Cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR - for adult. child and infants

What is CPR- Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation is the last task performed by the medical team, doctors, or first aid provider at the incident site. For some reason when the heart and lungs do not work, in that situation, CPR only the way to revive the heart and lungs.

It is an act of delivering artificial breaths and compressing to the victim’s chest, so the heart can pump blood to the rest of the body and lungs working again. CPR helps to keep a person alive when it stops working his heart and lungs,  it is called cardiac arrest.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the method by which it is used to reorient the heart and lungs. So it delivers oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. It does not guarantee that the person will survive, but it gives the person an opportunity to live. 

 

When the heart stop working and there are no signs of life, you start CPR, maybe save a life. As early as you give CPR, many possibilities of the heart functioning again.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the act of delivering artificial breath and compression to the chest so that the heart can pump blood to the rest of the body.

When should I give CPR

If there is no life mark, CPR should be given.

No sign of life stopped breathing, coughing, and moving do CPR. once you have determined there are no sign of life remember CAB's

1. Circulation -the first step is to ensure adequate blood circulation to the body from the heart by giving chest Compression.
2. Airway - the second step is to open the airway by the head - tilt- chin- lift maneuver.
3. Breathing - check the breathing and give artificial breaths if necessary.

Other things you have to do immediately.

CPR is the life-saving first aid method and if the heartbeats stop, the chances of survival of the person increases. If no CPR is done, then due to lack of oxygen, the brain takes only three to four minutes to be dead.

The basic life supports (B.L.S) step :

D - Dangers,

R - Response,

S - Send for help,

A - Open Airway,

B - Normal Breathing,

C - Start CPR,

D - Attach defibrillator (AED).

How to give CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to adult

CPR procedure

Before giving CPR, it is necessary to confirm whether the victim is conscious or not. Is she breathing? or not.

To find out, tap the victim's shoulder and ask aloud that you are fine. If no reply is received, then decide on further accountability. For this, he spoke to someone nearby, call the ambulance.

Start the CPR proceedings by opening the victim's shirt. First of all

Locate the point on the breastbone between the nipples. This is the point where the chest is narrowed (this point is approximately between the two nipples).

Place the heel of one hand at this place (compression point), place the other hand on top of the first hand, then join the fingers of both hands, making sure that the shoulder is located above the breast and the hands are straight.

After this, give 30 chest compresses at the rate of 100 compressions/minute. (The chest should compress at least 2 inches on each push). Keep in mind, 30 compressions should be complete in 18 seconds.

When 30 compressions are complete in 18 seconds, open the airway by raising the victim's head slightly - tilt-chin-maneuver.

Tilt the head back with one hand and raise the chin up with the other hand. Raise the chin up, use two fingers to pull out the bulge of the chin. If you see anything in the mouth and can get it out, remove it. Then give two artificial breaths to the victim. While breathing, keep the head tilted backward and thereby raise the chin upwards. While giving ventilators, place a thin handkerchief or a clean cloth on the victim's mouth, and pinch the nose.

This procedure is to be repeated after two artificial breaths. That is 30 compressions and two breaths in 18 seconds. 

"WITHIN 2 MINUTE MUST BE GIVEN 5 CYCLE OF COMPRESSION  AND ARTIFICIAL BREATH, each cycle has 30 compressions and two breath have. or

Until the patient reaches the hospital. CPR - Important Steps to Save a Life.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to children

Before giving CPR to children from 1 year to 8, it is important to know whether the victim is conscious or not. If the victim is not breathing and there are no signs of being alive. The first thing to do is to call for an ambulance.

Then remove the child's shirt immediately, so that his chest is visible. After that start the process of giving CPR.

The first is to press the chest between the two nipples (approximately between the ribs).

The first is to press the chest between the two nipples (approximately between the ribs).

place the heel of one hand onto the compression point on the breastbone. place the other hand on top of the first hand. interlace the fingers of both hands. give 30 chest compression at the rate of 100 compression/minute. the chest compress at least 2 inches on the push. and 30 compressions at 18 seconds. than gave 2 breaths ( open the airways, if you see anything in the mouth remove it. if the child breathes then place in the recovery position.

" While giving CPR, pressure should not be put on the ribs. Pressure should be applied only to the breastbone. And should not press the stomach."

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to infant

Baby's Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

The first is to check the consciousness of the infants. This requires a pat on the baby's feet. If no response is received, call the ambulance. CPR is to be given immediately thereafter. For this, your index and middle fingers with one hand at the compression point between the baby's nipples. And with the other hand is to raise Baby's forehead.

Then 30 chest compressions from the index and middle fingers are given the rate of 100 compression/minute and 2 inches to push.

The Baby's forehead has to be lowered and the chin is to be raised, then 2 artificial breathing is to be done.

like this "WITHIN 2 MINUTE MUST BE GIVEN 5 CYCLE OF COMPRESSION  AND ARTIFICIAL BREATH, each cycle has 30 compressions and two breath have.

"The expert says that sometimes while giving CPR, the victim's ribs break. But even in that case, CPR should not be stopped, because the ribs will be added again but there is very little time to save the patient's life.

Sometimes while giving CPR, the person who gave CPR feels uncomfortable giving the artificial breath or does not want to breathe through the mouth. In this case, the only compression can be given. Or if the victim has any known disease like AIDS/tuberculosis, the only compression should be given."

Do not 

• do not put pressure on the ribs. keep your weight only on the breastbone,
• Do not compress the abdomen.

NOTE:

WITHIN 2 MINUTE MUST BE GIVEN 5 CYCLE OF COMPRESSION  AND ARTIFICIAL BREATH, each cycle have 30 compressions and two breath have 

150 CHEST COMPRESSION AND 10 BREATH IN 2 MINUTE
