CPR

Lay the infant on its back. Tilt the head backwards (to provide a clear airway to the lungs). Seal your lips over the baby's mouth and nose, Blow very gentlyin short breaths - as if blowing a feather off your hand. Use quick but light breaths - about 1 per second.

After every 5 cycles of compressions/breaths, which is approximately every 2 minutes.

The two most common heart rhythms that require CPR is ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular tachycardia is an extremely rapid cardiac rhythm and ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal cardiac rhythm. For an adult, if the person is unconscious and not breathing, CPR is required. There are numerous reasons an adult would be unconscious and not breathing; all require CPR.

As you give the breaths, look down the long axis of the body to see the chest rise as you give the breath.

Yes, everyone who works in an Emergency Room is required to maintain CPR and ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) certification according to the ACLS Certification Institute.

CPR is required for the layperson and BLS (basic life support) is required for the healthcare provider. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is required for the first responder in emergency settings - i.e. the ER.

Answer this question… A. When a person has stopped breathing on his or her own

The 2 thumb-encircling hands technique.

3/4 of the world die or become very ill each year from a genetic disease

The ones in existence deliver too much energy. At some point in time there will be 1 AED for A/C/I; but the need for infant AED is so few, in my opinion, that the market would not bear the cost of production.

The rate is 30 compressions at a rate of 100/minute.

It would not be safe to use, because the shocks would not be effective.

As a first responder, we always perform CPR if the situation calls for it. We may never know if the CPR we performed was able to save the life or not. Depending on the medical emergency, there may be no chance for recovery. CPR will not always save a life, so if it is not able to it is OK. We will always perform CPR if the situation warrants and if it fails it is OK, We did our part to give the person the chance to be saved by our prompt response.

It may help to remove the shirt for CPR. For AED use, all clothing around the chest must be removed.

They have an expiration date on the card

While it isn't reccommended, it is possible to do so. If if you perform CPR on someone, and you aren't being advised by a certified individual or you are not certified yourself, you could be held liable for any injuries incurred by the action.

No, you can't become a CNA with just a FA/CPR card & HS Diploma. You will need to take a class and pass a state exam. No, you can't become a certified nurse's aide (CNA) with a CPR and first aid certification plus a high school diploma. You will need to take a CNA class and pass a state test.

Chest compression depth for CPR is:

Adult = 2 inches

Child = 1 to 1 1/2 inches

Infant: 1/2 to 1 inch.

The AED may shock once, twice, or three times.

Personally, when instructing CPR, I ensure that the students are fully aware of the value of CPR and its lifesaving properties. Showing a real life video of a CPR survivor will make your students want to listen and learn the skill more. Starting with a few statistics such as "the chance of survival from a cardiac arrest without CPR is less than 5%" or "only 32% of cardiac arrest patients receive bystander CPR prior to the arrival of Emergency Services" will make your students understand the need to take action should a real life scenario unfold.

A person will need breaths within 4 minutes; maximum time of 6 minutes. For every minute after 6 minutes, chances for survival reduce by about 10% per minute.

well im in Australia and we use DRABC...they stand for:

Danger- is there a danger to youself, bystanders or the casualty

Response- does the casualty respond to any sort of communication between you and them

Airway- does the casualty have a clear airway with no blockages

Breathing- is casualty breathing

Circulation- check casualties hands and feet, are they normal colour?

Studies have found that compression only is more effective, so 1 compression to zero ventilations is the correct ratio. If the person's heart is beating, then you can worry about respiration. If not, keep the blood circulating and let respiration worry about itself (there will be some gas exchange in the lungs even without it, and if you're compressing a person's chest, you're going to be compressing their lungs somewhat anyway, and even without both of those factors, there's quite a bit of dissolved oxygen in the blood; the really critical thing is to make sure that the brain ... which uses it pretty quickly ... doesn't use up the local supply and start to die off).

If the person shows no signs of life from a drug overdose, yes you would perform CPR.

You are correct; 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
