This depends on what the circumstance is if he/she is choking on water you sould use two hands (while he/she is standing) and squease that should push the water out, when the water is out and he/she is still not breathing preform mouth - to mouth, to do this you must use two fingers to hold his nose (make sure he/she is laided flat) put your mouth fully around his/hers mouth (make sure his/hers mouth is open) then blow air after each blow remove your mouth, breeth, then repeat, do this 10 times if this dose not work you can try heart resuscitation in one hand hold a fist with your thumb on the outside of you hand then place at centre of chest in line of heart then with you other hand push your fist do this in time with a second, push then wait a second then push again you can do this many times but i would do this 15 times, once he/she is breathing stop then help him/her to their feet so when they breeth the air flows straight through the mouth to the lungs.
Yes, you don't always need shock. But it isn't like ER or Casualty or any telly programme - people always recover on telly. They often don't in real life, and CPR is fierce - ribs get broken and people can be bruised black and blue.
No, CPR isn't performed any differently if patient has a defibrillator.
defibrillator
Every time they use it on someone
If someone is clinically dead, a defibrillator will actually do absolutely nothing. What is does do is shock an irregular heart beat back into sinus rhythm (a normal beat) that would otherwise lead to death.
The nurse tried to resuscitate the drowning girl.
I must resuscitate the patient or else the patient will die.
Firemen are trained to resuscitate victims of smoke inhalation.
No, because a defibrillator has no processor in it. All that a defibrillator does is run electricity through your heart to get it started. Now the machines that monitor your heart, they have processors, but not a defibrillator.
An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a Medical Device That Can Save Someone's Life.

A do not resuscitate is decided by a person who believes or knows they are in poor health. If this person is to stop breathing, it is their wish that they be left to pass.
