CPR for Adults: When to Start Chest Compressions & Breaths
Start CPR compressions immediately if the person:
- Suddenly collapses
- Is unresponsive
- Is not breathing (or only gasping)
Call emergency services, begin high-quality chest compressions (100–120/min, 2–2.4" depth), and provide rescue breaths if trained (30:2 ratio). Early CPR saves lives.
