If you do not suspect that there is a head, neck or upper back injury, first tilt the head way back to open the airway. Next put your face next to the person's mouth and nose and look at their chest. Then, for 10 seconds, Look, Listen, and Feel -- Look for the chest to rise and fall, Listen for the sound of breath from the nose or mouth, and Feel on the side of your face for the person's breath. If you do not detect any signs of breathing within the 10 seconds, begin CPR.
If you do suspect an injury to the head, neck or upper back, do not tilt the head back to open the airway. Instead, perform a jaw thrust to open the person's airway. If you are not sure how to do it, just grab their chin and pull it forward as far as it will go without moving the head.
