If the casualty is unconscious and breathing, place them in the recovery position until medical help arrives B Breathing   Normal breathing should be established. Once the  airway is open check breathing for up to 10 seconds.  C Compressions   If they have no signs of life and there is no pulse,  then chest compressions should be administered. Place two hands  in the centre of the chest and press down hard and fast – 5–6 cm at  a rate of 100/minute. You may only need one hand for a child and  shouldn’t press down as far. For infants, use two fingers in the  middle of the chest when delivering compressions and don’t press  down too far.  First, check for anything that may be in the wound, such as glass.  Taking care not to press on the object, build up padding on either  side of the object. If there’s nothing embedded, apply firm pressure  Bleeding  highwaycodeuk.co.uk 186
