Voice
“Quickly press on the patient’s chest”
F. Place yourself vertically to the victim’s chest and, with arms
extended, press the sternum. Keeping the arms extended, perform
external cardiac massage by using the weight of the torso; the
oscillating movement must be centred around the hip joint.
G. After each compression, release all pressure on the chest without
losing contact between your hands and the sternum; repeat the
manoeuvre with a frequency of 100/min (a little fewer than 2
compressions per second)
H. The compression/release phases must be of equal duration.
