New guidelines for CPR

    Call 911

    Start chest compressions

• Place the heel of your hand on the center of the victim's chest. 
• Put your other hand on top of the first with your fingers interlaced.
• Press down compressing the chest 2 inches in adults and children.
• Press down compressing 1.5 inches in infants.
• Do compressions 100 times a minute.
• That is about the same rhythm as the beat of the Bee Gee's song "Stayin' Alive."
• Keep doing the compression until 911 arrives.

  If you're been trained in CPR:

• Open the airway with a head tilt and chin lift.
• Pinch the victim’s nose closed. Take a normal breath, cover the victim's mouth with yours to create an airtight seal and then give two, one-second breaths as you watch for the chest to rise.
• Do 30 compressions to two breaths until help arrives.
