If you are unable to open the casualty's airway in their current position, roll them onto their back.

If the chest does not rise after the second breath, go back to 30 compressions and then try again with 2 breaths. If possible to do so safely, you should turn off the source of electricity, either by switching off the current at the mains, turning the power off at the circuit board, removing the plug or wrenching the cable free. Electrocution can be fatal; notices that promote risk assessment, prevention, awareness and response to accidents are about saving lives.
