CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) is an effort to restore the ability to breathe & blood circulation in the body. Breathing & blood flow that stops can trigger brain damage that can result in a person dying in a matter of minutes.
When performing CPR:
- Victims must be moved to a safer place
- Contact the nearest medical personnel/hospital
- Check victim's consciousness by asking for name, checking pulse & blood flow
- Shake the victim's body slowly
- If the victim responds, try to keep the victim conscious until medical help arrives
- If the victim does not respond, perform CPR
- Lay the victim's body on a hard & flat surface
- Position yourself on your knees beside the victim's neck & shoulders
- Place one palm of your hand on the center of the victim's chest & place your other palm on top of your hand
- Straighten your elbows & place your shoulders directly over your hands
- Press the victim's chest 100–120 times per minute at a rate of 1–2 pressures per second
- Check if the victim can breathe again & shows a response
- If the victim has not responded, you can start trying to open the victim's airway to give artificial respiration
- Lift the victim's head & place your hand on the forehead
- Lift the victim's chin to open the airway
- Pinch the victim's nose, then place your mouth to the victim's mouth
- Give 2 breaths of air from your mouth while seeing if the victim's chest is raised like someone is breathing
- Repeat the chest compressions 30 times followed by giving 2 breaths
