  6. First AidPatient Assessment • A (Airway) • Assess for unresponsiveness • Open the Airway (Head tilt-Chin lift) • B (Breathing) • Look, Listen and Feel for Breathing • If not breathing, give two normal breaths • C (Circulation) • Check Pulse at Carotid Artery (5-10 seconds) • If no pulse, start chest compressions
