CPR IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS
(Please try to attend a
CPR training course)
|
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 2 seconds. |
 |
3. PUMP
If the
victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest
compressions. Push down on
the chest 1-1/2 to 2 inches 15 times right between the nipples. Pump
at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second. |
 |
|
CONTINUE WITH 2
BREATHS AND 15 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.
