Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm taking a first aid class and I'm not sure how to do CPR. Can you tell me the steps?
user
Of course, CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. The basic steps are: call 911, start chest compressions (30 per minute), and give two breaths after every 30 compressions. Keep doing this until help arrives.
assistant
That sounds straightforward. What if I'm alone with the person and I need to use a phone to call for help?
user
If you're alone with the person, call 911 first, then start CPR. If you're in a public place, you can also look for an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to use if the person's heart has stopped beating.
assistant
Okay, got it. And what if the person is a child or infant?
user
For children and infants, the CPR steps are similar, but the chest compression rate and breaths are slightly different. It's best to take a first aid class specifically for pediatric CPR to learn the exact steps.
