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.

About how many cycles of CPR should you perform for an adult in 2 minute?

It is 30 compressions to every 2 breaths given. 5 cycles of CPR should be performed in 2 minutes. They believe compressions are more effective than breaths given to the patient as they normal body reflexes bring in a small amount of air and you just need to keep that heart pumping.

What is the diagnosis for someone who is either no longer breathing or their breathing is insufficient to support life?

When a person stops breathing, it's considered respiratory arrest. If their breathing is insufficient, it's considered respiratory distress.

Which part of the body can be broken during CPR?

CPR makes the blood flow round the body to the brain with oxygen. It basically feeds the brain with oxygen.

When you give the breaths it puts oxygen into the lungs and body. When you do the compressions, you push the blood to the muscles (around the body), then draw it back to the heart.

I hope that helped. :)

What are the 10 steps to perform CPR?

1. Survey the scene. If safe, enter.

2. Determine if person is unconscious; if unconscious have someone call 911. If not, call now for an adult.

3. If unconscious, tip head & check for breathing 10 seconds.

4. If not breathing, give 2 breaths.

5. Check pulse for 10 seconds (children & infants). Skip this step for adults.

6. If no pulse, give 30 compressions.

7. Give 2 breaths.

8. Repeat compressions & breaths 4 more times.

9. If no-one was able to call 911, call now for infant & child.

10. Resume CPR ASAP after calling 911; 30 compressions & 2 breaths.

11. Repeat compressions and breaths until help arrives.

Why should you stand clear when an AED delivers a shock?

If you are not clear, the AED could shock you as well.

Will there be any side effects to the person who CPR was preformed on even if he got pulse and respiration?

If you perform CPR on a person who is breathing and has a pulse, you would decrease the effectiveness of their own breaths & heart pumps. If a person is breathing and has a good pulse, during the check you should be able to determine the person has signs of life. In fact, if you try to perform CPR, they may resist. If the person is barley breathing and you do not determine they are breathing, better to perform CPR if in question because if the breathing is that faint, it will only be a short amount of time before they loose signs of life. The probability of a side affect of performing CPR with faint signs of life is small.

What do the CABDs of CPR stand for?

compression, airway. breathing, defibrillation

What is the stock compression ratio on a ltz400?

11.3-1 stock piston with stock 3 layer base gasket

Why is it important to check the airway prior to performing CPR?

to ensure the airway isn't blocked by a foreign object

What is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation certification?

It means you have passed a qualified CPR class.

Initial breath count for 2 rescuer CPR of adult?

Stays the same for Adult CPR 1 or 2 rescuer; 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

When would the pocket mask be used during CPR and why?

Use pocket mask during breathing to protect yourself from patient secretions and fluids. You do not always need to use the pocket mask though, hands only CPR is to get the heart beating again.

If you are breathing normal but every like 10 breaths you take a deep one and it feels like you cant breath...what is it from?

If you are breathing normally except for taking a deep breath every 10 breaths you may be experiencing asthma or anxiety. If you are concerned, please contact a physician.

What is ALS in CPR?

ALS stands for Advanced Life Support and goes beyond the BLS (Basic Life Support, which is CPR for the professional rescuer). ALS, or ACLS as is sometimes termed, includes intubation, reading sinus rhythm's, and administration of drugs.

What is the best action for you to do if the AED gives a No shock indicated and no advanced care personnel are present?

If the AED advises "no shock", the best course of action is to continue or begin standard CPR to the best of your training and ability. New CPR guidelines do not require that you give breath, but emphasize the importance in good chest compressions to keep blood circulating.

CPR should be started in - minutes?

Immediately after signs of life are absent.

What does CPR satnd for?

CPR stands for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation.

Should you call 911 first before preforming CPR on a victim?

Always call 911 first- if you perform CPR incorrectly first, you now have wasted time. At least 911people will be there if you have failed to do the CPR correctly, or if it just did not work.

When would you not do a head tilt technique?

The head-tilt technique should not be used when it is suspected the patient may have a cervical spine or neck injury.

How old should an adult victim be to have an automated external defibrillator AED placed on them?

Age doesn't matter. They should be more than 100 pounds. You should make sure they don't have a pacemaker or internal defibrillator. The AED will tell you everything you need to know step by step. Prior to placement you should make sure they are not wet or in water, have no chains or anything that can burn them, the area where the pads are being placed is free of hair (can burn them).
