When to use it
Use it when performing CPR on an unresponsive adult or child to remember to start with chest compressions before opening the airway.
Example
Finding an unresponsive adult, you deliver 30 hard chest compressions (C), tilt the head and lift the chin (A), then give 2 rescue breaths (B), then repeat the cycle.
Common mistake
Following the old A-B-C order and opening the airway first. Current guidelines prioritize Compressions before Airway to circulate oxygenated blood already in the lungs.
