CPR IN TWO SIMPLE STEPS - HANDS-ONLY CPR
This method of CPR was recommended by the AHA in an Advisory Statement (March 31, 2008). It is intended for bystanders untrained in standard CPR, who see an adult suddenly collapse. It is also recommended for situations when the rescuer is unable or unwilling to provide mouth-to-mouth ventilations. (Please try to attend a CPR training course)

1. CALL

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

2. PUMP

If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions.  Push down on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples.  Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.
