Open the airway with a gentle head tilt and chin lift.. Open the airway with a gentle head tilt and chin lift. Then pinch the soft part of the nose and seal the mouth to give two breaths, each lasting about one second, just until the chest starts to rise. Resume compressions with minimal interruption: 30:2 CPR. If unable or untrained to give breaths, perform continuous compressions following 112 and use an AED when available. Do not delay CPR for general cleaning of the casualty.
