 WHAT IS CPR?

• IT IS THE LIFESAVING TECHNIQUE USEFUL IN EMERGENCIES WHERE A PERSON’S

BREATHING OR HEARTBEAT HAVE STOPPED.
• IT INVOLVES CHEST COMPRESSION AND MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESCUE
BREATHING, THIS PROCESS KEEPS OXYGENATED BLOOD CIRCULATING TO THE
BRAIN AND OTHER VITAL ORGANS UNTIL THE HEART CAN RETURN TO ITS
NATURAL RHYTHM.
 BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• ASSESS THE SITUATION

• IS THE PERSON CONSCIOUS OR UNCONSCIOUS!
• IF THEY ARE CONSCIOUS ASK THEM IF THEY ARE OKAY.
• IF THEY DO NOT RESPOND HAVE SOMEONE ELSE CALL 911, OR IF YOU ARE ALONE
AND HAVE A PHONE, CALL 911 BY YOURSELF BEFORE BEGINNING CPR.
 REMEMBER YOUR ABC’S

• AIRWAY: CLEAR THE AIRWAY

• BREATHING: BREATHE FOR THE PERSON

• CIRCULATION: RESTORE BLOOD CIRCULATION WITH

CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
 AIRWAY

• PUT THE PERSON ON THEIR BACK

• KNEEL NEXT TO THEIR NECK AND SHOULDERS.
• OPEN THE PERSON’S AIRWAY BY PUTTING YOUR PALM ON THEIR FOREHEAD AND
GENTLY TILTING THEIR HEAD BACK.
• THEN GENTLY LIFT THEIR CHIN FORWARD TO OPEN THEIR AIRWAY.
• LOOK FOR CHEST MOVEMENT, AND LISTEN FOR BREATH SOUNDS.
• IF THE PERSON IS NOT BREATHING, BEGIN MOUTH-TO-MOUTH WITH CHEST
COMPRESSIONS .
 BREATHING

• CAN BE PERFORMED MOUTH-TO-MOUTH OR

MOUTH-TO-NOSE IF MOUTH IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• WITH THE AIR WAY OPEN, PINCH THE NOSTRILS SHUT,
THEN COVER THE VICTIM’S MOUTH WITH YOUR MOUTH,
MAKING A GOOD SEAL.
 CIRCULATION

• POSITION YOUR BODY DIRECTLY OVER YOUR HANDS.

• GIVE 15 FAST CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
• GIVE THE PERSON 2 SLOW BREATHS WATCHING TO MAKE SURE THE CHEST RISES.
• REPEAT CHEST COMPRESSIONS AND BREATHS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES.
