  1. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(CPR) By: Kierah Matthews

  2. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consists of mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression. CPR allows oxygenated blood to circulate to vital organs such as the brain and heart. CPR can keep a person alive until more advanced procedures (such as defibrillation - an electric shock to the chest) can treat the cardiac arrest. CPR started by a bystander doubles the likelihood of survival for victims of cardiac arrest.

  3. CPR FOR ADULTS

  4. Unresponsiveness • Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, Call 911 and return to the victim. In most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist you with CPR instructions.

  5. Breathing • Tilt the head back and listen for breathing.  If not breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths.  Each breath should take 2 seconds.

  6. Breathing Push , Compress, 2 Breaths.

  7. CPR! Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation!!

  8. Push • If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 15 times right between the nipples.  Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.

  9. CPR FOR CHILDREN 1-8

  10. Quick CPR • CPR for children is similar to performing Quick CPR for adults. There are, however, 4 differences.

  11. 4 Differences • 1) If you are alone with the child give one minute of CPR before calling 911 • 2) Use the heel of one hand for chest compressions • 3) Press the sternum down 1 to 1.5 inches • 4) Give 1 full breath followed by 5 chest compressions

  12. CPR FOR INFANTS <1

  13. Procedure • Shout and gently tap the child on the shoulder. If there is no response, position the infant on his or her back • Open the airway using a head tilt lifting of chin. Do not tilt the head too far back. • If the baby is NOT breathing give 2 small gentle breaths. Cover the baby's mouth and nose with your mouth. Each breath should be 1.5 to 2 seconds long. You should see the baby's chest rise with each breath. • Give five gentle chest compressions at the rate of 100 per minute. Position your 3rd and 4th fingers in the center of the chest half an inch below the nipples. Press down only 1/2 to 1 inches. • Repeat with 1 breath and 5 compressions. After one minute of repeated cycles call 911 and continue giving breaths and compressions.
