1. Hands-only CPR: This involves performing chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute without giving rescue breaths. This method is recommended for untrained individuals or those uncomfortable with giving rescue breaths.
2. Traditional CPR: This involves a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths. After checking for responsiveness and calling for help, the rescuer should give 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. This cycle should be repeated until help arrives or the person starts breathing on their own.
3. CPR with an AED: If an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available, it should be used in conjunction with CPR. The AED will provide instructions on when to administer a shock if needed, while CPR should be continued in between shocks. AEDs are designed to be user-friendly and can be used by individuals with minimal training.
