1. The document outlines the steps for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with an automated external defibrillator (AED).
2. The steps include assessing the patient for responsiveness, calling for help, performing chest compressions, delivering shocks with the AED, and continuing care until emergency services arrive.
3. Key actions include tilting the head to open the airway, checking for breathing, administering chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, using the AED to analyze rhythms and deliver shocks if indicated, and providing oxygen and rescue breathing as needed.

to determine responsiveness. Shake gently. Call for help. 2-Place on firm surface and open the airway by using a head tilt/chin lift maneuver. 3-Place your ear over client’s mouth, and observe the chest for rising with respiration. Listen, look and feel for breathing for 3 to 5 seconds. 4-Pinch the client’s nostrils with thumb and index finger of hand holding the forehead. 5-Take a deep breath, and place your mouth around the client’s mouth with a tight seal and ventilation of two slow breaths. 6-If the victim is breathing but still unresponsive, turn on to side (recovery position). 7-If not breathing, assess the carotid pulse for 5 to 10 seconds on the side next to which you are kneeling. Maintain head tilt with the other hand. 8-If client is pulseless, start chest compressions. 9-With the hand nearest client legs, place middle and index fingers on lower ridge or near ribs, and move fingers up along ribs to the costalsternal notch(in the center of lower chest). 10-Place middle finger on this notch and the index finger next to the middle finger on the lower end of the notch. 11-Place heel of other hand along the lower half of the sternum, next to the index finger. 12-Remove first hand from the notch and place heel of that hand parallel over the hand on the chest. Interlock fingers, keeping them off client’s chest. 13-Press down on chest, depressing sternum 1.5 to 2 inches. Repeat in a smooth rhythm 100 times per minute. 14- Ventilate with 2 full breaths after every 30 chest compressions. 15-Reassess for carotid pulse. If client is pulseless, continue C.P.R. Reassess for carotid pulse every few minutes. Never interrupt C.P.R for longer than 10 seconds. 16. Second rescuer arrives, turn ON the AED`s power. 17. Attach the device to the patient by one pad is placed to the right of the upper portion of the sternum below the clavicle and the other pad is placed over the ribs below the left nipple with the center in the midaxillary line. 18. Stop CPR, clear everyone away from the patient, and initiate analysis of the rhythm. 19. Deliver the first shock, if the machine advices a shock 20. Check the patient`s pulse. If the patient has a pulse, check breathing. If the patient is breathing adequately, provide high-flow oxygen via a nonre- breather mask and transport the patient. If the patient has a pulse and is not breathing adequately, provide artificial ventilations / rescue breathing with high-flow oxygen and transport. If the patient does not have pulse, resume CPR for 2 minutes. At the direction of AED, deliver one more shock and reassess the pulse. If there is no pulse, consult medical direction as to whether to deliver a third shock on scene or en route. Total Total Marks:_____/
