CPR

absence of ventillation

Yes it absolutely can be.

Tilt the head when giving the breaths.

The EMT performing CPR on the patient saved his life.

" Automated external defibrillator" is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart that will restore the natural heart rhythm to the victim during a cardiac arrest.

When the AED electrodes are applied to the victim's chest, it automatically analyzes the heart rhythm and the rescuer is then advised whether a shock is needed to regain a normal heart beat. The heart has been defibrillated when the victim's heart resumes normal beating.

Jobs in or related to the health care field (Nurse, EMT, CNA, Doctor, etc), security, emergency response teams and Ski Patrol are examples of jobs that require CPR certification.

30 pushes (also called compressions) and 2 breaths for an Adult, Infant, or Child.

Check with your local fire department, ambulance service, American Red Cross, or American Heart Association. Usually one of those groups will sponsor free CPR classes, annually, usually held at a school or community center.

Call the local agency that issued you the CPR card (e.g. American Red Cross, American Heart Association). They will have a course record and will verify the card is not expired, and will send you a replacement card.

Use your mouth to cover the infant's nose and mouth, infant should be placed on a table rather than on the floor.

30 compression to 2 breaths

Tilt the head back or jut the jaw to keep somebody's airway open to help them breathe.

The Good Semeritin laws cover you from all liability from performing medical aid in an emergency.

Each AED is different. All new AED's self check themselves. Unless it beeps or flashes, it should be OK. Pads last from 2-3 years and batteries last 2-5 years. Check them at least once a month.

From looking at outlines of level 1 first aid, it will cover only the basics and will not get into rural, wilderness, or outdoor care. It may cover the basics of burns, frostbite, and poisoning; but that looks more like a level 2. I am not familiar with the levels as these levels are not typically a US first aid designation.

When you open the airway, don't pinch the nose. Check for breathing and signs of life. If no breathing or signs of life, then pinch the nose and give 2 breaths. Only pinch the nose while giving breaths.

Hopefully you have a cell phone to call for help. If not, you must leave the victim to get help ASAP. If there are 2 people, one leaves to get help while the other performs CPR.

Signs of breathing difficulty in adult CPR are wheezing, irregular, shallow, or gasping breaths.

Unless the child is pulseless, HECK NO. Never put an AED on a conscious patient or a patient with a palpable pulse.
