Rapid and effective resuscitation saves lives! Using your middle and index fingers, find the lower rib edge nearest to you. Keep your fingers together and slide them upwards to the point where the ribs join the breastbone (sternum). This point is called the Xiphoid Process. With your middle finger on this point, place your index finger on the sternum itself. Once you have the correct location you need to compress the chest the appropriate depth depending on age of the casualty.

CPR may be done when a person stops breathing or the heart stops beating (like when a person has a heart attack). When it's possible that the person may recover, CPR is important. CPR is an option for a patient with an advanced life-threatening illness (like cancer) and who is dying. When the patient reaches the end of life, CPR may not be the option to choose. It's important for the patient, family members and doctor to talk about this issue before the need arises. What is involved in the procedure?

CPR can only buy time to apply advanced cardiac life support. Without advanced cardiac life support, CPR is useless. Three simple steps to CPR AIRWAY If possible, place victim flat on his or her back on a hard surface. However, the airway can still be cleared if the victim is sitting upright or floating in water. Open the victims' airway by tilting their head back with one hand while lifting up their chin with the other hand. If there is a chance of neck injury just lift up the chin. Tilting of the head in the presence of injury to the spine or the neck could result in further injury to the spinal column. BREATHING Put your cheek close to the victims' nose and mouth while looking at the victims' chest, to look, listen, and feel for breathing (10 seconds) If there is no breathing, pinch victim's nose closed and breath two full breaths into the victim's mouth. Each should last about 2 seconds.

return to self care index Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) CPR Techniques Early CPR is an important link in the chain of survival for a victim of sudden cardiac or respiratory arrest. CPR involves a combination of mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing (or other artificial ventilation techniques) and chest compressions. It keeps some oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until appropriate medical treatment can restore normal heart action. Cardiac arrest causes the victim to lose consciousness within seconds. If there is early access to the EMS system (Phone First! Phone Fast!), early CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced care, the person has a chance to survive. CPR techniques include three basic rescue skills, the ABCs of CPR: A irway, B reathing and C irculation. Airway - A key action for successful resuscitation is immediate opening of the airway by positioning the head properly. It is important to remember that the back of the tongue and the epiglottis are the most common causes of airway obstruction in the unconscious victim. Since the tongue, directly, and the epiglottis, indirectly, are attached to the lower jaw, tilting the head back and moving the lower jaw (chin) forward lifts the tongue and the epiglottis from the back of the throat and usually opens the airway. Breathing - When breathing stops, the body has only the oxygen remaining in the lungs and bloodstream. Therefore, when breathing stops, cardiac arrest and death quickly follow. Mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing is the quickest way to get oxygen into the victim's lungs. There is more than enough oxygen in the air you breathe into the victim to supply the victim's needs.

Without warning, one of your teammates suddenly crumples to the ground. You scream out his name, but there's no response. His face turns pale and bluish, and you can't see his chest rise and fall to breathe. You listen for a heartbeat, but you can't find a pulse at all. You quickly grab your cell phone and dial 911. Every year, this type of scenario is played out more than 600 times a day in the United States alone. Without rapid medical intervention, the prognosis is grim. Sudden cardiopulmonary arrest is the leading cause of death for all adults, male or female.

Abbr. CPR An emergency procedure, often employed after cardiac arrest, in which cardiac massage, artificial respiration, and drugs are used to maintain the circulation of oxygenated blood to the brain. Encyclopedia cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), emergency procedure used to treat victims of cardiac and respiratory arrest. CPR can be done in a hospital with drugs and special equipment or as a first-aid technique. In either case it is done with great urgency to avoid the brain damage or death that result from four to six minutes without oxygen. The first-aid procedure combines external heart massage (to keep the blood flowing through the body) with artificial respiration (to keep air flowing in and out of the lungs). The victim is placed face up and prepared for artificial respiration . The person administering CPR places his or her hands (one on top of the other, with fingers interlocked) heel down on the victim's breastbone, leans forward, and makes 15 quick, rhythmical compressions (at a rate of about one per second) of about 2 in. (5 cm). This is followed by two breaths, administered using the mouth-to-mouth method of artificial respiration. CPR for infants and children differs in the ratio of compressions to breaths, and the compression of the chest is only 1 to 1.5 in. (2.5 to 3.8 cm). Ideally the procedure is done by two people, one to give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration and one to apply external heart massage, and special training is recommended.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is administered when someone's breathing or pulse stops. If both have stopped, then sudden death has occurred. While some of the causes of sudden death include poisoning, drowning, choking, suffocation, electrocution, or smoke inhalation, the most common cause is from heart attack. What are the symptoms of a heart attack?

Need help with PDF files? Emergency life support Published by BUPA's Health Information Team August 2003 Giving emergency life support to a person who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped can enable them to survive until professional help arrives. It can make the difference between life and death. Most people can learn basic lifesaving skills, including cardiopulmonary rescucitation (CPR), at a local training centre. Lifesaving skills can be learned for free in just two hours. What happens A person’s heart or breathing can stop as a result of a heart attack (cardiac arrest), drowning, electric shock or other injury. As a result, the organs do not receive a supply of oxygen-rich blood and begin to die. The brain is particularly vulnerable and can be damaged by just a few minutes without an adequate supply of blood. Cardiopulmonary rescusitation (CPR) consists of giving rescue breaths (mouth-to-mouth breathing) and chest compressions. In some cases this can restart the heart and breathing. More commonly, such as after a heart attack, CPR circulates sufficient blood to lengthen the time before organ damage occurs. These precious minutes can be sufficient to allow for paramedics or doctors to arrive. The drugs and specialist equipment that they are trained to use will then have a much better chance of helping the casualty to survive.

Index Illustration Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) What is CPR? CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Cardio refers to the heart. Pulmonary refers to the lungs. CPR is a way to give oxygen and keep the heart pumping when it has stopped beating. It is an emergency procedure that can save the life of someone whose heart has stopped beating and who is not breathing. When is it used? Almost 75% of cardiac arrests occur in the home. When someone has a cardiac arrest, the heart stops beating. When this happens, someone should call 911 and then the victim should be given CPR until he or she starts breathing or emergency medical help arrives. If CPR is not done, the person can have brain damage or die in 5 to 10 minutes. What happens during CPR?
