CHECKLIST ON CPR
(CARDIO PULMONARY RESUSCITATION)
Action
1. Assess for DANGER
2. Check RESPONSIVENESS by:
Tap or shake her/his shoulder and
ask “ARE YOU OKAY”?
3. Point to one person to call for help
and ACTIVATE Emergency
Management System (EMS)-#999
CIRCULATION:
4. Put the person on his /her back on
a flat and firm surface.  assessment of the cardiac massage.
(Use caution when positioning the
casualty with possible of head or
neck injury).
5. Kneel next to the person's neck
and shoulders.
6. Palpate the carotid pulse. (no
longer that 10 seconds).  pulse could result in injury.
*If absent, begin chest compression.
* If present, continue rescue
breathing and check pulse every 2
minutes.
7. Place the heel of one hand over the
center of the person's chest, between
Rationale Remarks
Ensure there are no dangers and risk to
yourself, other bystanders or the
casualty.
It is important to differentiate an
unconscious individual from someone
who is intoxicated, hypoglycemic,
sleeping or in shock, It is important to
touch the casualty in case they having
hearing impairment.
To signify there is an emergency
situation and need for help.
Restore blood circulation with chest
compressions.
Proper positioning facilitates
Care must be taken in positioning
person with potential head and neck
injury to prevent further damage.
Proper positioning prevents rescuer
fatigue and facilitates CPR by
allowing the rescuer to move from
chest compression to artificial
breathing with minimal movement.
Performing chest compression with a
Additionally, the carotid pulse may
persist when peripheral pulses are no
longer palpable.
Allows for maximum compression of
the heart between the sternum and
the two nipples, Place other hand on
top of the first hand. Keep elbows
straight and position shoulders
directly above your hands.
AIRWAY:
8. Use upper body weight (not just
arms) as push straight down on
(compress) the chest at least 2 inches
(approximately 5 centimeters).
Give 30 chest compression.
Ensure to release fully after each
compression.
9. Open the AIRWAY using "head
tilt, chin lift" method.
Put palm on the person's forehead
and gently tilt the head back. Then
with the other hand, gently lift the
chin forward to open the airway.
10. Check for foreign body in the
mouth, remove out if you able to do
it.
BREATHING:
11. Check breathing:
LOOK for chest movement.
LISTEN for normal breath sounds.
FEEL for person's breath on your
cheek.
(No longer than 5 to 10 seconds)
12. With the airway open (using the
head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver), pinch
the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth
breathing and cover the person's
mouth with yours, making a seal.
13. Give two rescue breathing and
watch to see the chest rises. (each
breath is given over 1 second)
vertebrae.
Clear the airway.
Provide maximum blood circulation to
coronary arteries and brain because
brain and tissue damage can occur if
the person hypoxic for longer than 4-6
minutes.
Incomplete chest recoil is associated
with decreased coronary and cerebral
perfusion.
Preventing the tongue from
obstructing the airway because a
patent airway is essential for
successful artificial respirations.
Prevent from potential of obstructing
the airway.
Breathe for the person.
Hypoxia can cause irreversible brain
and tissue damage after 4-6 minutes.
Occluding the nostrils and forming
seal over the person's mouth will
prevent air leakage and provide full
inflation of the lungs.
14. If chest does not rise, reposition
the head and repeat the breaths.
15. Resume chest compressions to
restore circulation and rescue
breathing. (count as 2nd cycle).
16. Continue the cycle of 30 chest
compressions to 2 rescue breaths
until there are signs of movement or
help arrive.
17. Put the person in recovery
position if the pulse and breath is
exist and there is a movement. Stay
with her/him till medical team arrive.
(do not perform this for person with
neck injury)
30 chest compressions followed by 2
rescue breaths is considered 1 cycle.
Provide maximum blood circulation to
coronary arteries and brain.
Gives gravity assistance to the
clearance of physical obstruction of
the airway by the tongue, and also
gives a clear route by which fluid can
drain from the airway.
