CPR

For 1 rescuer CPR for the 30 compressions count 1, 2, 3, ..., 30.

Some reputable classes to get CPR training is with the American Red Cross. There are also safety focused companies that do onsite training for your employees.

Yes; upper right and lower left AED pads on patient.

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

As far as current Canadian Red Cross training goes, the CPR for HCP does not cover first aid.

It does cover topics such as shock & deadly bleeding, stroke, angina & heart attack (as well as CPR, AED, choking) but is not considered enough to be a first aid course.

Typically the first aid course covers more. See the related link for a breakdown of the various courses or check your local training provider.

CPR is complete when the patent comes around with spontaneous respiration or someone such as a police officer, doctor, EMT, or ambulance driver tells you to stop.

Yes you can take CPR classes at the YMCA in Wilmington, NC. As well, you can also take CPR courses online or at a local fire department or other venue.

You should perform CPR while waiting for the AED to become available to you. Once you have the AED at the scene, turn it on, apply the pads, then wait while it analyzes. While it is completing analysis you (and everyone else) should not touch the victim until the analysis is complete.

If the dentures are not causing you problems, leave them in. If they are interfering with the breaths or are loose and may lodge in the throat, you will need to remove them.

the force you use in CPR should not be too big that's why you keep the weaker hand on top as to not break ones chest , but also not too small as if enough force to push downwards about 2-4 cms .

CCC stands for continuous chest compression in CPR.

The process of performing CPR (for the lay person) is pretty much the same across the ages; 30 compressions / 2 breaths. The difference you adjust for due to size is the amount of air that is required to expand the lungs & the depth of the compressions. Amount of compression depth & chest rise for the age groups is as follows: Adult (over 12 age): 1 1/2 to 2 inches; Child (age 1+ to 12): 1 to 1 1/2 inches; Infant (age birth to 1): 1/2 to 1 inch. There are other slight differences such as how far to tilt the head back (more for adult, less for child, even less for infant), where and if to check a pulse. A lot of minor differences I know; best to take a CPR class to actually perform all the steps and become proficient for adult, child, and infant.

Perform Adult CPR by 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths.

The sternum is the bony plate that you place the heel of your palm over when performing chest compressions. Its many connections to the ribs stabilize it and allows you to effectively compress and decompress the heart.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is an established proven technique that a First Responder / Paramedic / Doctor would use to resuscitate a 'clinically dead' patient, (unconscious, no breathing present and no pulse), to give that person a chance of survival.

MFA usually refers to medical first aid.

For a child, use the heel of one hand located on the center of the chest, on the sternum. For an infant, use 2 or 3 fingers (index, middle, and ring fingers) on the sternum, just below the nipple line.

It seems as though, during the past number of years, it is every 5 years. There was ECC 2000, ECC 2005 & I hear there are guidelines for ECC 2010 which will be rolled out later this year; all which have CPR changes and updates.

Well that depends... There are some jobs that require you to be certified in CPR. You do not need to be certified to perform CPR. If there is not a certified rescuer in the immediate vicinity, you may perform CPR. 911 operators now instruct callers on how to perform a rough version of CPR. If you do find yourself in a situation where someone needs resuscitation, call for help quickly. Call 911 and begin CPR. Check the Good Samaritan Laws in your area.

Well it depends what job application it is for but it would look very good on an application no matter what

AED pads expire for many reasons, all of which hinder the pads ability to perform its functions. Age can cause the adhesive on the pad to lose its ability to stick to a patient, the conductive wiring can also go bad with time.
