CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION

• DEFINITION:

• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the basic

lifesaving skill, is a procedure to support and
maintain breathing circulation for a person who
has stopped breathing (respiratory arrest) and/or
whose heart has stopped (cardiac arrest) by
providing a combination of external cardiac
compression and artificial respiration.
 PURPOSES OF PERFORMING CPR
1.Keep the lungs supplied with oxygen
2.Maintain blood circulation so as to supply the
brain, heart and other vital organs with
oxygen.
When will you do CPR?

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Brain cells begin to die after

4-6 minutes without oxygen.

AHA(2015)
• The new rate of chest compressions is 100 to 120 compressions, or pushes,
per minute, compared to “at least 100” in previous guidelines, according to
the American Heart Association.

• For adolescents and adults, a rescuer should push down at least 2 inches, but
no more than 2.4 inches on the chest, compared to at least 2 inches in
previous guidelines.

• The compressions surpassed 120 per minute, rescuers didn’t push as hard on
the chest, decreasing blood circulation.  At 100 to 119 per minute, only 35
percent of compressions didn’t go deep enough

• “Compressing more than 120 times per minute is pretty difficult and most
people will naturally compress 100 to 110 times per minute,”
CHECK AREA Survey the scene.
See if the scene is safe to do CPR.
SAFETY. Get an idea of what happened.

CHECK UNRESPONSIVENESS.
Tap or gently shake the victim
Rescuer shouts “Are you OK?”
Quick check for normal breathing
If the victim is unconscious,
rescuer calls for help.

Rescuer ACTIVATES the

CALL FOR HELP: EMERGENCY MEDICAL

Chest Compressions Place the
heel of one
hand on the
sternum in
the center of
the chest
between the
nipples and
then place
the heel of
the second
hand on top
of the first so
that the
hands are
overlapped
and parallel.
Give Chest Compressions at 100-120 per minute
Compress breastbone at least 2 inches deep
Compress at a rate of 100 per minute or more
Compress 30 times initially
Allow the chest to return to its normal position
 PULSE CHECK
• RECHECK PULSE EVERY 2 MINUTES (equivalent to 5
cycles CPR)
• Very brief pulse check – should take less than 10 seconds
(at the same time check for normal breathing)
• In case there is any doubt about the presence or absence
of pulse, CONTINUE CHEST COMPRESSIONS
• For trained healthcare providers only
 If the victim is breathing

THE RECOVERY POSITION

Maintain open airway & position the victim

 The unresponsive victim with spontaneous respirations

should be placed in the recovery position if no cervical
trauma is suspected.
 Placement in this position consists of rolling the victim
onto his or her side to help protect the airway.
