Is there any point performing CPR on a gunshot victim?
# How large is the wound? # What type of damage has the gunshot caused? # Is there any arterial bleeding or veinous only? # How long ago was the victim shot? # How much blood has the victim already lost? # Can the bleeding be controlled? All these questions would provide different scenarios as to whether or not the victim has any chance at all of surviving the gunshot. In most cases if the victim has been shot and there is arterial damage the victim will bleed out in too short a time to allow for any resuscitation. However, if the bleeding can be controlled then it might be possible to save them. If this information cannot be determined then it is always better to ere on the side of caution and attempt CPR. If the victim is dead you aren't going to hurt them by performing CPR, however, if they stand a chance at survival CPR might be the one crucial piece in giving them enough time to get to the hospital where they can receive professional medical attention. ---- As a First responder, it is not your decision to decide whether to do CPR or not - if the patient is not breathing and has no pulse the first aider will perform CPR regardless of the injuries, (give the patient the benifit of the doubt, give them a chance of living)!
How does CPR maintain cellular respiration?
CPR maintains cellular respiration the same as in normal breathing and pulse rate. CPR is mechanically breathing and circulating the blood for the victim.
