CardioPulmonaryResuscitation(CPR) Matthew Giannetti Grades 9-12
Basic Overview • Emergency procedure that is performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person in cardiac arrest.
How to Administer CPR • C-C-C • A-B-C • Rescue Breaths • Chest Compressions • AED • Recovery Position
C-C-C • CHECK • Check the scene, victim and surroundings for safety first • CALL • Call 9-1-1 immediately! • CARE • A-B-C…
A-B-C • Airway • Breathing • Circulation
Airway • To ensure the airway is open the rescuer must: • Tilt the head back • Lift chin • Open victim’s mouth • Check for blockage (do not finger sweep unless object is visible)
Breathing • Check to see if the victim is breathing by: • Placing their ear over the victims mouth • Listen for breaths • Feel for breath against ear lobe • Look at victim’s chest • Watch for rise and fall of chest • The rescuer does this for 10 seconds
Circulation • Check the victim’s circulation by: • Taking the victim’s pulsefrom • Carotid artery • Radial artery • Femoral artery Pulse No Pulse
Rescue Breaths • If victim is not breathing, administer 2 rescue breaths • If the breaths DO NOT go in • Reposition the head (head tilt, chin lift) • Give 2 breaths again • If they do not go in again begin chest compressions • If the breaths DO go in • Continue rescue breathing at a rate of 1 breath every 5 seconds until help arrives
Chest Compressions • If victim does not have a pulse start chest compressions immediately! • Find the nipple line with middle finger • Drag finger across to sternum • Place palm of hand on sternum • Place other hand on top of the first and interlock fingers • Lock arms and use body weight to push down
Chest Compressions • Compress the chest 1.5-2 inches • The sternum should crack if done correctly • During CPR give 2 breaths for every 30 chest compressions. • Continue for 5 cycles then reevaluate victim or until further help arrives • CPR should be exhausting!
Tools Used During CPR • AED • Pocket Mask • Bag Valve • Oxygen
AED • Automated External Defibrillator • Used when victim has an irregular heart beat • Electrode pads are placed on the upper right and lower left sides of the chest
Pocket Mask • Pocket masks are used by the rescuer to administer CPR • Uses a one way valve for rescue breathing • Prevents any fluids that the victim may regurgitate from entering the rescuer’s mouth
Bag Valve • The bag valve is used to give breaths of more oxygenated air to the victim • The bag valve is used with the pocket mask • Oxygen can be connected
Oxygen • Oxygen can be connected to the bag valve to provide more oxygenated breaths during CPR • After victim is resuscitated oxygen is provide trough a mask for recovery
Recovery Position • Keeps the victims airway open • Keeps airway from being blocked for an unconscious victim • Prevents suffocation through obstruction of the airway 1. 2. 3.
Practice! • Find a group of 3 • Your group will be given a scenario card • Walk through the scenario with each other • Perform all roles: • First responder • Second responder • Victim
CPR Certification • There are both classroom courses and online courses to become certified • There is a fee however having lifesaving knowledge is invaluable
