forward to open the airway.
7. Check for foreign body in the mouth, remove foreign
objects blocking the airway, if able.
8. Palpate the carotid pulse for no longer than 10
seconds). If absent, begin chest compression. If present,
continue rescue breathing and check pulse every 2
minutes.
9. Check for breathing:
 Look for chest movement
 Listen to normal breath sounds
 Feel for person’s breath on your cheek.
10. Give 30 chest compression. Ensure to release fully

with yours, making a seal.
12. Give two rescue breaths and watch to see the chest
rises.
13. If chest does not rise, reposition the head and repeat
the breaths.
14. Resume chest compression to restore circulation and
rescue breathing. (Count as 2nd cycle)
15. Continue the cycle of 30 chest compression to 2 rescue
breaths until there are signs of movement or help arives.
16. Put the person in recovery position if the pulse and
