Bystander / Adult, Child & Infant CPR

American CPR has implemented C.A.R.E. CPR™ as shown below - easier to learn & remember!

"Don't Stress... Compress!"™
All trained rescuers should provide chest compressions for victims of cardiac arrest. In addition, if the trained rescuer is able to perform rescue breaths, compressions and breaths should be provided in a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths, averaging 100+ compressions per minute.
But... If a trained rescuer cannot perform the rescue breaths, or a bystander is not trained in CPR, the bystander should provide compression-only CPR for the adult victim who suddenly collapses, with 100+ rapid and firm compressions in the center of the chest.
Whenever available, follow the directions of the EMS/911 dispatcher.
As always, a rescuer should relinquish care to any better prepared or trained rescuer, while remaining to assist and assure quality of care.
