Basic Life Support (BLS)
1. Assess the situation
Make sure the person is on a firm surface
Tap the person on the shoulder and confirm that they need help.
2. Call for help
Look for someone who can get an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available at the
nearest emergency medical care center.
If there is no AED available, stay with the victim and call 911.
3. Open the airway
Lay the person on their back, and tilt their head back to lift their chin.
Remove any obvious blockages in the mouth or nose, such as vomit, blood, food, or
loose teeth.
4. Check for breathing
Listen carefully for breathing sounds for at least 10 seconds (except for occasional gasping
sounds).
If you cannot hear breathing sounds, begin CPR.
5. Start chest compressions
Kneel next to the person's neck and shoulders.
Position both of your hands (lower palms) on top of each other in the middle of the person’s
chest.
Compress (push straight down) the chest at least 2 inches (5 cm) but no more than 2.4
inches (6 cm).
Use your entire body weight (not just your arms) to deliver pressure at a rate of at least 100
compressions per minute.
Push hard and fast.
Allow a few seconds after each push so that the chest springs back.
6. Deliver rescue breaths
Tilt the person's head back, lift their chin, pinch their nose shut, and place your mouth over
their mouth to make a complete seal.
After mouth-to-mouth contact, blow to make the person’s chest rise.
If the chest rises, deliver a second breath.
Deliver at least two rescue breaths first, then continue compressions.
7. Continue CPR steps
Continue with the chest compressions cycles and breathing until:
The person exhibits signs of life, such as breathing or movement.
An AED becomes available.
Emergency medical services or a trained medical responder arrives on the scene and takes
over.
