A- Airway. In order to breath, or in the case of CPR, to breath for another individual, one must secure a patent, or viable, airway. Usually by checking for any airway obstruction (Choking hazard) and placing the adult patient's head into a "neutral" position so that the chin is essentially centered, not too far towards the chest or in a "sniffing" position where the head is basically "looking upwards" one can generally maintain an adequate Airway. B- Breathing Look, listen and feel for ventilation, or breathing. Look for rise and fall in the chest, which would indicate the patient is breathing. Listen for sounds of breathing, or in the case of a partial choking victim, listen for wheezing or high pitch noises, called "stridors" If breathing is indadequate, one should initiate rescue breathing or CPR. C- Circulation Body tissue receives nourishment and oxygenation through circulation. Circulation is provided by a major pump in the body called the heart. To check for circulation, one should feel for a pulse by palpating one of several "pulse points" on the body. The most common is the Carotid, which is palpated by placing two fingers forward, resting on the center of the neck and sliding gently towards the back of the neck until roughly at center. There are points on either side of the neck. Another spot to check is the radial artery, which is felt by placing two fingers between the radial bone and ligament on the arm. This would be the side of the forearm situated on the same side as the patient's thumb. If indadequate circulation is present, then one should initiate rescuscitative efforts, such as CPR compressions.

CPR-FPR is CPR for the Professional Rescuer.
CPR for the Healthcare Provider
CPR light refers to a light made by CPR Aquatics, Inc.
The health care provider CPR card includes 2-rescuer CPR and use of the BVM which is not included in the community CPR.

There is no such term as "green CPR".
Cpr means
CPR can be performed by a smoker.
It only takes 1 person to perform CPR. An advanced CPR course can be taken to train you on 2-person CPR, which makes it easier and more productive than 1 person CPR.
