Chest Compressions

Chest compression is the act of applying pressure to someone's chest in order to help blood flow through the heart in an emergency situation.

● Effective chest compressions in an adult should depress the sternum by 1.5–2 in (4–5 cm).
● In a child or infant, the sternum should be depressed by the rescuer to a depth of about 1/2 to 1/3 the depth of the chest.

CONTROL OF BLEEDING

Control blood flow

● If the area is covered, remove or cut the cloth to expose the wound. Cover the wound with a sterile dressing or clean cotton. Press the
wound firmly for 10 minutes or more, until the bleeding stops. Wear disposable gloves, if available. If you think the part injured is also
fractured, be extra cautious.

Lay the victim down

● Keep the injured part raised and if the bleeding doesn’t stop, lay the victim on a firm surface. Loosen any tight or restrictive clothing.

Ask for ambulance

● You can ask someone else or call the ambulance yourself.

Secure the dressing

● Bandage the wound firmly and not too tightly. If the bleeding still doesn’t stop and the blood seeps through.

Monitor the victim

● If the bleeding is severe, watch closely for any sign of shock. Watch the pulse rate and level of consciousness every 10 minutes until the
help arrive.
