• A = Airway
• B = Breathing
• Ensures early chest compressions

Why CAB Instead of ABC?
• Focus on early compressions = higher survival
• Oxygen in blood is enough initially
• Circulation must start immediately

Step 1: Circulation–
Chest Compressions
• Check carotid pulse for 10 sec
• If absent → start compressions
• Rate: 100–120/min
• Depth: 5–6 cm (adults)
• Allow full chest recoil
CPR Team Roles
