The document provides guidelines for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in adults, children, infants, and for choking victims. It discusses the importance of immediately starting CPR to restore blood flow to vital organs like the brain. CPR should continue until emergency medical services arrive or signs of life return. Proper CPR involves cycles of chest compressions and ventilations at specific rates and ratios that vary based on the victim's age.

4. Class I Recommendations High-level prospective studies support the action or therapy, and the risk substantially outweighs the potential for harm. .
5. Class II A Recommendations The weight of evidence supports the action or therapy and the therapy is considered acceptable and useful
6. Class II b Optional Interventions are identified by terms such as "can be considered" or "may be useful." Recommended - Interventions that out are identified with terms such as "we recommend" .
7. Easy to Learn Easy to Remember Easy to Perform RATIONALE FOR CHANGE
23. OPEN THE AIRWAY HEAD TILT - CHIN LIFT MAKE SURE FINGERS ARE NOT ON THE SOFT SPOT
24. IF NECK OR SPINAL INJURY IS SUSPECTED MANUAL STABILIZATION OF HEAD IS PREFERRED. IMMOBILIZATION DEVICES INTERFERE WITH EFFECTIVE CPR WHILE TRANSPORTING VICTIM ON SPINE BOARD A CERVICAL COLLAR IS NECESSARY
28. NO BREATHING, GIVE 2 BREATHS PINCH THE NOSE, SEAL YOUR MOUTH OVER VICTIMS MOUTH DELIVER 2 BREATHS THAT MAKE CHEST RISE
29. DO NOT TAKE DEEP BREATHS ONE VENTILATION……. VISIBLE CHEST RISE NO CHEST RISE AFTER FIRST VENTILATION – TILT HEAD AGAIN TO DELIVER ANOTHER BREATH
30.
31. MOUTH TO NOSE VENTILATION IF UNABLE TO OPEN MOUTH DUE TO SERIOUS INJURY UNABLE TO SEAL EFFECTIVELY VICTIM IS IN WATER
32. BREATHS THAT ARE TOO LARGE AND FORCEFUL.. INCREASES INTRA THORACIC PRESSURE IN THE LUNGS THUS DECREASING VENOUS RETURN TO THE HEART FORCEFUL BREATHS CAUSE GASTRIC INFLATION AND ITS COMPLICATIONS VOMITING, PNEUMONIA, ASPIRATION
33. POSITION YOURSELF AT THE VICTIM’S SIDE VICTIM MUST BE LYING ON A FIRM FLAT SURFACE FOR A MALE VICTIM, REMOVE ALL CLOTHING AND EXPOSE CHEST FOR A FEMALE VICTIM, DO NOT REMOVE HER LAST GARMENT
34. MALE: PLACE HEAL OF ONE HAND, LOWER HALF OF STERNUM AT THE NIPPLE LINE. PLACE OTHER HAND ON TOP, INTERLOCK FINGERS, ELBOW LOCK. FEMALE: LOWER HALF OF STERNUM
37. COMPRESSIONS NO PULSE CHECK FOR LAY RESCUERS IN 40% OF VICTIMS WITH A PULSE THEY FAILED TO DETECT IT IN 10% OF VICTIMS WITHOUT A PULSE THEY FAILED TO DETECT IT TAKING TOO LONG TO CHECK PULSE
38. PUSH HARD….. PUSH FAST……… PRESS DOWN 1 ½ - 2 INCHES COMPRESSION – RELAXATION - COMPRESSION COMPRESSION RATE 100/MIN. COMPRESSION RATIO 30 : 2 VENTILATION
39.
40.
41. REMEMBER…… SHALLOW CHEST COMPRESSIONS WILL NOT PRODUCE ADEQUATE BLOOD FLOW ALLOW CHEST TO RECOIL (RELAX) AFTER EACH COMPRESSION TO FACILITATE BLOOD FLOW MINIMUM INTERUPTIONS TO CHEST COMPRESSIONS. BLOOD WILL NOT FLOW IF CHEST IS NOT COMPRESSED.
42. 30 COMPRESSIONS + 2 VENTILATIONS = 1 CYCLE DO 5 CYCLES OF CPR CHANGE RESCUER TO AVOID RESCUER FATIGUE INADEQUATE CHEST COMPRESSIONS
43. CONTINUE CPR TILL SIGNS OF LIFE ARE NOTED BODY MOVEMENTS - COUGHING - RETURN OF NORMAL BREATHING - ARRIVAL OF AED OR AMBULANCE
44. TWO RESCUER CPR CHANGE COMPRESSOR AND VENTILATOR POSITIONS ( ADULTS) 30 COMPRESSIONS + 2 VENTILATIONS AFTER 5 CYCLES
75. IF INFANT BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS….. 1. PLACE INFANT ON A FLAT FIRM SURFACE 2. OPEN AIRWAY, LOOK FOR OBJECT IN THE MOUTH DO NOT PERFORM BLIND FINGER SWEEP
76. BEGIN CPR WITH ONE EXTRA STEP LOOK FOR FB AT BACK OF THROAT 1 2 3
