You’ve already gone through the C-A-B method—Compressions, Airway, Breaths. Now it’s time to pull it all together and apply everything you’ve learned in your Online CPR/AED Course. Here’s how to perform Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) from start to finish:
Start by making sure the area is safe to approach. Put on your personal protective equipment (PPE) if you have it.
Next, tap the person and say loudly, “Are you okay?” You’re checking for any response.
If there’s no reaction, call out for help right away.
Dial 9-1-1, or ask someone nearby to do it. Have someone bring an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if one is available.
Now check for a pulse—but don’t spend more than 10 seconds doing it.
If there’s no pulse, begin chest compressions immediately. Place your hands in the center of the chest and push hard and fast—30 times, about 2 to 2.4 inches deep.
Once you’ve finished the compressions, open the airway with a head-tilt and chin-lift.
Then give 2 rescue breaths, each lasting roughly 1 second.
Keep going with 30 compressions and 2 breaths. Maintain a rhythm of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. Repeat this cycle until help arrives.
This chapter is part of your Online CPR/AED Certification Course and builds on everything you’ve learned so far. Keep practicing these steps so they feel natural in a real emergency.
