CPR

in that case they don't even need CPR

To relieve an obstructed airway in an unresponsive adult patient, first, call for emergency medical help. Perform the Heimlich maneuver if the patient is still breathing, or if they are completely unresponsive, initiate CPR while checking the mouth for any visible obstruction. Use back blows and chest thrusts if the patient is conscious but choking. If unresponsive, continue with CPR and attempt to clear the airway with each rescue breath.

In the case of James suffering a heart attack with no heartbeat or breathing, you should immediately perform CPR. This involves pushing hard and fast in the center of his chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, while also ensuring to call 911 for emergency medical assistance. Continue CPR until help arrives or until he shows signs of recovery. The Heimlich maneuver is not appropriate in this situation as it is used for choking, not cardiac arrest.

At the bottom of the rib-cage along the midline of the body, you will feel the ribs from the right and left sides of the body come together at a triangular corner. Just below this sits the cartilaginous Xiphoid Process.

intracardial

Perform 5 cycles of CPR in 2 minutes.

Insure there is no pulse before you attach the pads to the victim.

When someone is not breathing and does not have a pulse

Dr. Peter Safar is considered to be the father of CPR.

Because the CPR may be working against the victims normal breathing and heart rate.

When you are approximately 12 years old, you can get CPR certified.

Do not analyze if anyone is touching the patient.

Generally, you need to give compressions at a rate of 100 per minute to fully circulate the blood. That's depressing 1/3 of the depth of the chest for adults, and 1/4 of the chest depth for infants and children.

only the time needed to attach an AED and for it to deliver a shock

Chest compressions are for cardiac problems, to maintain some blood circulation. The Heimlich Maneuver is for a blocked airway. If the person has a blocked airway and Heimlich did not clear it, chest compressions are not going to help. Find other ways to clear the airway.

An infant in need of CPR will show no movement, breathing, or a pulse.

If after the head is tipped for 10s, and there is no breathing (adult), give 2 breaths and immediately begin CPR.

In general, the AED batteries only need to be recharged. The pads are single use only, you will need replacement pads before the AED can be put back into service.

Things you used to save someone's life, normally included in the AED kit, should be replaced too like gloves, mask, shaver, anti-septic wipes, etc.

In my opinion, 200 feet of altitude, either higher or lower, from the normal baseline altitude of the person, will have little to no affect on breathing or pulse.

Call 911 (in America) or your local emergency number.

For an adult, 2-rescuer CPR compression to breath ratio is the same as 1-rescuer; 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

everyday

If you are unsure,use a clean cloth or tissue or a clean piece of plastic over the victim's mouth.
