CPR-Procedure-for-GRD 2

CPR consists of chest compressions and rescue breathing to manually circulate blood to vital organs until normal heart function resumes. For adults, the recommended technique is to push hard and fast on the chest at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute, followed by two rescue breaths. For infants, the technique is to give two-finger chest compressions just below the nipple line at a rate of 100 per minute, followed by two rescue breaths. The document provides detailed steps and scoring criteria for performing CPR on adults and infants.

BASIC LIFE SUPPORT

ADULT/CHILD/INFANT CPR

DEFINITION:
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It consists of pushing on the chest (compression) and giving breaths.

CPR has 2 main parts: Compression and giving breaths.


Pushing hard and fast on the chest is the most important part of CPR. When you push on the chest, you pump blood to
the brain and heart.

Compression – is the act of pushing on the chest.


People often don’t work hard enough because they’re afraid of hurting the victim. An injury is unlikely, but it is better
than death. It’s better to push too hard than not hard enough.

Rescue Breathing
Compression is the most important part of CPR. If you’re also able to give breaths, you will help even more. Your
breaths need to make the chest rise. When the chest rises, you know the person has taken in enough air. Before giving
breaths, open the airway.
