If the casualty is unconscious and breathing, place them in the recovery position until medical help arrives 

B Breathing  Normal breathing should be established. Once the airway is open check breathing for up to 10 seconds. 

C Compressions  If they have no signs of life and there is no pulse, then chest compressions should be administered. Place two hands in the centre of the chest and press down hard and fast – 5–6 cm at a rate of 100/minute. You may only need one hand for a child and shouldn’t press down as far. For infants, use two fingers in the middle of the chest when delivering compressions and don’t press down too far. 

## Bleeding 

First, check for anything that may be in the wound, such as glass. 

Taking care not to press on the object, build up padding on either side of the object. If there’s nothing embedded, apply firm pressure
