CPR

upside down and turned 180 degrees over the tongue

A pulse check is performed on the brachial artery for an infant.

For infants and children, the rate of compressions is 100 per minute.

Depth of compressions:

Children - 1 to 1 1/2 inches.

Infants - 1/2 to 1 inch.

The depth of chest compressions in child CPR is 1 to 1 1/2 inches. A child is about 1 to 8 years old.

Here are the steps you would take if you were using an AED: Turn on the AED.

Following the voice directions.

Apply the adhesive defibrillator pads on the victim's bare chest.

If the device recommends a shock, press the shock button.

The AED's microprocessor will automatically determine if the victim needs a defibrillating shock. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND VIDEO GO TO:

panic my ass off?

30 chest compressions before sweeping the mouth.

I do not have any you should contact the red cross

You can move an unresponsive victim if you need to...

make sure it is fully charged, attach pads, yell no touch, press shock and then al clear.

perform cpr following abc

Half inch - one inch

The bone at the intersection of the rib cages is the xiphoid process; it is critical this bone is not pushed on during CPR. The hand position is to be on the sternum, above or superior to the xiphoid process in the middle of the sternum.

What are the potential risks (what could happen)?

What are the causes of each risk?

How likely is each risk to occur?

What steps can be taken to minimise each risk?

What can be done if each risk occurs?

Are the risk factors likely to change (in either cause, likelyhood or effect).

When will each risk need re-assessing?

The currently accepted CPR ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

Ensure that no one is touching the patient

Full form of AED is United Arab Dirhams.

There.

Because the AED may pick up the persons rhythm who is touching the patient and not shock when a shock is required.

signs of giving up in life are things like when you have a feeling you do not belong on the earth any more and you quit at living and trying.

If your are not trained in CPR or rescue breathing then you should not be giving rescue breaths as you can injure the victim. The lay rescuer should only provide compressions at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. AHA provides courses to learn CPR/ rescue breathing which are very beneficial.

For the condition of no breathing and no pulse, immediately commence CPR.

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.

Just take a CPR class from the American Red Cross or American Heart Association.

The best way is to have the person provide a valid CPR card. If not, you will need to get the person to contact the certification agency to get a valid card. This should not be an issue if they are within their certification expiration date.

Compression stockings are long pairs of hose made out of rubber and elastic fibers that, when worn, support the leg tightly. These versatile tights are used to treat several different conditions including varicose veins and edema and have also been known to help with the after-effects of deep vein thrombosis.

One of the main conditions treated by compression stockings is varicose veins - the unsightly, blue raised veins that sometimes develop on one’s calves and lower legs as one gets older - and, for the best results, the stockings should be donned early in the day before the patient becomes mobile and begins to walk about. Edema - generalized swelling - and, in particular, lymphedema, which is bodily swelling caused by an anomaly in the lymphatic system, also responds well to a patient’s wearing compression stockings. Patients do, however, need to wear the stockings every day in order to see a permanent and complete - or at least partially complete - reduction in the swelling.

Wearing compression stockings is also often recommended to those recovering from severe sprains or strains of lower leg muscles, ligaments and / or tendons. Sufferers of more specific joint conditions - like ankle impingement syndrome where chronic pain is experienced due to a degenerative disease or severe and repeated ankle injuries - would also greatly benefit from wearing compression stockings, and, here, the stockings would be used along with splints and supportive braces to stabilize the ankle while it heals.

Although compression stockings may not be extremely helpful with preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), wearing them is part of the post-DVT recovery process. DVT comprises the development of a blood clot in a deeply situated vein and is thought to have several causes including being inactive for several hours at a time while not being completely hydrated. Known colloquially as economy class syndrome - as passengers flying economy class are particularly prone to developing it - DVT is serious and sometimes fatal. Knee-high compression stockings have been found to be particularly successful in reducing the condition’s effects and these tights should be fitted as soon as possible after the existence of the clot is discovered.
