CPR HELP
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involves a rescuer performing chest compressions and artificial respiration (rescue breaths) on an unconscious heart attack victim.
Chest compressions are at least 5cm (2 inches) deep except for infants 4 cm (1.6 inches) and at a rate of at least 100 per minute in an effort to create artificial blood circulation by manually pumping blood through the heart and thus the body. The rescuer may also provide rescue breaths by either exhaling into the subject’s mouth or nose or using a device that pushes air into the subject’s lungs.
The recommended order of interventions is chest compressions, check airway, rescue breaths but some recommend check airway, breaths, and compressions for children.
Use 30 compressions and then 2 rescue breaths for adults.
Use 15 compressions and then 2 rescue breaths for children.
For infants, use 3 compressions and then 1 rescue breath.
In adults, rescuers should use two hands for the chest compressions, while in children they should use one hand, and with infants two fingers (index and middle
