CPR is a rather violent procedure, unlike how it is portrayed in television shows, and usually causes significant secondary injuries, especially to the victim's rib cage. If performed improperly, not only will it be ineffective, but the damage can be severe. As such, it is only performed as a last resort. Therefore, you should not try CPR unless you have had training - if it is done incorrectly or when not absolutely necessary, it will almost certainly do more harm than good. <ref>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cpr.html</ref>
