CPR

You know there is enough volume of air in the child when the chest rises 1 to 1 1/2 inches or 1/3 to 1/2 the depth of the chest.

About 80 per minute should work. You should get a professional to show you how.

edit: rate of compressions should always be about 100 per minute, regardless of age.

As you give the ventilation, look down the axis of the body and you should see the chest rise approximately 1/2 to 1 inch. This is how you will know air is going into the lungs.

the infusion of small volumes of ice-cold Ringer's solution during resuscitation results in an effective decrease in nasopharyngeal temperature. Caution should be taken to avoid temperatures below the range of mild therapeutic hypothermia.

When performing a neurovital signs assessment, two key areas to evaluate are level of consciousness and motor function. Assessing level of consciousness involves determining the patient's responsiveness and orientation, which can indicate neurological integrity. Evaluating motor function includes checking strength, coordination, and reflexes, helping to identify potential neurological deficits or impairments.

This is taken right from the book for EMT-B training.

Asynchronous CPR is MOST accurately defined as:

not stopping compressions to deliver ventilations

FDR, Car, and MPR rhymes with CPR.

A cardiac rehabilitation program should be implemented and closely monitored by a trained team of healthcare professionals.

Give 30 compressions : 2 breaths, 5 cycles; call 911. Then repeat cycles of 30 compressions : 2 breaths until help arrives.

Fairly likely you will come across a choking situation or someone needing CPR.

Breathing is required for CPR. You can use a breathing barrier such as a mask; or use a bag valve mask for the breaths. Mouth to mouth, per se, is not recommended.

Each breath should last 1 second, with or without the use of a breathing barrier. This is the same amount of time for a child and adult.

If someone is not there to control the bleeding (or the person, if capable), the person will die.

CPR - FPR stands for CardioPulmanary Resuscitation For Professional Rescuers.

It teaches more advanced life saving techniques for people with life-saving careers (ie. Life guards, EMTs, etc.)

Absolutely. When you took CPR, you were given the knowledge required to provide first aid, and save a life. When you are out on the street, it is ok to render aid to those who need it. Many people who are NOT CPR certified have done CPR to those in need. The only reason you are required to update your CPR is for on the job reasons. JCAHO checks all empolyee's credentials at your local hospitals and clinics. Use your judgement. If your heart is willing to help someone who is need, by all means help them.

An AED is used to analyze the rhythm of the heart and determine whether it would be beneficial to the victim to administer electric shock. A conscious person suffering from minor heart palpitations will not get any benefit from an AED because you cannot administer electric shock to a conscious patient and the AED will simply tell you (at the end of its analysis) that "shock is not advised."

After the shock, the AED will either say that another shock is advised or to continue CPR.

none.

when performing CPR the guidelines state 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths. this should remain and shouldnt vary at all.

There is not one specific Air Force Regulation that covers CPR. CPR is located in numerous regulations, such as shown in the related links AEROMEDICAL EVACUATION AIRCREW EVALUATION CRITERIA or THE FIRE PROTECTION OPERATIONS AND FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM.

The fifth step in performing the head-tilt/chin-lift technique is to; keep the victim's mouth open.

Perform CPR 30 compressions, 2 breaths; rate of compressions is 100/minute.
