BLS - ✔✔✔Basic Life Support
What is the first step of CPR - ✔✔✔Start compressions within 10 seconds.
What is the second step of CPR - ✔✔✔Push hard, push fast
What should be your rate of compression - ✔✔✔You compress at a rate of 100 to 120/min

adults, and children. At least one 1 1/2 inches (4 cm ), for Infants.
What is the third step of CPR - ✔✔✔Allow complete chest recoil after compression.
What is the fourth step of CPR - ✔✔✔Minimize interruptions in compressions (try to limit
interruptions to at least 10 seconds. )
What is the fifth step of CPR - ✔✔✔Give effective breaths that make the chest rise.
