CPR....are you prepared?

Mrs. Bocks, our P.E. teacher, instructed the MERIT Program about what to do if a person is not breathing or is choking.
In order to be prepared for life threatening situations you should know these life saving steps.

• Check the scene. Is it safe?
• Are you ok? Are you ok?
• Call 911
• Head tilt/chin lift (this opens the airway)
• Look, listen, and feel for breathing for 5-10 seconds
• 2 breaths (if chest does not rise, retilt and give 2 more breaths)
• Check pulse
• Check for severe bleeding
• Begin rescue breathing or CPR
