What is CPR?
- When there is no pulse, meaning that the heart has stopped beating, an artificial circulation(chest compression) takes place.
- CPR – A combination process of chest compressions with artificial ventilation.
The Resuscitation Sequence
Look for any potential danger around you and the casualty
CHECK FOR CASUALTY’S RESPONSE
Tap the shoulder and try to get a response by asking questions or gently shaking him
OPEN THE AIRWAY
Perform head-tilt, chin-lift to open the airway
CHECK BREATHING
Check for breathing. Look, listen and feel
BREATHE FOR THE CASUALTY
If the casualty is not breathing, keep the head tilted back, pinch the nostrils closed, and give two breaths of mouth-to-mouth ventilation
CHECK FOR SIGNS OF LIFE
Monitor for signs of life (any movements or speech) for up to ten seconds. If there is no sign of recovery, begin CPR
COMMENCE CPR
Alternate 30 chest compressions (push hard and fast) to 2 breaths of artificial ventilation
