Compressions One of the most important parts of CPR is giving ________________. When you compress the chest, you pump blood to the brain and the heart Push hard and fast (rate of _____ times a minute) After each normal compression, release pressure on chest to let it come back to normal position

Remember, the heel of one hand goes on the center of the victims chest, heel of other hand goes on top of first hand. Refer to the steps if you cannot remember exactly how

Breaths Continued… When you give CPR, you do sets of ___ chest compressions and ___ breaths. Try to keep on a rhythm with the breaths and compressions, (100 compressions a minute rate.) Try not to interrupt the chest compressions when they are being done – Don’t take to long with rescue breaths (2 breaths for 1 second each)

Putting it All Together Now that we have gone over the chest compressions and breaths, time to put it all together. When performing CPR on an individual, remember to follow these steps in order.

Steps for CPR Make sure the _______ is safe – Make sure it is safe for you and victim, because you do not want to become the victim.

Steps Continued.. Get Help – If victim doesn’t respond, get help on way as soon as possible – Yell for help, if someone comes, tell them to dial 911 and find and AED if available – If no one comes, call 911 and start the steps of CPR

Steps Continued… Check _________ – Open the victim’s airway with the head tilt-chin lift – Check to see if the victim is breathing normally (5- 10 seconds) Look, Listen, Feel 30 Compressions with 2 Rescue breaths Keep going until help arrives, or you become tired so someone else can take over

Special Situations If a victim is gasping, they are not breathing and will need CPR. If your first rescue breath doesn’t go in, re- position the head to re-open the airway with the head tilt-chin lift.

Masks The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires certain rescuers to use a mask when giving breaths. May want to use a mask or other barrier device when giving CPR to victims. Masks are made of firm plastic and fit over the victims mouth or mouth to nose.
