[Onscreen visual: Close-up of Brutus Buckeye's gloved hands, one on top of the other, with both palms facing down, and fingers curled and interlaced.]

Narrator: First, call 9-1-1, or tell someone nearby to call, and get an AED. If you're calling yourself, put your phone on speaker so the operator can assist you.

[Onscreen visual: Woman has been replaced with a CPR manikin. Brutus places a cellphone face-up beside the manikin.]

Narrator: Then, get directly over the person.

[Onscreen visual: Brutus positions himself over the manikin while kneeling beside it, placing his interlaced hands on the manikin's chest. He begins pumping downward on the chest.]

Narrator: Put the heel of one hand in the center of the chest, put your other hand on top, and push hard and fast.

Narrator: Give 100 to 120 compressions per minute — about the rate of the music you're listening to right now.

[Onscreen text: IMPORTANT: Never stop compressions for more than 10 seconds!]

[Trumpets and other instruments join snare drums in music, which increases in volume]

Narrator: Continue pushing hard and fast, until the AED and help arrive. 

[Onscreen visual: We return to the scene of Brutus discovering the woman on the floor.]

Narrator: Remember: If you see a teen or adult collapse, don't hesitate. Call 9-1-1, get an AED, and push hard and fast in the center of the chest. Your actions can help save a life.
