CPR is the first help technique that you can use when someone is not breathing properly and their heart has stopped. There are various kinds of CPR depending on the accidents. Basic CPR for adults, pregnant women and infants are also performed differently. As basic CPR is meant to be a first aid in breathing, you have two options whether to carry out chest compressions or give mouth-to-mouth help. Remember to put your patients or victim heads lower than their chest. Make sure the patient is in a safe area. Look up for their response like asking their name while squeezing their shoulder, when the victim doesn’t react make a call but stay with the victim. Start the chest compressions as soon as possible after you call for help.
