CPR: ,,CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION” A person in cardiac arrest needs CPR to survive. CPR stands for cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and consist of 2 parts: - CHEST COMPRESSIONS - BREATHS When CPR is needed, chest compressions can help blood to get to the brain and other vital organs. ACTIONS TO TAKE: If you find yourself in an actual emergency, follow these steps to determine whether a person needs CPR. 1- Make sure the scene is safe Look for anything nearby that might hurt you. You can’t help someone if you are injured too. 2- TAP AND SHOUT - Check to see if the person is responsive. Kneel at their side, tap them, and shout “Are you OK? Are you OK?” Someone who’s responsive moves, speaks, blinks, or otherwise react Someone who doesn’t react is consider unresponsive 3- South for help If the person is unresponsive, shout for help. If you’re with other - Have them phone 9-1-1 and get an AED (defibrillatore) If you’re alone - Phone 9-1-1 - Put your phone on speaker mode - Get the AED - Do not delay the start of CPR PHONE 9-1-1 - the dispatcher will ask you about the emergency WHERE YOU ARE? WHAT’S HAPPENING - Keep in mind that answering the dispatcher’s questions will not delay the arrival of help.

This ensures that the dispatcher has all the necessary information to send help, and also allows the dispatcher to provide instructions for CPR if necessary CHECK FOR BREATHING - you’ve made sure the scene is safe, checked to see if the person is responsive, and shouted for help and phoned 9-1-1 if they are not responsive - SCAN THE CHEST FOR 5 second, but no more than 10 seconds - Look for the chest to rise and fall Unresponsive and breathing normally - they do not need CPR - Roll them onto their side if you don’t suspect a neck or back injury - Stay with them until advanced help arrive Unresponsive and NOT breathing normally - they need CPR GASPING FOR BREATH: - GASPING (drawing air in very quickly and sounds like a snort, snore or goan - AGONAL GASPS ( appear forceful or weak and usually happen at a slow rate) HANDS-ONLY CPR FOR TEENS AND ADULTS CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and consists of 2 parts: - Chest compressions - Breath COMPRESSIONS: ,,Are the most important part of CPR” HANDS-ONLY CPR In the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, survival rates of those who receive Hands- only CPR and those who receive CPR with breaths are similar If you’re willing and able to give breaths, you should do so, especially for children or anyone who might be in cardiac arrest due the respiratory issues (such as drowning or drug overdose) 2 steps for Hands-Only CPR There are 2 simple steps to provide Hands-Only CPR - Phoen 9-1-1 - Push hard and fast in the center of the chest What does it mean to push hard and fast? - PUSH HARD: to a depth of at least 2 inches - PUSH FAST. At a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute CHEST COMPRESSIONS ,,is the act of pushing on the chest” She provides compressions to someone in cardiac arrest, you’re acting like the heart, helping to pump blood to the brain and other vital organs. This can keep the person’s blood circulating until advanced help arrives and takes over HIGH-QUALITY COMPRESSIONS To perform high-quality compressions, you need to do 4 things: - Provide compressions that are deep enough (at least 2 inches) - Provide compressions that are fest enough (100 to 120 compressions per minute) - Allow the chest to retouch to its normal position after each compressions - Don’t interrupt compressions for more than 10 seconds 1- Move the person to a firm, flat surface 2- Quickly move bulky clothes outback the way 3- Put the heel of one hand on the center of the chest, and put your other hand on top of your first hand 4- Push straight down at least 2 inches (5cm) at a rate of 100 to 120/min 5- After each compression, let the chest come back up to its normal position 6- Minimize interruptions in chest compressions to 10 seconds or less These steps apply in all situations and for everyone, including pregnant woman INTRODUCING TO CHILD CPR The steps are the same in the adult CPR 1- Make sure the scen
