A (Airway) ensure open airway by
preventing the falling back of
tongue
B (Breathing) start artificial
ventilation of lungs
C (Circulation) restore the
circulation by external cardiac
compression

Check responsiveness:
Responsiveness
Tap shoulder and
shout Are you
ok?
A Airway
Open the airway
-Head tilt chin lift Place one hand over
the forehead and tilt the head back.
