Check the scene
Check for responsiveness – ask, 'Are you OK?'
Adult - call 911, then administer CPR
Child/Infant – administer CPR for 5 cycles, then call 911
Open victim's airway and check for breathing – look, listen, and feel for 5 - 10 seconds
Two rescue breaths should be given, 1 second each, and should produce a visible chest rise
If the air does not go in, reposition and try 2 breaths again
Check victim's pulse – chest compressions are recommended if an infant or child has a rate less than 60 per minute with signs of poor perfusion.
Begin 30 compressions to 2 breaths at a rate of 1 breath every 5 seconds for Adult; 1 breath every 3 seconds for child/infant 
Continue 30:2 ratio until victim moves, AED is brought to the scene, or professional help arrives
