How to use CardiAid
When you see a person lying unconscious:
- Make sure you, the victim and any bystanders are safe.
- Check the victim for a response. Gently shake the shoulders and ask loudly: “Are you all right?”.
If he responds:
- Leave him in the position in which you find him, provided there is no further danger.
- Try to find out what is wrong with him and get help if needed.
- Reassess him regularly.
If the patient does not respond: Shout for help and follow these steps:
Turn the victim onto his back. Open the airway by tilting his head back and lifting his chin up. Look, listen and feel for
breathing
If breating is absent or not normal, send someone for help and to bring the AED. Perform CPR until the AED arrives
