2. 6 steps to CPR… 1. check responsiveness 2. call 911 3. check vitals
4. 30 chest compressions
5. 2 breaths
6. 5 cycles then recheck vitals

3. Checking Responsiveness:
Shake and shout
“Are you OK?”

4. Checking Vitals: Look- Listen- Feel- At chest rise
For breathing by putting ear next to mouth
Feel-
For a pulse at the carotid artery

5. Avenues 1. No pulse and no breathing
Cardiac arrest!
We will perform full CPR
2. They have a pulse and are breathing, just unresponsive
Call 911, stay with victim and monitor
3. They have a pulse but No breathing
Rescue breathing
1 breath every 5 seconds

6. Chest Compressions Purpose of compressions-
Compressions circulate oxygenated blood throughout the body.
Victim should be flat on their back on a hard, flat surface.
Victim’s head should be on the same level as the heart or lower.

7. Correct Hand Position Draw 2 lines
1. down the center of the body
2. across the nipples
Place palm of hand where 2 lines intersect
Place other hand on top of first and interlock fingers
Keep fingers up and off victim

8. Body Position of Rescuer
Should be kneeled down on the side of the victim with proper hand placement.
Straighten your arms and lock your elbows
Your shoulders should be directly over your hands.
Push with the weight of your upper body, not with the muscles of your arms.

9. Compression Technique
Push the sternum down 2 inches in depth.
Compressions should be smooth.
Recoil- let victims chest come all the way up before next compression is performed.
Do not pause between compressions.
Give compressions at the rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute
Count aloud, “One and two and three and… up to 30.

10. Breaths: Once you have completed 30 chest compressions…
Transition yourself to the victim’s head
Perform a head tilt/chin lift
Pinch victim’s nose
Tilt head back
Lift chin anteriorly
Put your mouth over victims creating a seal
Perform 2 breaths

11. Breaths Continued: 2 breaths- Each breath should last about 1 second
1 second pause in between each breath
As you are giving breaths…
Watch for a chest rise
Once chest starts to rise you may cut off that breath

12. Compression/Breathing Cycles
For 1 person CPR do 30 compressions and 2 breaths.
Position yourself between the chest and head.
For each cycle, give 30 chest compressions, open the airway with the head-tilt/chin-lift and give 2 slow breaths.
This cycle should take about seconds.

13. When to Stop If another trained person takes over CPR. EMS arrives.
Scene becomes suddenly unsafe.
If an AED becomes available
