Step 1: Check for safety

Give 2 breaths:

Open the airway to a past-neutral position using the head-tilt/chin-lift technique
Pinch the nose shut, take a normal breath, and make complete seal over the person’s mouth with your mouth.
Ensure each breath lasts about 1 second and makes the chest rise; allow air to exit before giving the next breath

Short summary

Step	What to do	Why it matters
1. Make sure to check the scene and the person	Ensure the area is safe for you to approach. Tap the person and ask loudly, “Are you okay?”	You avoid putting yourself at risk and determine whether the person is responsive.
2. Make sure to call for emergency help	If there's no response, call emergency services immediately or ask someone nearby to do it.	The sooner professionals are on their way, the better the person’s chances of survival.
3. Make sure to open the airway and check for breathinglue	Tilt the head back, lift the chin, and look, listen, and feel for breathing for no more than 10 seconds.	This helps identify if the person needs CPR and ensures nothing is blocking the airway.
4. Make sure to start chest compressions	Place your hands in the center of the chest. Push hard and fast — around 100–120 compressions per minute.	Compressions manually keep blood circulating to the brain and other vital organs.
