If an infant is choking and unconscious and you are alone what should you do first?

If an adult becomes unresponsive while choking: # Unresponsive is assumed meaning unconscious # Call 911 or local emergency number (have someone else call if available) # Tip head & check for signs of life # If no signs of life, give 2 breaths # If breaths do not go in, reposition head further back # If breaths still do not go in give 30 compressions # Look for object in mouth; if object seen sweep out # Give 2 breaths # If breaths do not go in, give 30 compressions # Look for object in mouth; if object seen sweep out # Give 2 breaths # Repeat sequence compressions, look & sweep if object seen, breaths until breaths go in # When breaths go in check for signs of life for 10 seconds maximum # Give CPR if no signs of life (30 compressions, 2 breaths)


Can a cna perform CPR on a full code?

Yes a CNA can perform CPR on a full code. A number of things will dictate who will do compressions & who will do breaths. The first on the scene will start CPR. On arrival, usually the RT will do the breaths (bag) and a man (if a woman started CPR) will do (take over) the compressions, especially if it is a large person. Different places may have different protocols on who does what on a code so check where you are working on what the protocols are.


Why is bad CPR good?

Not following the CPR procedure correctly could cause serious damage, even death. If it is not exactly the number of compressions and breaths recommended, it would be better than doing nothing at all. However, if the breaths are too forceful, it could cause serious damage in an infant and even in an adult; or the depth of compressions are too deep it could again causeserious damage or even death. Generally speaking, bad or incorrect CPR is NOT good.

What is the CPR process?

Firstly you roll the person over to there side and tilt there head up (so if they vomit or coff up any fluid they wont choke or swallow it).gentaly shake them to see if they react, talk to them and ask them who they are. If no responce continue.Cheek if they are breathing by watching or feeling there chest rise, and or hold you hand up to there mouth or nose and feel id they are breathing.with two fingers or so remove any objects from there mouth such as teeth or whateverother things in there may be.if still no repsonce continue with CPR.pinch there nostrels shut and blow two normal sized breaths into ther mouth. Cheek if the chest rises between breaths. After the two breaths and nothing has happened then you must start the conpressions.place the 'heel' of your hand in the middle or so of ther chest and place your other hand ontop of the other. kneel besides them and do 30 compressions.after cheek for response if nothing do the two breaths again and continue on with the compressions until prefesional help arrives. I hope this helps.^ This is what you should do to an adult NOT a baby or child. the number of breaths and compressions are different to a child and baby.I learnt it all in school so yeah it should be right. hopefully anyway. well, that's a little off. i learned it differently in my CPR class. the # of compressions is correct, but you need to begin right away with the CPR process. in my CPR class, they said NOT to pinch the nostrils shut, only to breathe into the lungs and do compressions. also, if people are choking on something, don't perform CPR, perform the Heimlich Maneuver.
