What are the seven steps of CPR?

As an expert in emergency medical response, I can guide you through the seven steps of performing CPR, which stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This life-saving technique is crucial for maintaining blood flow to the brain and other vital organs when someone's heart has stopped beating. Here are the seven steps of CPR: 1. Assess the Scene: Ensure the scene is safe for you to approach the victim. 2. Recognize Emergency: Check if the person is responsive by tapping their shoulder and shouting, "Are you okay?" 3. Call for Help: If the person is unresponsive, ask someone nearby to dial emergency services or do it yourself if no one else is available. 4. Position the Victim: Lay the person flat on their back on a firm surface. 5. Start Compressions: Place the heel of one hand on the center of the victim's chest and the other hand on top, interlocking your fingers. Push down hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. 6. Open the Airway: Tilt the victim's head back and lift their chin to open the airway. 7. Give Rescue Breaths: Pinch the victim's nose shut and give two rescue breaths, watching for the chest to rise. **After giving the rescue breaths, continue with chest compressions and alternate with rescue breaths, performing 30 compressions to two breaths until help arrives or the person starts to breathe on their own.**
