3. WHAT IS CPR?

4. CARDIO = HEART PULMONARY = LUNGS RESUSCITATE = REVIVE Cardio pulmonary resuscitation: reviving the heart and lungs

5. INTRODUCTION CPR is a life saving technique useful in many emergencies in which someone breathing or heart beat has stopped. CPR is a technique of basic life support for oxygenating the brain and heart until appropriate, definitive medical treatment (Advance Cardiac Life Support: ACLS) can restore normal heart and ventilatory action.

6. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest. In CPR, chest compressions and pulmonary ventilation are performed by ANYONE who knows how to do it, ANYWHERE , IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT .

7. WHY IS IT DONE?

8. PURPOSE: ABC of CPR A: Airway To maintain an open and clear airway B: Breathing To maintain breathing by external ventilation C: Circulation To maintain blood circulation by external cardiac message To save life of the patient To provide basic life support till medical and advanced life support arrives

9. WHEN TO PERFORM CPR? Cardiac arrest Respiratory arrest Accident Drowning Stroke Foreign body in throat Smoke inhalation Suffocation

10. PRINCIPLES OF CPR To restore effective circulation and ventilation. To prevent irreversible cerebral damage due to anoxia. When the heart fails to maintain the cerebral circulation for approximately 3-4 minutes the brain may suffer irreversible damage

11. HOW IS IT DONE?

12. Steps of CPR: DR’S ABC D: DANGER. Approach safely R: RESPONSE . Check responses S: SHOUT for help A: AIRWAY. Open airway B: BREATHING. Check breathing Call 911 (local emergency number) C: CIRCULATION. 30 chest compressions AND 2 rescue breaths

13. DANGER: APPROACH SAFELY Watch: Ensure there are no dangers to yourself, other bystanders or the casualty. Observe

14. CHECK RESPONSE Shake shoulders gently Ask “Are you all right?”

15. OPEN AIRWAY Head tilt and chin lift + JAW THRUST While pushing back on the forehead, use your other hand to lift the chin forward.

16. CHECK BREATHING Look, listen and feel for normal breathing

17. CHEST COMPRESSIONS Place the heel of one hand in the center of the chest. Place other hand on top. Interlock fingers. Compress the chest 100/minute Depth 4-5 cm Equal compression and relaxation When possible change CPR operater every 2 minutes

18. RESCUE BREATHS Pinch the nose Take a normal breath Place lips over mouth Blow until the chest rises Take about 1 second Allow chest to fall Repeat
