What is the first step in CPR?

Answer 1

First, you lie the person down on a safe surface. Tilt their head back. Go through ABC ( airway-tilting the head back , Breathing-put your ear over their mouth to hear if they are breathing, Circulation- check their pulse.) If they are not breathing, skip the pulse and go straight to mouth to mouth. Check if they are breathing for two seconds, then give them two breaths. Make sure to breath in and out as you give them the breaths. Then, start CPR pumping. I can't really explain how to align your hands over the internet though, sorry. After pumping 30 times, check if they are breathing. Give them another 2 breaths and keep going until they start breathing or the ambulance arrives. :)

Answer 2

To give mouth to mouth resuscitation you would:

1. check if the person can be roused - call their name; lightly shake the shoulder
2. call out for help - do not leave the person
3. tilt the jaw which opens the mouth
4. check if the person is breathing - does the chest rise and can you feel air from the mouth
5. look in the mouth / throat - is there an obstruction
6. leave dentures in place
7. sweep the mouth with a crooked finger IF you see vomit or loose material
8. re-tilt the jaw
9. make a full seal with your mouth on/over the person's mouth....give a quick two breaths - use a CPR mouth protector IF available
10. check for heartbeat - if none, begin cardiac resuscitation as well

NOTE: Check the Red Cross website for current CPR guidelines, which have changed over the years.
