How Do I get Certified?
Certification for CPR and First Aid is easy to
obtain! Just find your local American Red
Cross center and sign up for the basic
training coarse!
The first important steps
in giving CPR are.
The three Cs!!
Is the scene safe?
Check for anything unsafe, such as spilled
chemicals, traffic, fire, and other hazardous
items.
Are you putting yourself in danger by helping
this person? Make sure you are also taking
care of yourself!
Is there anyone around who can also help?
Ask others around the scene for as much help
as they can offer!
Calling for help is often the most important
action you can take to help an ill or injured
person.
Call 911 or the local emergency number (If
there are other people at the scene, ask
someone else to call for you to help!)
Make sure you give the 911 operator the
correct information about your location, the
emergency, and any other information you
are able to give about the emergency!
Once you have followed the first two Cs, you may
need to give care until EMS personnel arrive.
Follow these guidelines:
Do no further harm.
Monitor the persons breathing and conciousness.
Help the person rest in the most comfortable
position.
Keep the person from getting chilled or
overheated.
Reassure the person.
Give any specific care needed.

The same first 3 steps apply for children as
adults when giving CPR. (check for

for signs of life)

Check for signs of life
If there are no signs of life, follow with 30 chest
compressions with only one hand.

different from an adult or child, you must

airway check for signs of life.
Give 5 rescue breaths then listen for signs
of life. Follow with 30 chest compressions
with only 2 fingers and not as much force.
