    • CPR - First aid

    This page gives information and guidance about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This includes hands-only CPR and CPR with rescue breaths.

    If someone is unconscious and not breathing normally, call 999 and start CPR straight away.

    When you call 999 for an ambulance, you should be given basic life-saving instructions over the phone, including advice about CPR.

    CPR on adults

    If you have been trained in CPR, including rescue breaths, and feel confident using your skills, you should give chest compressions with rescue breaths.

    If you're not completely confident, attempt hands-only CPR instead.

    Hands-only CPR

    To carry out a chest compression:

    1. Kneel next to the person and place the heel of your hand on the breastbone at the centre of their chest.

      Place the palm of your other hand on top of the hand that's on their chest and interlock your fingers.

    2. Position yourself so your shoulders are directly above your hands.
    3. Using your body weight (not just your arms), press straight down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) on their chest.
    4. Keeping your hands
