Here are some tips when performing CPR rescue.
<br><br>
• You can check for a pulse if you know how to do it quickly. If not don't waste time and skip it.
<br>
• If the victim is wearing a heavy jacket, remove it. If the victim is wearing a lightweight shirt, remove it you can do it quickly. If not, leave the shirt on.
<br>
• During CPR, if the victim begins to breathe on their own, roll them onto their side so that they don't choke on their own vomit, saliva, or anything else that might be in their mouth.
