Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions, often combined with artificial ventilation, to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation to the vital organs and to breathe in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
CPR oxygenates the body and brain and is thus favorable in making a later defibrillation advanced life support possible. On the other hand, delaying CPR often results in poor outcomes.
Here's an infographic showing the 10 steps to perform CPR:
Survey the area for scene safety. Although it is best to begin CPR as quickly as possible, the person who is about to perform CPR needs to ensure that he will be safe while performing the procedure. This may include looking for traffic, fires, or other potential dangers.
It's essential to call for emergency medical help as soon as possible, as every minute counts when someone is not breathing. If two people are present, one can begin CPR immediately while the other calls 911 for help. If only one person is present, that person should call 911 before beginning CPR if he has immediate access to a telephone or administer CPR and then call 911.
Check the victim's pulse and breathing to determine if CPR is necessary. If they are not breathing, start CPR immediately. It is essential to check for both a pulse and breathing before starting CPR, as CPR should only be performed if the person is not breathing.
It is crucial to ensure the person is on a flat, firm surface before starting CPR, as this will provide a stable base for chest compressions.
Chest compressions should be done only when the person is unconscious and does not have normal breathing, coughing, or movement.
To perform infant CPR:
Using the correct chest compressions technique, including proper hand placement and compressing at the correct rate, is essential.

Open the airway using the head tilt-chin lift technique by placing one hand on the chin and the other on the forehead and gently tilting the head back. This will ensure that the airway is open, allowing air to reach the lungs properly.
Mouth-to-mouth breathing in adults requires pinching the nostrils and giving two breaths into the mouth, while mouth-to-nose rescue breathing in adults requires breaths delivered through the nostrils.
If the victim is an infant, rescue breathing can also be administered simultaneously through the mouth and nostrils if the CPR performer's mouth is large enough to cover both.
Only trained professionals should attempt rescue breathing. Those uncomfortable with their skills in this area may consider performing hands-only CPR or compression-only CPR until emergency medical help arrives to provide advanced life support.
Repeat the CPR cycle of 30 chest compressions, followed by two rescue breaths until emergency medical personnel arrives to provide advanced life support or until the cardiac arrest victim regains consciousness or any signs of life.
Once AED is available, use it immediately.
Use an AED immediately for someone who is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Early defibrillation improves survival chances. Below are the steps to use an AED:
Avoid using an AED in standing water or if the chest is wet. Confirm that no one is in contact with the patient during a shock.
When the cardiac arrest victim starts breathing normally, put him in a recovery position and continue to monitor their breathing and pulse. A recovery position is a side-lying position to keep the airway open and reduce the risk of choking or aspiration.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure effective CPR and proper post-resuscitation care, improving survival outcomes.
If the person is not breathing on their own, continue CPR until emergency medical help arrives.
When the EMS arrives, provide information to the emergency responders about the victim who was found, how long the CPR was performed, and any other information that may be relevant to treatment.

Hands-only CPR involves providing chest compressions without rescue breaths. This CPR technique is suitable for:
Hands only CPR is easy to perform, focuses on circulation, and is effective in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.
CPR training is essential because it provides the skills and confidence needed to respond effectively in life-threatening emergencies, such as cardiac arrest. By learning proper chest compressions, rescue breaths, and AED use, you increase a victim's chances of survival. CPR Training ensures you're prepared to act quickly and correctly in high pressure situations. Affordable and flexible options are available, such as online certification programs, which allow you to learn at your own pace. To get trained, enroll with the American Training Association for CPR for affordable, self-paced training that fits your schedule and equips you with lifesaving skills.
