7. Perform 30 chest compressions. Place one of your hands
on top of the other and clasp them together. With the heel
of the hands and straight elbows, push hard and fast in the
center of the chest, slightly below the nipples. Push at least
2 inches deep. Compress their chest at a rate of least 100
times per minute. Let the chest rise fully between
compressions

clear, tilt his/her head back slightly and lift the chin. Pinch
their nose shut, place your mouth fully over his/hers, and
blow to make the chest rise. If the chest does not rise with
the first breath, re-tilt the head. If the chest still does not
rise with a second breath, the person might be choking.

breaths until the person starts breathing or help arrives. If
an AED arrives, carry on performing CPR until the machine
is set up and ready to use.
