Solution

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is actually needed to save a life after cardiac arrest. Banging the chest with a large stick is not a recommended method. Here are the steps for performing CPR:

  1. Call 911: If you see someone collapse and they are unresponsive, call for emergency medical help immediately.

  2. Check for breathing: If the person isn't breathing or is gasping for air, start CPR.

  3. Chest compressions: Kneel next to the person and place the heel of one hand in the middle of their chest. Place your other hand on top of the first. Push hard and fast, compressing their chest at least 2 inches deep and at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.

  4. Rescue breaths: If you're trained in CPR, you can now open the person's airway by tilting their head back slightly and lifting the chin, pinch the person's nose shut and make a complete seal over the person's mouth with yours. Blow in for about 1 second to make the chest clearly rise. Give rescue breaths, one after the other.

  5. Continue CPR steps: Keep performing cycles of chest compressions and breathing until the person exhibits signs of life, such as breathing, an AED becomes available, or EMS or a trained medical responder arrives on scene.

Note: If you're untrained in CPR, then just do chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 a minute until paramedics arrive.
