CPR

CPR is a lifesaving technique used during cardiac emergencies like heart attacks. It involves chest compressions combined with artificial ventilation to maintain blood flow and oxygen to critical organs. The process of CPR begins by checking if the environment is safe, determining if the person is conscious, calling for emergency help, and checking for breathing and a pulse. If there is no breathing or pulse, CPR is started with 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths, repeating in cycles until signs of life return or emergency help arrives. The goal of CPR is to pump oxygenated blood to the brain and heart until normal rhythms can be restored.

CPR [Cardiopulmonary resuscitation ]

 WHAT IS CPR:-
 Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many
emergencies, including heart attack or heartbeat has stopped.
 Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a technique which is a combination of chest
compressions and artificial ventilation to maintain circulatory flow and oxygenation
during cardiac arrest.
 PROCESS:-
 BEFORE CPR
Before starting CPR, check:
 Is the environment safe for the person and you?
 Is the person conscious or unconscious?
 If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask
loudly, "Are you OK?“
 If the person doesn't respond, you should call 102 or the local emergency number
and get the AED,
 check to see if there is a pulse and breathing(by listening). If there is no
breathing or a pulse within 10 seconds,(by counting 1001,1002...1010),
 Then start CPR
 CPR
The American Heart Association uses the acronym of CAB — compressions, airway,
breathing .
PROCESS OF GIVING CPR
1. Compressions:
 Start CPR with 30 chest compressions,
 Push hard, push fast.
 Place your hands, one on top of the other, in the
middle of the chest medistenum.
 Use your body weight to help you administer
compressions that are at least 2 inches deep and
 Push hard at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions
a minute.
2. Airway: Open the airway
performed 30 chest compressions, open the
person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift
manoeuvre.
PROCESS OF GIVING CPR
3. Breathing: Breathe for the person
 With the airway open, Prepare to give two rescue
breaths.(Rescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth)
 Give the first rescue breath — lasting one second
— and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give
the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-
tilt, chin-lift manoeuvre and
then give the second breath.

NOTE:
 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths is
considered one cycle. Also known as 30:2 cycle of CPR
Failure to observe chest rise during breathing, it
indicates an inadequate mouth seal or airway
occlusion
Continue CPR until there are signs of movement or
emergency medical personnel take over.
