HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is kind of mouth to mouth resuscitation with chest pressing in particular manner with one hand held with another placing the palm on chest of patient and then pressing it with the count from 1 to 3 actually one hast to see the demonstration of CPR this is the best way else theoretical explanation can not give exact ideas how to do it, more over it can only be given when patient is grasping or almost dead hope this information help.
