Proper CPR

Maybe not to save your own life, but it could help you save someone else’s. When performing CPR, chest compressions need to be continuous, deep, and fairly quick. Call for an ambulance first. If you can get someone to help you, do so because it is exhausting. For an adult, good quality chest compressions should be two per second and 5-6cms deep.

You should lock your hands together, one on top of the other, get your arms straight, lock your elbows and push with the heel of your bottom hand into the middle of the chest hard. And you do not stop until help arrives. The rumor that chest compressions can crack ribs is true, but trust me, they’d rather have broken ribs than be dead.
