The document provides instructions for performing CPR on adults, infants, and children. For adults, the steps are to check breathing, call 911, perform 30 chest compressions at 100/min, give 2 breaths, and repeat until help arrives. For infants, the steps are to tap their shoulder, give 30 gentle chest compressions at 100/min using 2-3 fingers, clear the airway, and give 2 gentle breaths. For children, the steps are to use the heel of one or two hands for 30 chest compressions at 100/min, clear the airway, and give 2 breaths until help arrives.
2. CPR ON ADULTS
When performing CPR to an adult, the first step is to check whether the
victim is not breathing at all or breathing normally. Next, you should call
911 and return to the victim. Secondly, if the victim is still unresponsive,
beging chest compressions. The correct way to perform chest compressions
is to push down in the center of the chest 2 inches 30 times. Pump hard
and fast at the rate of at least 100/minute, faster than once per second.
Next, tilt the head back and lift the chin. Pinch nose and cover the mouth
with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. After, give 2 breaths which
should take a second each. Lastly, continue with 30 pumps and 2 breaths
until help arrives.
3. CPR ON INFANTS
To perform CPR on an infant the first step is to shout and gently tap the
child on the shoulder. If there is no response and the child isn't breathing at
all or breathing normally, position the infant on his or her back and begin
CPR. The second step is to give 30 gentle compressions at the rate of at
least 100 per minute. It is best to use two or three fingers in the center of
the chest just below the nipples. Next, press down approximately 1 and a
half inches depth of the chest. The third step is to open the child's airway
by using a head tilt lifting of chin. Do NOT tilt the head too far back! Lastly,
if the baby still is not breathing or not breathing normally, cover the baby's
mouth and nose with your mouth and give 2 gentle breaths. Each breath
should be one second long. The baby's chest should rise with each breath.
4. CPR ON CHILDREN
The first step is to use the heel of one or two hands for chest compressions.
Secondly, press the sternum approximately 2 inches depth of the chest at
the rate of least 100/minute. The next step is to 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 and give 2 breaths
which will last one second each. Lastly, continue with 30 pumps and 2
breaths until help arrives.
5. Here's advice from the American Heart Association:
If you're not trained in CPR, then provide hands-only CPR. That means
uninterrupted chest compressions of about 100 a minute until paramedics
arrive (described in more detail below). You don't need to try rescue
breathing.
If you're well trained and confident in your ability, begin with chest
compressions instead of first checking the airway and doing rescue
breathing. Start CPR with 30 chest compressions before checking the
airway and giving rescue breaths.
If you've previously received CPR training but you're not confident in your
abilities, then just do chest compressions at a rate of about 100 a minute.
