Emergency resuscitation

If someone's heart has stopped and they've stopped breathing, you need to act fast:

Call out for help. Tell someone to call an ambulance;
Quickly look in their mouth and scoop out any foreign bodies or vomit;
Lay them on their back;
Tilt their head back and lift the chin slightly to open the airway;
Close their nostrils with your thumb and finger;
Place your mouth over their mouth and blow until their chest expands;
Repeat;
Feel for a pulse at the side of their neck or at the wrist;
If there is no sign of life, perform cardiac massage (see next page).
