How to do CPR
Check the victim for unresponsiveness.  If there is no response, call 911and return to the victim. In most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist you with the CPR instructions.


Tilt the head back and listen for breathing.  If not breathing normally, pinch the nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise.  Give two breath, each breath should take 1 second.


If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begain chest compressions.  Push down on the chest 1 1/2 to 2 inches 30 timesfight between the nipples.  Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.
