B = BREATHING • Position your cheek close to victims' nose and mouth, look toward victims' chest, and • Look, listen, and feel for breathing (5-10 seconds) • If not breathing, pinch victim's nose closed and give 2 full breaths into victim's mouth (use microshield if available). • If breaths won't go in, reposition head and try again to give breaths.

  6. C = CIRCULATION • C - CIRCULATION • Visually check for any signs of circulation and recovery. • If there is no signs of circulation, begin chest compressions as follows: • Place heel of one hand on lower part of victim's sternum. With your other hand directly on top of first hand, Depress sternum 1.5 to 2 inches. • Perform 15 compressions to every 2 breaths.
