you cant, you need to slide them to the floor and do cpr, it has to be done on a hard surface or the compressions will not work. you also will not have an open airway to give your breaths.

I take care of a guy that is in a wheelchair, it depends on the w/c if it is a manul chair and you are strong tip the chair back ( back ofw/c is on the floor) then pull him out. Then give CPR. If he is in an electric w/c you need to slide him out CAREFULLY. Plus it all depends on why he is in a w/c. The guy I take care of is a quad. and there is NO WAY I could get him out by myself. You would need 2 ppl. I hope that helps

I'm not a medical expert, but in order to have the airway, lungs, etc. in the correct alignment for CPR, I believe that you would have to remove them from the wheelchair and lay them flat on the ground, bed, etc.

Lay them on the ground, then perform CPR.

Lie them flat on the ground. Make sure they do not have spinal injuries.

Put them out flat on their back. If they are already not breathing theres not too much wrong you can do, right?
