CPR is a life-saving first aid procedure. It can significantly improve someone’s changes of surviving if they suffer a heart attack or stop breathing following an accident or trauma.
The steps vary depending on whether the person is an infant, child, or adult. However, the basic cycle of chest compressions and rescue breaths will remain the same.
Only use CPR when an adult has stopped breathing. Check the person to see whether they respond to verbal or physical stimuli before starting CPR.
