• What You Need To Know About CPR

What is Cardiopulmonary?
1. CPR is a life-saving technique that can be
used in a lot of situations, like when someone
has a heart attack or is near drowning and their
breathing or heartbeat stops. It's recommended by
the American Heart Association that everyone, no
matter if they're a bystander or a doctor, should
start CPR with some chest compressions. 2.  If
you're worried that your knowledge or skills
aren't up to scratch, it's much better to take
action than sit back and do nothing. Don't forget
that the difference between doing something and
not doing something could be someone else's
life.

• Cardiopulmonary Take Action

Actions to be taken-

1. Provide hands-only CPR, consisting of unbroken
   chest compressions of approximately 100 a minute,
   until paramedics arrive. There is no need to
   attempt rescue breathing.
2. For those who are well-trained and confident in
   their ability, chest compressions should be
   initiated first, followed by respiratory checks
   and rescue breaths.
3. For those who have received CPR training but are
   not confident in their abilities, chest
   compressions at approximately 100 a minute should
   be initiated.

• Cardiopulmonary Advice

Note-
1. Adults, children, and infants all need CPR,
but newborns do not. 2. CPR keeps blood flowing
to your brain and other important organs until
more effective medical treatment can restore your
heart to normal rhythm. 3. When your heart
stops, your brain is deprived of oxygenated
blood, which can cause brain damage within
minutes. In some cases, you could die in as
little as eight to ten minutes. 4. How to learn
CPR properly? To learn CPR, you must complete an
accredited first-aid training course. This course
includes CPR and the use of an AED (Automatic
External Defibrillator).

• Cardiopulmonary Before CPR

Before starting CPR, check -

1. It is essential to ascertain whether the
   individual is conscious or unconscious.
2. If the individual appears to be unconscious, it
   is advisable to tap or shake their shoulder and
   ask them if they are okay. If two people are
   available and the individual does not respond, it
   is necessary to contact the local emergency
   number and initiate
3. CPR. If one is alone and has immediate access to
   a phone, the emergency number should be called
   prior to initiating CPR. Unless it is believed
   that the individual has become unresponsive due
   to suffocation (e.g. drowning), CPR should be
   initiated for one minute before calling the local
   emergency number.

• Cardiopulmonary C-A-B

Remember to spell C-A-B

• The acronym CAB stands for -
• Circulation,
• Airway,
• and Breathing
• --- is used by the American Heart Association to
  remind people of the order in which CPR should be
  performed.

7

• Cardiopulmonary Circulation

Circulation Restore blood circulation with chest
compressions

• Position the individual on their back on a hard
  surface.
• Kneel down next to the neck and shoulders.
• Place the heel of your hand over the middle of
  the persons chest, between the
• nipples Place your other hand over the
  first hand.
• Keep your elbows straight and place your
  shoulders just above your hands Push straight
  down on the chest with your upper body weight,
  not just your arms.
• Push down about 2 inches (about 5 centimeters)
  Push hard at around 100 compressions per minute.
• If you havent received CPR training, keep
  compressions going until there are no signs of
  movement If you have received CPR training,
  continue compressions Check the airway Rescue
  breathing.

• Cardiopulmonary Airway

Airway Clear the airway

• Open the persons airway If youre CPR trained
  and youve done 30 compressions, perform the
  following maneuver
• Place your palm on your patients forehead.
• Gently tilt the patients head back .
• With your other hand, lift the victims chin
  forward .
• Look for normal breathing (take no more than 5 or
  10 seconds)
• Check for chest motion.
• Listen to normal breath sounds .
• Feel for your patient breath on your face and
  ear Note that gagging is not considered normal
  breathing. If your patient isnt breathing and
  you are CPR trained, start mouth to mouth
  breathing If you believe your patient is
  unconscious due to a heart attack, but youre not
  CPR trained, skip mouth to mouth rescue breathing
  and keep doing chest compressions

• Cardiopulmonary Mouth - to - Mouth

Breathing Breathe for the person Rescue
breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or
mouth-to-nose breathing if the mouth is seriously
injured or can't be opened

1. When the airway is open (with the use of the head
   tilt, chin lift maneuver), pinch your nostrils
   closed for mouth to mouth breathing and cover
   your mouth with hers, forming a seal. Prepare to
   breathe two rescue breaths
2. The first rescue breath (duration of one second)
   See if your chest rises or falls. If your chest
   rises, breathe in two more breaths. If your chest
   does not rise, breathe in three more breaths.
3. If your chest doesnt rise, use the head tilt
   chin lift maneuver and breathe in three more
   times. A 30-minute cycle of 30 CPR followed by 2
   CPR breaths is considered a cycle. Continue CPR
   to restore circulation.

• Cardiopulmonary Mouth - to - Mouth

1. If 5 cycles (about 2 minutes) have elapsed and
   the person has not moved, apply and follow the
   prompts provided.
2. Administer 1 shock, then continue CPR (starting
   with chest compressions) for 2 more minutes, then
   administer a second shock. If you are not trained
   in the use of an AED, an emergency medical
   operator (EMO) may be able to assist you in using
   it. Use pediatric pads (if available) for
   children aged 1 to 8. Do not use An AED for
   babies under 1 years old. If an AED is not
   available, follow step (below).
3. Continue CPR until there are symptoms of movement
   or until emergency medical personnel take control.
