Learn how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, more commonly known as CPR, with these step-by-step instructions from the American Heart Association.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation, or mouth to mouth in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
About 90% of people who experience cardiac arrests outside of a hospital die. But CPR can double or triple a person’s survival chances.
The American Red Cross lists the following as the seven steps of CPR: 1. Check the scene for safety and put on any personal protective equipment, such as a mask.
These two steps should provide the initial assessment of whether the patient will require CPR or not. In the event that the patient is not breathing normally, the current international guidelines (set by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation or ILCOR) indicate that chest compressions should be started.
CPR consists of chest compressions followed by rescue breaths - for single rescuer do 30 compressions and 2 breaths (30:2), for > 2 rescuers do 15 compressions and 2 breaths (15:2). The rate of chest compressions should be 100-120 compressions/min and depth should be 1.5 inches for infants and 2 inches for children.
