First Aid Techniques:
1 - State of consciousness?
To find out whether they are breathing, ask them if they are OK and gently shake their shoulders
2 - Call for help
If they do not respond and if you are alone, call for help
Lay them on their back
3 - Breathing normally?
Check their breathing by placing one hand on the casualty's forehead and your fingers from your other hand beneath the tip of their chin
Gently tilt their head backwards to raise their chin, in order to free their airways
Place you ear next to their mouth for around 10 seconds, and try to hear and feel their breath. Watch their chest to see if you can see breathing movements
4 - Act according to their state
Act according to the state of the casualty
If they are breathing, place them in the recovery position. Alert the emergency services, cover and monitor them until help arrives
If they are not breathing, alert or ask someone in the vicinity to alert the emergency services, and begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation, alternating 30 chest compressions with 2 rescue breaths
If you do not not know how to give mouth-to-mouth, only perform 30 chest compressions, at a rate of 2 per second
