• Demand that the individual relaxes while lying flat on their back on a hard surface.

• Put the palm of one hand over the middle of the person's chest, right above the breastbone, and rest the other hand on top of the first.

• Make sure your elbows are straight while you use your full weight to squeeze the person's chest by roughly 5-6 centimetres. • While waiting for emergency medical help, perform compressions at a pace of 100 to 120 per minute.

• After performing chest compressions, a CPR-trained individual should attempt to open the victim's airway by gently tipping back the victim's head and pushing the chin forward in preparation for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

First, perform it while closing the nostrils of the person. The next step is to give the person some air by placing your mouth near the person's mouth. Take caution not to overdo it with the force of your breaths or the speed at which you breathe. One cycle of CPR typically consists of thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths. Do this repeatedly until aid arrives or the individual wakes up.
