The following illustrated pages were created by the University of Washington School of Medicine and based on the latest recommendations by the American Heart Association. They illustrate the basics for administering two types of CPR: the three-step method, which involves blowing into a victim’s mouth; and the two-step “hands only” method.

Have you ever performed CPR or watched someone else try to revive an unconscious person? If so, what went through your head at the time?
