CPR

Activate your emergency response system after performing CPR for 1 minute.

The depth of a chest compression for an adult while performing CPR is, according to the Canadian Red Cross recommendation, 2 inches.

For lay CPR, no pulse check is required.

30 compressions at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. Then give 2 mouth-to-mouth breaths and repeat. Continue until help arrives.

1. You resusci-breathing is being blocked by an obstruction in the airway. 2. The air you're breathing into the patient is not inflating the lungs but is going elsewhere (e.g. an esophageal tear dumping air into the chest cavity). 3. The chest is restricted from rising (seat belts if you're breathing someone in a wreck can sometimes do this). 4. You have not sufficiently hyperextended the airway. (see bockage above).

Approximate chest compression depth for CPR: Adult - 1 1/2 to 2 inches Child - 1 to 1 1/2 inches Infant - 1/2 to 1 inches.

it is so the heart beat is moveing and then it is pumping blood round the body.

Something as for adults, just use only one hand.

On the sternum, just below an imaginary line across the nipples.

An infant in need of CPR will not be breathing and will not have a pulse. Also, the infant will be turning a blueish color.

If someone is with you have them call 911 while you check the child's ABCs. If no one is with you tend to the child for 2 minutes then call 911.

Depth is 1 1/2-2 inches according to American Heart Association

CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) would be translated "massage cardiaque" in French. The term is commonly undertood as including both rescue breathing and chest compressions. First-Aid workers tend to use the complete phrase "massage cardiaque et respiration artificielle" or "massage cardiaque et bouche à bouche".

When you are administering CPR, you may need to give two rescue breaths. This is done by tilting the person's head back to open the airway, holding the person's nose shut, making a seal with your mouth and breathing for a full second. Do this two times and if necessary, follow with 30 compressions to the chest. Repeat the cycle until the person is breathing on their own or medical help arrives.

Atmospheric air has about 20.5% oxygen and our lungs only extract about 4.5% oxygen, so the air we exhale has about 16% oxygen, 4.5% CO2. The air we breathe into the victim then has 16% oxygen for their lungs to extract oxygen from.

When giving rescue breaths, blow slowly and steadily with good head position. This technique minimizes air in the stomach.
To minimize air entering the stomach make sure the head is well tipped back, and dont blow too hard or too long

ABCDEF pnemonic for CPR :

* Airway * Breathing * Circulation * Drug administration * Electrical defibrillation * Follow up

This is a difficult question to answer as it will vary with each situation. However, there is a saying that is referred to as the golden hour; which can be used as a rule of thumb. If, from the onset of the initial symptoms, a person can get advanced medial care within 1 hour, they have a good chance of making it.

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)

There are several different medical devices designed and licensed to perform mechanical CPR. One popular model is the LUCAS-line of devices.

it depends if they have just fainted or if they are going to be out for a while, it also depends on the situation. If the person faints you should rub their hands and arms and try to get circulation running. also they should be on a relatively flat surface and after they wake up, give them some food. Nothing too heavy, maybe something like crackers, and also something to drink. Something that has suger in it so that their glucose levels will stabilize.

Do not stop CPR to check for a pulse.

If no pulse, start CPR. You can not get the water out of the lungs.

you should look in his or her mouth if the object hasn't came out if not , keep doing abdominal thrust until item is out .

but if the item is out . you give two rescue breaths and abdominal thrust until child becomes responsive .
