If a person is unconscious or unresponsive, we need to provide first aid until help arrives. Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation is a method of bringing the blood circulation back to normal. Before delivering CPR we need to make sure that the environment is safe. If we are in immediate danger, we need to move the victim to a location which is safe for the both of us. The steps involved are:

1. Tilt the victims head backwards so that his/her air passage is open.
2. If the person isn't breathing, artificially ventilate by mouth to mouth resuscitation.
3. If the victim is still unresponsive, we need to start compressing his chest. We need to place both our hands on the victim's chest and push down. Usually we need to give about 30 chest compressions for every two mouth to mouth resuscitations.
