A dramatised 'real life' example is seen. A man is in trouble in the sea and begins to drown. His friends swim to him and begin ventilation when they are still in the water. They pull him to shore and begin mouth-to-mouth respiration. He coughs and they turn him into the recovery position. Next, a burning house is seen. Firemen lift an unconscious lady out and when they reach a safe stairwell, begin ventilation. Next, a mother finds her son suffocated by a plastic bag. She panics and calls her daughter, who tells her to call an ambulance then begins resusciation. The narrator says, 'Give the panicker something useful to do - even if it is your mother'. This is the 'B' - 'Breathe for them'. Finally, the 'C' is seen - 'Circulate by chest compression'. A man is electrocuted and his heart stops, so two men perform mouth-to-mouth ventilation and compress his chest. The narrator summarises the three steps of the ABC of CPR.
