CPR
1. If no head or neck injury is apparent, tip the victim's head back by placing the palm of your hand on the forehead and simultaneously lifting up on the chin with two fingers of your other hand.
2. Listen for breath sounds by placing your ear close to the victim's mouth. Watch for movement of the chest or stomach.
3. Begin rescue breathing immediately (next section below) if breathing is very faint or if here is doubt that the victim is breathing.
