CPR is respiratory assistance to someone who has a cardiac arrest, sink down or respiratory disorders.
CPR divided into 2, for children and for adult. People who do CPR there are 3 types of categories:
trained, trained but rigid and untrained. Trained is a person can do CPR and has a certificate. Trained but
rigid is a person can do CPR but still not trained. Untrained is a person just understand do CPR but not
trained.
a. Open your child's airway by tilting the head and lifting the chin.
b. To do this, place your hand on their forehead and gently tilt their head back.
c. At the same time, with your fingertips under the point of your child's chin, lift the chin. Do
not push on the soft tissues under the chin as this may block the airway.
If you think there may have been an injury to the neck, tilt the head carefully, a small amount at
a time, until the airway is open. Opening the airway takes priority over a possible neck injury,
however.
c) Obstructed airway
If you have difficulty achieving effective breathing in your child, the airway may be obstructed.
- Open the child's mouth and remove any visible obstruction. Do not poke your fingers or any
object blindly into the mouth.
- Ensure there's adequate head tilt and chin lift, but the neck is not overextended.
- Make up to 5 attempts to achieve effective breaths (enough to make the chest visibly rise). If
this is still unsuccessful, move on to chest compressions combined with rescue breaths.
Position yourself vertically above the chest and, with your arm straight, compress the breastbone so you
push it down 5cm, which is approximately one-third of the chest diameter. The quality (depth) of chest
compressions is very important.
In larger children or if you're small, this may be done more easily by using both hands with the fingers
interlocked, avoiding pressure on the ribs.
If nobody responded to your shout for help at the beginning and you're alone, continue resuscitation for
about 1 minute before trying to get help – for example, by dialling 999 on a mobile phone.
Your child shows signs of life – normal breathing, coughing, movement of arms or legs.
For Adult
If there are 2 people, one of then call an ambulance and others doing CPR. If only one person, first call
an ambulance and doing CPR
Place the heel of your hand on the breastbone at the centre of the person's chest. Place your other hand
on top of your first hand and interlock your fingers.
Using your body weight (not just your arms), press straight down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) on their
chest.
Keeping your hands on their chest, release the compression and allow the chest to return to its original
position.
Repeat these compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 times a minute until an ambulance arrives or you
become exhausted.
When you call for an ambulance, telephone systems now exist that can give basic life-saving
instructions, including advice about CPR.
These are now common and are easily accessible with mobile phones.
Adults
Place the heel of your hand on the centre of the person's chest, then place the other hand on top and
press down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) at a steady rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute.
Tilt the casualty's head gently and lift the chin up with 2 fingers. Pinch the person's nose. Seal your
mouth over their mouth, and blow steadily and firmly into their mouth for about 1 second. Check that
their chest rises. Give 2 rescue breaths.
Continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until they begin to recover or
emergency help arrives.
