EASY STEPS TO PERFORM CPR AT HOME “ARE YOU OK?” Ensure that the person is in a safe environment. Secondly, you will need to check if the individual is conscious by tapping them on the shoulder and asking out loud, “Are you OK?”
PERFORMING CPR Place the one hand on the individual’s chest right between the nipples. Place the other hand right on top of the first and interlock your fingers. Make sure that your hands are straight on the elbows and shoulders directly above.
CHEST COMPRESSION Compress the victim’s chest at least 5 to 6 centimeters (which is 2 to 2.4 inches). Perform 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
RESCUE BREATHE Perform rescue breathes on the mouth or nose, depending on the victim’s condition. In this position, with the airway open, pinch on the person’s nose and seal their mouth with your own.
