Give CPR to an unconscious person immediately
If someone has become unconscious and there is no pulse, then immediately give him CPR with your hands. Mainly two tasks are done in CPR. First is to press the chest and second is to give breath through the mouth which is called mouth to mouth respiration. Place your palm in the middle of the first person’s chest. While pumping, place the palm of one hand on top of the other and lock the fingers tightly and keep both hands and elbows straight. After that the chest is compressed by pumping the chest. By doing this the heartbeats start again. Press the chest with the palm for 1-2 inches. Do this a hundred times in a minute.
