How To Perform CPR In 5 Simple Steps -08174290703 by KompleteCare: 1:38pm On Apr 18 |
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR, is a potentially life-saving technique used in emergencies to revive individuals experiencing cardiac arrest. Knowing how to perform CPR correctly can significantly increase the chances of survival. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to perform CPR effectively: Step 1: Lay Them on Their Back The first step in performing CPR is to ensure the victim is lying on their back on a flat surface. If the person is lying face down, gently roll them onto their back while supporting their head and neck to avoid any further injury. Step 2: Check Their Breathing Once the victim is on their back, kneel beside them and check for any signs of normal breathing. Place your ear close to their mouth and nose, look for chest movements, and listen for breath sounds. If the person is not breathing or only gasping, it indicates a need for immediate CPR. Step 3: Place Your Hands on the Center of The Chest Position yourself beside the victim's chest and place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest, between the nipples. Keep your arms straight, and place your other hand on top of the first hand, interlocking your fingers. Step 4: Push Hard and Fast 30 Times With your hands in position, begin chest compressions by pressing down firmly on the chest at least two inches deep. Perform compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, allowing the chest to fully recoil between each compression. Count out loud or use the rhythm of the song "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees to maintain the correct pace. Step 5: Two Rescue Breaths After completing 30 chest compressions, open the victim's airway by tilting their head back and lifting their chin. Pinch their nose shut, create a seal over their mouth with your mouth, and deliver two rescue breaths, each lasting about one second. Watch for the chest to rise as you deliver the breaths. Continue alternating between chest compressions and rescue breaths in cycles of 30:2 until emergency medical services arrive or the victim shows signs of responsiveness. Remember, every moment counts in a cardiac arrest situation, so don't hesitate to act and provide assistance. In conclusion, learning how to perform CPR is a valuable skill that can save lives in emergencies. By following these five simple steps, you can confidently administer CPR and potentially make a life-saving difference.
