3.1 WHEN AN ADULT STOPS BREATHING
Warning:DO NOT attempt to perform the rescue breathing
techniques provided on this page, unless certified.
Performance of these techniques by uncertified
personnel could result in further injury or death to the
victim.

Tap or gently shake victim.
Shout, “Are you OK?“
2 Shout, “Help!“
Call people who can phone for help.
3 Roll Person onto Back.
Roll victim towards you by pulling slowly.
4 Open Airway.
Tilt head back, and lift chin.
Shout, “Are you OK?“
5 Check for Breathing.
Look, listen, and feel for breathing for 3 to 5
seconds.
6 Give 2 Full Breaths.
Keep head tilted back.
Pinch nose shut.
Seal your lips tight around victim's mouth.
Give 2 full breaths for 1 to 1½ seconds each.
7 Check for Pulse at side of Neck.
Feel for pulse for 5 to 10 seconds. 8 Phone EMS for Help. Send someone to call an ambulance.
9 Begin Rescue Breathing.
Keep head tilted back.
Lift chin.
Pinch nose shut.
Give 1 full breath every 5 seconds.
Look, listen, and feel for breathing between breaths.
10 Recheck Pulse Every Minute.
Keep head tilted back.
Feel for pulse for 5 to 10 seconds.
If victim has pulse, not breathing, continue
rescue breathing. If no pulse, begin CPR.
