CPR Step C

Circulation

  - pump the chest 30 times.
Place the heel of one hand in the center of the chest and your other hand on top of it. Press chest down about 2 inches at a rate of 100 per minute (16 in 10 seconds).
CPR Step A

Airway

  - tilt head back, lift chin up to open airway.
CPR Step B

Breathing

  - Pinch nose closed, take a normal breath, cover victim's mouth with yours and blow out your breath until you see the chest rise. Give a second breath. Take about 1 second per breath. If chest doesn't rise, open airway again.

Repeat C - A - B

  until help arrives or the victim begins breathing.
If there are two rescuers, one does the breathing and one does the compressions - CPR steps and ratios remain the same.
