CPR

Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation
This is a life-support technique
that is used in a medical
emergency when the victim is
not breathing and when no
longer has a pulse.
 There is a need for a formal training to
be able to administer CPR properly.
However, if the victim’s life depends on CPR
and nobody else is qualified.
Put your ear to his chest and listen for a
heartbeat, so that you can get the pulse
rate. If there is none, proceed to
administer CPR.
We use CPR when someone has collapsed
and is not breathing because it can keep
people alive until emergency services
arrive.
If there is no sign of breathing, or if
they are breathing unusual, noisy way,
we need to start CPR.

First make sure that an ambulance is on

its way. If you have someone with you,
ask them to make a call.
Circulation means the flow of
blood around the body and
when the heart stops pumping
we need to take over this role
by pushing hard and fast on
the chest
Start by placing the heel of one hand at
the center of the person’s chest and
interlock your finger like this. With
arms straightened, press down hard and
fast, letting the chest comeback up
fully each time.
Fast means around 2 times every
second and hard means that the
chest needs to go down about 5cm.
If you have been trained, you can
give 2 rescue breath after 30
compressions as this helps provide
some oxygen.
However, if you have not been trained or are not
comfortable, just keep going with hands only
continuous chest compressions.

D-Defibrillation
Which about delivering a shock to restart the
heartbeat.
First Aid for
Common
Accidents
1. Severe
Bleeding
Simply apply pressure on the area
in order to stop bleeding from
swallow wounds. If bleeding is due
to large or deep wounds. Apply
pressure in it with you finger until
a clot is formed, because it could
be fatal if too much blood is lost.
If there is no obvious
bleeding after an accident
but the victim gets into
shock, there may be
internal bleeding.
The signs of shock are:
- Paleness
- Rapid breathing
- Cold sweat
- Clammy skin
- Drowsiness
- Rapid pulse rate
- Loss of consciousness

2.Choking
Choking can happen when a piece
of food or foreign object blocks
the windpipe and the person is
unable to breath. If the
obstruction is only partial, the
victim can usually breathe in
enough air to cough dislodge the
object.
Immediate action is needed
when the airway is totally
blocked.
What should be done
1. Open the victim’s mouth and
sweep a hooked finger deep
inside to order to remove the
obstruction.
2. Slap the victim hard
between the shoulder blades
four times with the heel of
your hand, if nothing is
found.
3. If the victim is a small
child, raise your leg and hold
him face down over you
thigh, with his head lower
than his chest while slapping.
4. If the victim is a bigger
child or an adult, hold
head lower than his chest.
5. If you fail to remove the
obstruction, perform the
Heimlich maneuver until
such time that the objects
is removed.
6. If this fails, do
the mouth-to-
mouth
resuscitation.
