The document outlines the steps for using an automated external defibrillator (AED) to assist someone experiencing cardiac arrest. The steps are: 1) check if the victim is unresponsive and not breathing normally, 2) call for help and send someone to get an AED, 3) perform CPR at a rate of 30 compressions to 2 breaths until the AED arrives, 4) turn on the AED which will assess the victim's heart rhythm, 5) if a shock is advised, deliver a single shock, 6) immediately resume CPR for 2 minutes, 7) repeat steps 4-6 until the victim starts breathing normally.
