Check for breathing or gasping
Remove the person’s clothes out of the way
Place hands on the lower breastbone, then give compressions
There should be 30 compressions given at around 18 seconds
After compressions, give 2 breaths with or without a mask
The chest must rise, 10 seconds or less needed for breaths
Attach and turn on AED when it arrives, follow AED instructions
