how do you GIVE CPR on any living thing?

Answer 1

That depends on what the "living thing" is. Go to the AHA and find a class near you.

Answer 2

I'm not sure how to do it on all living things, but I know how to do CPR on a person, anyway. First, you need to determine if the person needs CPR. You do that by first listening to see if they are breathing or not and if they have a pulse or not- the neck is the best place to check for a pulse on an adult. If they have no pulse and are not breathing, you need to open the airway first. Yo do this by putting your hand on the back of their neck and lifting their head up from there. you then need to get the mouth open and then give 2 breaths after sealing your mouth completely over the victim's and pinching their nose shut. then give the 2 breaths. Then check to see if the victim is getting air by looking to see if the chest is rising and falling with the breaths you are giving them. If they come back alive after the initial 2 rescue breaths, then fine. If they don't, you will have to begin compressions. Do this by locking the fingers of your hands together and keeping your arms rigid and then place your hands basically on the sternum pretty much on an imaginary line between the nipples. Once you have the correct hand position, press down hard about 1.5 inches to 2 inches for adults. continue the cycle of 15:2 ( 15 compressions then 2 breaths) for 4 cycles (approx. 1 minute) and then check for breathing and a pulse. Continue the cycle for as long as is necessary until someone else takes over or until EMS arrives. An important part of this is to send someone to call 911 before you begin CPR. If you know a victim needs CPR, always have someone call 911 before beginning anything. That way the paramedics can get there quicker and the person will have a better chance of survival.

Answer 3

basically, CPR is breathing and circulating blood for a person or living creature that isn't conscious. you check for a pulse (not sure where to do that for an animal), then give two breaths (make sure they go in by watching the chest), then start compressions. place one hand over the other just above the xiphoid process(where the sternum starts) then the cycle is 2 breaths to 30 compressions.
if you are serious about learning CPR you should look into your local Red Cross and see if they have a basic life support class.

Answer 4

I know you mean well, but you don't perform CPR on a living thing. Doing so can potentially injure it. I'd recommend contacting your local Red cross because CPR hands, compression and breathing ratios vary on the age of the the thing.

Answer 5

You don't do CPR on living things...you do it on dead things...there you have learned the first part of CPR. Next go to the Americal Heart Association website and sign up for a CPR class.

Answer 6

First of all, if you had bothered to check into exactly what CPR is, you would see that it is NEVER administered on ANY living thing. CPR is given when there is no pulse and no breathing (technically dead).

Answer 7

Answer 8

Head over to the American Red Cross website for that information.

Answer 9

Put them on their back, make sure their airways is clear of food or anything, then compress on their chest 15 times and blow into their mouth/airway twice. Repeat until help arrives.

Answer 10

It varies greatly according to what kind of living thing it is. There's no general directions that will work on every creature.
