Steps of CPR. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is pushing down on a person's chest and breathing into his or her mouth. It is used in emergencies when someone's heart stops beating, or when he or she is not breathing normally (may be gasping for breath) or is not breathing at all.
Someone who is about to perform CPR should make sure that the victim is lying on his or her back and on a relatively firm surface, such as the ground or a floor. The person then kneels next to the victim's upper body and places the heel of one hand on the breastbone in the middle of the victim's chest.
