CPR is often used to revive victims of electric shock, near-drowning, and heart attack. According to the National Institutes of Health, quick CPR can triple a victim's chances for survival. The best way to learn the technique is to take a certified training class. (See http://www.americanheart.org to find a class near you.) The following tips offer a quick introduction to CPR, but they can't take the place of training. When to use CPR Before performing CPR, check to see if the victim is responsive. Ask him if he's okay and touch him on the shoulder. If he responds or is breathing, CPR isn't necessary. If he doesn't respond, you need to get emergency help right away. Call 911 or have someone call for you. If you're alone, you may have to leave the victim for a few moments to call for emergency help. CPR is intended to keep a victim alive until medical help arrives.

CPR can only buy time to apply advanced cardiac life support. Without advanced cardiac life support, CPR is useless. Three simple steps to CPR AIRWAY If possible, place victim flat on his or her back on a hard surface. However, the airway can still be cleared if the victim is sitting upright or floating in water. Open the victims' airway by tilting their head back with one hand while lifting up their chin with the other hand. If there is a chance of neck injury just lift up the chin. Tilting of the head in the presence of injury to the spine or the neck could result in further injury to the spinal column. BREATHING Put your cheek close to the victims' nose and mouth while looking at the victims' chest, to look, listen, and feel for breathing (10 seconds) If there is no breathing, pinch victim's nose closed and breath two full breaths into the victim's mouth. Each should last about 2 seconds.
