CPR Method

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ) is an emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest or, in some circumstances, respiratory arrest.CPR is not only performed in hospitals, or in the community by laypersons or by emergency response professionals. It's important for every person to Learn how to do CPR .


Here's some CPR steps which easily learned .

Standard CPR for adult

1. CALL
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.

2. BLOW
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 1 second.

3. PUMP
If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.

CONTINUE WITH 2 BREATHS AND 30 PUMPS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES
NOTE: This ratio is the same for one-person & two-person CPR. In two-person CPR the person pumping the chest stops while the other gives mouth-to-mouth breathing.



Standard CPR for children

CPR for children is similar CPR for adults. The compression to ventilation ratio is 30:2.
Here's the steps :

1. If you are alone with the child give two minutes of CPR before calling 911
2. Use the heel of one or two hands for chest compression
3. Press the sternum approximately one-third the depth of the chest
