Checking for Breathing in CPR: Look, Listen, Feel

Assess breathing in an unresponsive person using three simultaneous actions for no more than 10 seconds:

1. Look for chest rise and fall.
2. Listen for breath sounds at the mouth/nose.
3. Feel for airflow on your cheek.

If no normal breathing (agonal gasps do not count), begin CPR immediately: 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. Continue until help arrives or the person breathes normally.
