CPR Facts•Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the U.S. •330,000 Americans die yearly•50% of these will die before they get to the

hospital

3


CPR Facts

•The most common cause of death from a heart attack in adults is ventricular fibrillation.

•Ventricular fibrillation:

• A disturbance in the electrical rhythm of the heart • Can be treated with defibrillation (applying an

electrical shock to the chest)• If a defibrillator is not readily available, brain

death will occur in less than 10 minutes.

4


CPR Facts• During cardiac arrest, the heart stops pumping

blood. • CPR is one way of buying time until normal heart

function is restored or a defibrillator becomes available.

• CPR provides artificial breathing and circulation, keeping oxygenated blood flowing to the heart and brain.

• The earlier you give CPR, the greater the chance of success.

• CPR is a combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions.

5


When to Give CPR•Someone is not breathing and has no

pulse•If someone is not breathing, but has a

pulse, perform rescue breathing.

6


How to Determine When to Give CPR•Check the ABCs:

▫Airway▫Breathing▫Circulation

7


A is for Airway•Check their mouth or throat for blockage•Sweep the inside of the mouth with your

fingers, if necessary

8


B is for Breathing•Put your ear to the mouth and nose.•Listen to see if they are breathing.•Observe if the chest is rising.•Feel for breaths on your cheek.

9


C is for Circulation•Feel for a pulse

▫Put your fingers on the side of the neck or on the top of the underside of the wrist

▫Do NOT use your thumb. Your own pulse may be felt, and this could lead to confusion.

10


Rescue Breathing•Perform if a person has a pulse but is

NOT breathing•Make sure they are lying on their back

11


Rescue Breathing•Tilt the head back

▫Lift the chin with one hand▫Press the forehead back with the other

•Close the airway through the nose by pinching it.

12


Rescue Breathing•Give 1 breath every 5 seconds•Take a normal breath•Cover the victim’s mouth with yours to

create an airtight seal•Watch for the chest to rise as you give

each breath

13


CPR Procedure•If a person’s airway is clear but they are

NOT breathing and do NOT have a pulse•CPR involves giving compressions which

pump blood to the brain and heart.

14


CPR ProcedureTo give compressions:• Put the heel of one hand on the center of the

chest between the nipples• Put the other hand on top of the first hand• Push hard and push fast• Push at a rate of 100 times a minute• After each compression, release pressure on the

chest to let it come back to its normal position.• Keep your elbows locked so you do not get tired

quickly.

15


CPR Procedure•Give 2 breaths, 1 second each•Give 30 compressions at a rate of 100 per

minute and then give 2 breaths. •Remember to release pressure after every

compression•Keep giving sets of 30 to 2 until:

▫The automated external defibrillator (AED) arrives

▫Victim starts to move or▫Trained help arrives

16


Remember!•Before you begin:

▫Confirm that the area is secure▫Notify (or have someone notify) medical

personnel about the situation•CPR is best done with 2 people.

▫One person doing the breathing▫One person doing the compressions.
