CPR

The following could happen, in the short term: broken ribs, bruised heart, heartbeat irregularities, and punctured lungs. If prolonged CPR is given on a person with a pulse, it may cause arrhythmia and possible death.

pull his ear and ask if he can hear you

bend over the victim for signs of breathing

clear anything in his mouth

clamp his nose with two fingers, cover his mouth with yours. & blow air into his lungs,making his chest rise. do this twice.

then start compressions. 30 compressions. two breaths. 4 sessions.

check carotid artery for pulse. if none, continue procedure.

the same as for 1 person CPR 30:2 (Compression:Breaths)

There are not very many jobs available that has CPR and First Aid certification only as requirements. You may get a job at a first aid station at a concert or public function such as a raft race. If you obtain instructor certification, you may be able to teach CPR & First Aid for the American Heart Association or American Red Cross.

it depends on if your obese (which you probably are).. so yea

Yes, use AED pads on adults with no breathing and no pulse. The pads will need to be matched to the AED as most pads have different attachments to the AED.

I believe the legal requirements are to give CPR as you were taught; no more & no less. I understand some teach hands only CPR and if you know and are certified in that technique, then use it. As a professional rescuer, it is not allowed.

It depends on what institution and what country you obtained the certificate in.

In New Zealand, a St John First Aid Certificate expires after three years. If the certificate is renewed within three months, you can attend a refresher course and get it re-awarded. If it has expired for more than three months, you will have to complete the whole two day course again.

It is paramount that the certificate is kept up to date so that you are familiar and kept informed with new techniques in first aid. For example, the Resuscitation Council of New Zealand changed the cardiopulmonary resuscitation ratio of compressions to breaths from 15:2 to 30:2. Updates like these are important if you are to maintain your level of proficiency.

Normal breathing

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.
