- Do not slap the victim to get them awake, and most certainly don't rattle/scare them. Shake one shoulder gently, and call out to them.
- Remember that CPR is different for adults, children and infants; this CPR is meant to be administered to an adult.
- If possible, wear gloves and use a breathing barrier/mouthpiece when possible to make transmission of diseases less likely.
- Most importantly, don't panic. Although a cardiac arrest is a very stressful event, it is important to stay calm and think clearly.
- If the person has normal breathing, coughing, or movement, do not begin chest compressions.
- As long as you got the positioning of your hands right, don't be afraid to use your upper body strength to press on the adult's breast bone. After all, you need the force to press the heart against the victim's back to try to pump blood.
- Do not move the patient unless he or she is in immediate danger or are in a place that is life-threatening.
- Remember, if someone is not already in your care, you must ask permission of a responsive victim, whether you can help. If he or she is unresponsive, then you have implied consent.
- Do not worry about breaking ribs or the sternum, which can be repaired, but death from a cardiac or respiratory arrest is irreversible. High quality CPR requires hard, deep compressions which may cause damage.
