cpr or rescusitation?

Question

how do you perform resusitation or cpr

Answer 1

3 Steps. Your first step is to open an air passage. Tilt the head and lift up on the chin to remove the tongue from the back of the throat. Once you’ve called for help, go back to the victim and begin your ABC's. A is airway. B is breathing. And C is circulation.



A is airway. Open the airway using the head tilt, chin lift. Pushing down on the head and lifting up on the chin removes the tongue from the back of the throat. The tongue is the most common airway obstruction in an unconscious person. If the person is going to breathe on his own, it should happen as soon as you clear the airway. If you do not hear, see or feel any breathing, you must give two breaths. Look, listen and feel for even a faint indication that your victim is drawing breath. If not, remember that everyone gets two breaths initially.


B is breathing. Everyone gets two breaths initially. We assess the response by looking to see if the chest rises and falls, putting our face close to the victim’s so that we can hear and feel him breathing. If you do not hear or feel any breathing, give the victim two breaths. Pinch the person’s nose and put your lips over the other person's lips and blow until you see the chest rise. If you have a protective device, use it. Watch out of the corner of your eye to be sure you blow just enough to see the chest rise. Find the carotid artery to the side of the Adam’s Apple area and feel for five or 10 seconds. If there is no pulse, begin chest compressions.


Once both breaths go in, it is time to move to C - circulation. Check the pulse at the carotid artery in the neck, which is easily found by locating the Adam's Apple and sliding your fingers just to the side.


Feel around in this area. If there is no thumping under your fingers in a three-second time span, begin chest compressions. Start by finding the proper placement for your hands. Locate the base of the sternum, the spot where all the ribs come together in the center of the chest.


Place two fingers on that point. Put the heel of the other hand beside those two fingers. Interlace your fingers, lock your elbows and compress the victim’s chest, using your body weight, to the necessary depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Or remember this, two hands, two inches. (This is different with small children as you can break their ribs if not done differently)


Count aloud as you compress 15 times and follow by giving the victim two breaths. That's Cycle Number 1. Repeat for a total of four cycles – about one minute in elapsed time.

Answer 2

My CPR teacher always told us to do compressions to the rhythm of Another One Bites The Dust by Queen. So, about that speed. You should be able to say a quick 'and' before every number up to 20, if you're counting aloud: "one-and-two-and-three-and"... and so on.

Answer 3

Check w/ Red Cross and sign up for CPR! I just got certified. It was a 4 hour class.

Answer 4

If you Google CPR simulator or free CPR training you will get a lot of hits that will describe the steps.

Understand, however, that seeing it or hearing it is not the same as practicing it.

Answer 5

We could tell you and draw a diagram on how to. But your best bet is go to the Red Cross and take a cpr course... You wont regret it.. Good luck..... Grant M from Pennsylvania

If you are serious about learning the methods then you should go to classes.

CPR is easy to do but you do need to be shown/trained in the proper practices
