Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation CPR

CPR involves performing chest compressions and rescue breathing when someone's heart has stopped. It is used in cardiac emergencies like heart attack to pump blood to the heart and brain until emergency services arrive. The procedure for CPR involves checking the ABCs of airway, breathing and circulation. If there is no breathing but a pulse, rescue breathing is provided. If there is no breathing or pulse, chest compressions are performed at a rate of 100 per minute along with breaths in a 30:2 ratio until an AED arrives or emergency help takes over. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

• CPR – or Cardiopulmonary

Resuscitation – is an emergency
lifesaving procedure performed when
the heart stops beating. Immediate
CPR can double or triple chances of
survival after cardiac arrest.
• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
is a lifesaving technique that's useful in
many emergencies, such as a heart
attack or near drowning, in which
someone's breathing or heartbeat has
stopped. 
CPR Facts
• The most common cause of death from a heart attack
in adults is ventricular fibrillation
• Ventricular fibrillation:
• A disturbance in the electrical rhythm of the
heart
• Can be treated with defibrillation (applying an
electrical shock to the chest)
• If a defibrillator is not readily available, brain
death will occur in less than 10 minutes
CPR Facts
• During cardiac arrest, the heart stops
pumping blood. 
• CPR is one way of buying time until normal
heart function is restored, or a defibrillator
becomes available.
• CPR provides artificial breathing and
circulation, keeping oxygenated blood
flowing to the heart and brain.
• The earlier you give CPR, the greater the
chance of success.
• CPR is a combination of rescue breathing
and chest compressions.
When to Give CPR
• Someone is not breathing and has
no pulse
• If someone is not breathing, but has
a pulse, perform rescue breathing
When to Give CPR
• Check the ABCs:
• Airway
• Breathing
• Circulation
A is for
Airway
• Check their mouth or
throat for blockage
• Sweep the inside of
the mouth with your
fingers, if necessary
B is for Breathing
• Put your ear to the mouth and nose
• Listen to see if they are breathing
• Observe if the chest is rising
• Feel for breaths on your cheek
C is for
Circulation
Rescue Breathing
• Perform if a person has a pulse but
is NOT breathing
• Make sure they are lying on their
back
Rescue Breathing
• Tilt the head back
• Lift the chin with one hand
• Press the forehead back with the
other
• Close the airway through the nose
by pinching it
Rescue
Breathing
CPR
Procedure
• If a person’s airway is
clear but they are NOT
breathing and do NOT
have a pulse
• CPR involves giving
compressions which
pump blood to the brain
and heart.
CPR Procedure
• If a person’s airway is clear but they
are NOT breathing and do NOT have
a pulse
• CPR involves giving compressions
which pump blood to the brain and
heart.
CPR Procedure

• To give compressions:
• Put the heel of one hand on the center of
the chest between the nipples
• Put the other hand on top of the first hand
• Push hard and push fast
• Push at a rate of 100 times a minute
• After each compression, release pressure
on the chest to let it come back to its
normal position.
• Keep your elbows locked so you do not get
tired quickly.
CPR Procedure
• Give 2 breaths, 1 second each
• Give 30 compressions at a rate of 100 per minute
and then give 2 breaths.
• Remember to release pressure after every
compression
• Keep giving sets of 30 to 2 until:
• The automated external defibrillator (AED)
arrives
• Victim starts to move or
• Trained help arrives
Remember!
• Before you begin:
• Confirm that the area is secure
• Notify (or have someone notify)
medical personnel about the
situation
• CPR is best done with 2 people
• One person doing the breathing
• One person doing the compressions
