These five actions represent the key components of CPR delivery:
- Ensure safety for all involved.
- Open the airway using head-tilt-chin-lift.
- Check for breathing, watching the chest and listening for airflow.
- Start compressions, applying firm, fast compressions in the centre of the chest.
- Provide rescue breaths (if trained), ensuring chest rise.
Consistent training ensures readiness when CPR is needed most.
