CPR

DEFINE: CPR

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consists

of mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression. CPR allows oxygenated blood to circulate to vital organs such as the brain and heart. CPR can keep a person alive until more advanced procedures (such as defibrillation an electric shock to the chest) can treat the cardiac arrest. CPR started by a bystander doubles the likelihood of survival for victims of cardiac arrest.

KNOW WHAT TO DO: CPR IT CAN BE AS EASY AS A- B- C: A - AIRWAY • Place victim flat on his/her back on a hard surface. • Shake victim at the shoulders and shout "are you okay?" • If no response, call emergency medical system then, • Head-tilt/chin-lift - open victims' airway by tilting their head back with one hand while lifting up their chin with your other hand. .

B - BREATHING • Position your cheek close to victims' nose and mouth, look toward victims' chest, and • Look, listen, and feel for breathing (5-10 seconds) • If not breathing, pinch victim's nose closed and give 2 full breaths into victim's mouth (use microshield). • If breaths won't go in, reposition head and try again to give breaths. If still blocked, perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver

C - CIRCULATION • Check for carotid pulse by feeling for 5-10 seconds at side of victims' neck. • If there is a pulse but victim is not breathing, give Rescue breathing at rate of 1 breath every 5 seconds Or 12 breaths per minute • If there is no pulse, begin chest compressions as follows: • Place heel of one hand on lower part of victim's sternum. With your other hand directly on top of first hand, Depress sternum 1.5 to 2 inches. • Perform 15 compressions to every 2 breaths. (rate: 80-100 per minute) • check for return of pulse every minute. • CONTINUE UNINTERRUPTED UNTIL ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE.

6 STEPS OF CPR (REVISED NEW 2000)

1. CHECK AREA-CHECK VICTIM FOR RESPONSIVENESS, CALL FOR ASSISTANCE!

2. OPEN (A)IRWAY- HEAD-CHIN LIFT METHOD 3. CHECK (B)REATHING- 5 SECONDS-IF NOT BREATHING • •

INFANT-GIVE 2 SLOW GENTLE BREATHS CHILD-ADULT GIVE 2 SLOW REGULAR BREATHS

4. CHECK (C)IRCULATION AND LIFENESS 10 SECONDS •

INFANT-BRACHIAL PULSE (INSIDE UPPER ARM CLOSEST TO YOU) • CHILD-ADULT-CAROTID PULSE (SIDE OF NECK CLOSEST TO YOU) • LOOK FOR SIGNS OF LIFE, MOVEMENT, COUGHING ETC.. 5. BEGIN EMERGENCY RESCUE STEPS, CALL 9-1-1/EMS • RESCUE BREATHING OR CPR OR FIRST AID

6. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE • • •

RECHECK CIRCULATION AND LIFENESS 5 SECONDS RECHECK BREATHING 5 SECONDS CONTINUE WITH NECESSARY STEPs

SUCCESS OF CPR On an average, the success rate is 3% according to a study in New york Success depends on : - early institution of resuscitative efforts - setting in which event occurs(home/hospital) - mechanism (Ven.tachycardia/fibrillation) - clinical status prior to cardiac arrest Success rate for VT- 67% VF- 25%
