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.
