A medic may ask ~~you~~ to perform CPR. ~~This is because a medic performing~~ CPR is ~~not any more or less effective than a soldier. Medics ''~~are~~'' better than a soldier~~ at bandaging ~~and closing wounds~~, ~~so the goal is~~ for ~~a soldier~~ to CPR while ~~the~~ medic bandages. CPR is performed by opening the medical menu using {{Key press|H}} while looking at the patient, clicking the patient's chest, clicking the square icon with the zig-zag lines, and then clicking CPR.

A medic may sometimes ask someone else to perform CPR. Effectiveness of CPR is the same regardless of who does it, however, medics are generally faster (due to their supplies) at bandaging. Thus, it's usually better for someone else to CPR if needed while a medic bandages. CPR is performed by opening the medical menu using {{Key press|H}} while looking at the patient, clicking the patient's chest, clicking the square icon with the zig-zag lines, and then clicking CPR.

~~Do so~~ twice in a row, then check heart rate. If there is ~~none~~, or it's weak, repeat the cycle until it reads as strong unless told otherwise by the medic. Once it's strong, you may return to the fight unless the medic requests further assistance.

When asked, perform CPR twice in a row, then check heart rate. This is done by opening the medical menu again and clicking the icon on the far left to see the relevant button. If there is no heart rate, or it's weak, repeat the cycle until it reads as strong unless told otherwise by the medic. Once it's strong, you may return to the fight unless the medic requests further assistance.
