- Stopping compressions too often
- Incorrect hand placement
- Giving too many or forceful breaths
- Waiting too long to start CPR
- Not using an AED when one is available
✅ Correct CPR Steps (Adult)
1️⃣ Check for scene safety and responsiveness
2️⃣ Call 911 or have someone else call
3️⃣ Begin chest compressions immediately
- Hands in the center of the chest
- Push hard and fast
- 100–120 compressions per minute
- Depth: about 2 inches
- Allow the chest to fully recoil
4️⃣ Give 2 breaths after every 30 compressions (if trained)
5️⃣ Minimize interruptions for no more than 10 seconds
