R = Responsive? | Tap the person on the shoulder and shout, “Are you okay?” |
A = Activate EMS. | Shout for help. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number. Get an AED. |
B = Breathing? | Observe the chest for movement; take 5-10 seconds. no more than 10 seconds! |
C = Compressions | Place the heel of one hand on the center of the person’s chest and on the lower half of his or her breastbone. Place your other hand on top of the first one with fingers interlocked. Push hard, fast, and smoothly. |
A = Airway | Open the airway. Place your hand on the person’s forehead; apply pressure to tilt the head back. Place two fingers of your other hand under the bony part of the person’s jaw and lift. Tilt the head backward. |
B = Breaths | Give 2 breaths. If you see chest rise, give 30 chest compressions. If the first breath does not make the chest rise, retilt the head and give a second breath. Each time before giving a breath, open the mouth and look for an object; if seen, remove it. |
While doing RAB-CAB, what do you do after you finish all of the steps? | Continue cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths UNTIL an AED arrives. When an AED becomes available, use it as soon as possible. |
