what is the correct placement of your hands during CPR
During CPR, the correct placement of your hands will depend on whether you are performing chest compressions or giving rescue breaths.
For chest compressions:
1. Place the heel of one hand at the center of the victim's chest.
2. Place the other hand on top of the first hand and interlock your fingers.
3. With your arms straight, begin compressing the chest by pushing down hard and fast, letting the chest come back up between compressions.
For rescue breaths:
1. Tilt the victim's head back while lifting their chin with one hand.
2. Pinch their nose closed with your other hand.
3. Make a seal over the victim's mouth with your mouth and give two slow breaths, looking for their chest to rise with each breath.
Remember to always call for emergency medical services (EMS) first and follow their instructions, as they may provide additional guidance based on the situation.
