Steps Of Providing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Steps Of Providing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency procedure that is used to save the life of someone who is in cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating and the person stops breathing. CPR helps to keep the blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until medical help arrives.

Steps Of Providing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions and artificial ventilation to save the life of a person whose heart has stopped beating or breathing has ceased.

The steps of CPR are as follows:

1. Check the scene and the person. Make sure the setting is safe and that you are not putting yourself in danger. Check to see if the person is conscious and breathing. If they are not, call 911 or your local emergency number.
2. Open the airway. Tilt the person’s head back slightly and lift their chin to open the airway. If you see anything blocking the airway, such as vomit or food, remove it carefully.
3. Check for breathing. Place your ear near the person’s mouth and nose and look for chest movement. Listen and feel for breathing for no more than 10 seconds. If the person is not breathing, start chest compressions.
4. Perform chest compressions. Place the heel of your hand on the center of the person’s chest, just below the nipples. Put your other hand on top of the first hand and interlock your fingers. Lock your elbows and keep your shoulders directly over your hands. Press down on the chest about 2 inches (5 centimeters) and release. Repeat this at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
5. Give rescue breaths. If you are trained in CPR, give two rescue breaths after every 30 chest compressions. To give rescue breaths, pinch the person’s nose shut and cover their mouth with yours. Blow into their mouth until their chest rises.
6. Continue CPR. Continue CPR until the person starts breathing on their own, help arrives, or you are too tired to continue.

It is important to remember that CPR is not a cure for cardiac arrest. It is a temporary measure that can help keep the person’s blood flowing and oxygenated until help arrives. If you are ever in a situation where you need to perform CPR, remember to stay calm and follow the steps carefully. You could save a life.

Here are some additional tips for performing CPR:

• If you are not trained in CPR, you can still help by calling 911 or your local emergency number.
• If you are alone with the person, do not leave them to get help. Call 911 and then start CPR.
• If the person is a child or an infant, use different hand positions and compression depths.
• If you are using an automated external defibrillator (AED), follow the device’s instructions.
• Do not give up. CPR can be tiring, but it is important to continue until help arrives or the person starts breathing on their own.
