3. If they do not respond, call 9-1-1 or ask someone to do so
4. Place person on their back on a flat surface
5. Give 30 compressions with hands centered on chest and arms locked in place. Shoulders should be directly over hands as you compress about 2 inches allowing chest to return to normal position after each compression
6. Open airway by tilting head back and check for obstruction in throat, if no obstruction, proceed by giving a breath at least 1 second long, enough for chest to rise
7. Continue with sets of compression and 2 breaths until medical help arrives
