  1. Call 911, then push hard and fast ✔
  2. Check a pulse, then wait
  3. Give water, then raise the legs

Why: Send someone for an AED if possible. Push in the center of the chest until help or an AED is ready.

Huh, didn't know that: Hands-only CPR uses chest compressions only, with no breaths, to keep blood circulating.
