* Assess the victim: Once you have managed to reach the victim with safety, make a quick assessment and find an answer. Watch for signs such as open eyes, move his hands and feet, or trying to talk. You can shake the victim's shoulders to see if any response, however in the case of young children and babies should not be shaken, but rub the chest to cause movement. Calling aloud and asking if it can establish the victim's consciousness or unconsciousness.
* Check for signs of breathing: You must then determine whether the victim is breathing. Watch typical rise and fall of the chest to indicate breathing. Alternatively, you can put your face near the victim so that his cheek touched the nose of the person and try to hear the sounds of breathing through the nose and mouth.
Remember that CPR should be administered only when the victim is not breathing. If the need for CPR is established technique to follow depending on the age of the victim. For an adult, CPR should be administered with both hands while laying the upper body weight on them. Only one hand should be used in case of a child and remember to breathe smoothly to give artificial respiration. Use only two fingers of a baby and place your mouth over the baby's mouth and nose when you breathe very gently. If two rescuers are there, then you should immediately call for assistance, while the other stays with the patient. But if you are alone then the emergency call should occur as soon as you can leave the victim after he should return quickly and continue with CPR and trying to revive and stabilize the person until help arrives.
