Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
A person may need CPR if they - have drowned, had a heart attack, had a stroke,
went into cardiac arrest, or is choking
Death is likely to occur after 10 minutes of oxygen loss to the brain
4-9 minutes without oxygen to the brain is likely to result in brain damage
0-4 minutes without oxygen to the brain is unlikely to cause harm
Call out to the patient and see if they respond, do not check for a pulse, call 911 or
have someone else call 911, perform CPR
Chest Compression Fraction - The total percentage of resuscitation (life saving care)
time performed by the rescuer during cardiac arrest.
Personal Protective Equipment keeps you safe from viruses and infections while
performing CPR
Examples of PPE - Face shields, CPR shields, Gloves, goggles, gowns, masks
Hands Only CPR
Hands only CPR is just as effective as mouth to mouth
Use Conventional CPR with children and infants
If the person has had cardiac arrest use mouth to mouth CPR
1. Kneel beside the person
2. Place the heel of your hand in the center of their chest, and the heel of your
other hand over your first hand
3. Keep your shoulders directly over your hands and your arms straight
4. Push at least 2 inches deep at 100 BPM, allow the chest to rise completely
between each compression
5. Use your body weight to help with the compressions
6. Keep pushing until you see indications of breathing or life
