Here are the 7 Steps for CPR
CHECK the scene for safety, form an initial impression and use personal protective equipment (PPE)
If the person appears unresponsive, CHECK for responsiveness, breathing, life-threatening bleeding or other life-threatening conditions using shout-tap-shout
If the person does not respond and is not breathing or only gasping, CALL 9-1-1 and get equipment, or tell someone to do so
Kneel beside the person. Place the person on their back on a firm, flat surface
The American Red Cross CPR guidelines recommend 100 to 120 chest compressions per minute, 30 at a time. Remember these five points:
- Hand position: Two hands centered on the chest
- Body position: Shoulders directly over hands; elbows locked
- Compression depth: At least 2 inches
- Rate of compressions: 100 to 120 per minute
- Allow chest to return to normal position after each compression
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
Note: If the 1st breath does not cause the chest to rise, retilt the head and ensure a proper seal before giving the 2nd breath If the 2nd breath does not make the chest rise, an object may be blocking the airway
Continue giving sets of 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths. Use an AED as soon as one is available! Minimize interruptions to chest compressions to less than 10 seconds.

The American Red Cross CPR/AED Participant’s Manual supports the courses in the American Red Cross program, to teach participants the knowledge and skills needed to give immediate care to an injured or ill person and to decide whether advanced medical care is needed. This manual contains information about recognizing an emergency, the emergency action steps, recognizing cardiac arrest, signs of a heart attack, giving CPR, the cardiac chain of survival, how to use an AED, care for choking, care for sudden illnesses and other life-threatening injuries and naloxone administration. This program meets the various training needs of a diverse audience. The care steps in the program are consistent with the 2020 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and the 2020 American Heart Association and American Red Cross Guidelines for CPR and First Aid.
