Knowledge for CPR
Untrained. If you're not trained in CPR, then provide hands-
only CPR. That means uninterrupted chest compressions of
about 100 a minute until paramedics arrive. You don't need to
try rescue breathing.
Trained and ready to go. If you're well-trained and confi-
dent in your ability, begin with chest compressions instead of
first checking the airway and doing rescue breathing. Start
CPR with 30 chest compressions before checking the airway
and giving rescue breaths.
