathing')Up until 2006, you also had to check the pulse on an adult- that is no longer taught for adult CPR by any of the major certification groups.However- a pulse check is still done by most of the groups if the victim is under 12 years old (8 for some programs)You recognize if a victim is unresponsive by tapping the shoulder and shouting 'Are you OK?' No response = unconscious.You check for breathing by putting your ear by the victim's mouth, then watch the chest. Look, listen, and feel for evidence of breathing for up to 10 seconds.I am a boy scout (17 and a half)
