Remember - you may be the casualty's only chance of survival. You can boost that chance by 40% only by executing Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

by yelling and trembling him/her. If there is no reaction, Call 112 and return to the casualty. In most locations the emergency paramedics can help you with CPR instructions. Pulse Location - Carotid artery (neck)
Circulation
If the casualty is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down with 2 hands 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.

Breathing
If not breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 1 second.
