CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a fast acting way to save someone. You have to check for any signs of life, which will prevent you from doing CPR if it is not needed. Rescue breaths are about one second long and make the chest rise, lungs inflate, and heart pick its rhythm up. Chest thrusts done at the natural rhythm of the person's heart rate make the heart beat manually instead of by the person's will. It does not work automatically. CPR is done at the ratio 2:32. 2 breaths for every 32 chest thrusts. That's how it saves you.
