Well, first of all , your'e alive. You are breathing normally and your body is warmed all over by your blood. This is called perfusion. No edema , internal or external, means good return circulation as well.
Continue CPR if no signs of circulation.
Signs of poor blood circulation in the legs include numbness or tingling, coldness, swelling, cramping, and slow-healing wounds or ulcers.
Normal breathing
Symptoms of a blood circulation problem may include cold hands and feet, numbness or tingling in the extremities, muscle cramps, slow wound healing, and changes in skin color or temperature. Other signs can be fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. If you suspect issues with your blood circulation, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Signs of poor circulation in the legs include numbness, tingling, coldness, swelling, and slow-healing wounds. These can be identified by observing changes in skin color, temperature, and sensation, as well as by monitoring the speed of wound healing and the presence of leg pain or cramping.
Signs of circulation issues include numbness or tingling in extremities, cold hands or feet, swelling in legs or feet, slow healing wounds, and changes in skin color or texture. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
To assess the presence of circulation, check for vital signs such as pulse and blood pressure, which indicate blood flow. Additionally, observe skin color, temperature, and capillary refill time; the skin should be warm, pink, and return to normal color within a few seconds when pressed. Listen for heart sounds and assess for any signs of perfusion deficits, like altered mental status or extremity weakness. Finally, evaluate for any signs of bleeding or shock that may impact circulation.
The signs of circulation would be movement, breathing, healthy skin colour, healthy skin temperature. There are lots of answers to the question - assuming you're not a healthcare provider.... Initially check on approach. What do they look like when you walk up to them? Moving or not? Then (assuming we're talking about unconscious kids) open the airway & check for breathing. You'll assess circulation right there: is the skin warm to touch when you open the airway? Are they breathing? If the answer to both of those is 'no' then you can assume they have no circulation. If they are breathing, you can safely assume they have a pulse.
Signs of poor circulation can include cold hands and feet, swelling in your legs or feet, cramping in your muscles, and slow healing of wounds. If you notice these symptoms or have concerns about your circulation, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and guidance on improving circulation.
For lay (community) CPR, there is no circulation check at all for an Adult. If no breathing, and after 2 breaths, go directly to CPR for an Adult. Do not stop CPR to check for circulation. For a Child, check circulation at carotid artery. For an Infant, check the brachial artery.
Signs of poor circulation in the legs include numbness or tingling, coldness, swelling, cramping, and slow-healing wounds. These can be identified by observing changes in skin color, temperature, and texture, as well as by paying attention to any pain or discomfort in the legs during physical activity. Consulting a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment is recommended.
To check circulation in a fractured or dislocated limb, assess the pulse at the distal site (such as the wrist or ankle) to ensure blood flow. Additionally, check for capillary refill by pressing on a nail bed and observing how quickly color returns (ideally within 2 seconds). Look for signs of adequate circulation, such as warmth, color, and sensation in the limb. If circulation is compromised, seek immediate medical attention.
