Hands-Only CPR on Adults - Four Simple Steps

Page 1

STEPS TO PERFORM HANDS-ONLY CPR CHECK RESPONSIVENESS: Tap the person's shoulder and shout, "Are you OK?" Look for normal breathing. Call 911 if there is no response.

DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS: Place the heel of your hand on the center of the person's chest and the other hand on top of your first hand, lacing fingers together. Push hard and fast, compressing chest at least 100 times per minute.

STOP ONLY IF: The person starts breathing normally. A trained responder or emergency help takes over. You are too exhausted to continue.

USE AN AED: Turn on the AED and wipe chest dry. Push the "Analyze" button if necessary. If a shock is advised, push the "Shock" button.
