What is CPR?

CPR stands for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation:

Cardio refers to the heart.Pulmonary refers to the lungs.Resuscitation refers to attempts made to keep victim alive.

CPR is an emergency procedure for people in Cardiac Arrest and it has to be performed both in hospitals and in pre-hospital settings.

Why CPR Must?

The main purpose of CPR is to keep organs alive by supplying them with oxygen, which are the most essential organs to human life and the most vulnerable to damage from hypoxia.

Effective CPR helps by delaying tissue death and extending the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage.

Steps In CPR

Recognition of The Arrest

Signs of cardiac arrest are present:

Sudden loss of Responsiveness.

Loss of Breathing and Irregular Heart Beat.

Unconsciousness.

Lack of Blood oxygen Circulation.

Compressions

You let the chest come all the way back up before you press down again. When you come up, don't take your hands off the chest. Just take your weight off the chest.

When you press down on the chest, press down about two inches deep, about this far. And be sure after you press down on the chest.

Managing the Airway

The management of the airway and ventilation is a vital component in the resuscitation of patients with respiratory and cardiac arrest

Blocked Airway Open Airway

Rescue Breaths

Giving rescue breaths introduces both you and the victim to risk of infectious diseases. For this reason, some people choose to carry emergency face masks with them. These are rather small and fit on a key chain.

The chest compressed should vary from 1/2 to 1/3 with rate 100 per minute.

Rescue Breathing

When, Victim is not still responding, try to provide duplicate breath by pouring air into it’s mouth.

Tilt the head, support it's Jaws, pinch the nose and blow air into its mouth.

Check for rise and fall of chest with each breath.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

The CPR includes continuous chest compressions and rescue breathing in an alternative manner.

The ratio will be 30 compressions after 2 rescue breaths.

Make sure head is tilted back and chin is up.

Rescue Breathing Chest Compressions

Defibrillatio

n

Quickly attach an automated external defibrillator (AED) and keep doing CPR while it's being attached.

Keep in mind that defibrillator's pads don't touch each other while attaching it.

Do not touch the victim while curing with defibrillator.
