CPRCardiopulmonary Resuscitation- an emergency technique used to save a victim that isn’t breathing and who doesn’t have a heartbeat. CPR starts with Rescue Breathing: an emergency
technique in which the rescuer gives air to someone who is not breathing.
CPR also uses chest compressions in order to help the blood flow when the heart has stopped.
![Page 23: First Aid](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56816143550346895dd0b69d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Steps for CPRABC’s A: Airway: Make sure the airway is clear and
open. If not, you cannot move air into the victim’s lungs.
B: Breathing: Is the victim breathing? Look and feel for movement/breathing. Watch the chest as you put your face near the victim’s mouth.
C: Circulation: Is the victim’s heart beating? Check it by looking for signs of life like movement or breathing.
