CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

How to Perform CPR

  • Quickly Check the scene for safety
  • If the person appears unresponsive, Quickly check for responsiveness by tapping and shout “are you okay”
  • If no response call 911 or have someone else call 911
  • Check for breathing, if they are not breathing start CPR
  • Lay the person on their back and open their airway
  • Perform 30 Chest Compressions
  • Perform 2 Breaths
  • Repeat until an ambulance or automated external defibrillator (AED) arrives

  1. Minimize interruptions in chest compressions
  2. Provide compressions of adequate rate and depth
  3. Avoid leaning on the victim between compressions
