How to Do CPR

How to do CPR is not that easy difficult but still it requires mastery. Though it is perceived as a simple first aid application, it will be best if you perform it well for efficiency and good result. Doing CPR for adults, children and for infants has a slight difference, but overall it is the same steps and techniques. When you give CPR to infants you need to be extra careful because of their size (not pressing as hard with compressions and giving less volume of air with breaths. They can be very sensitive and their condition may become worse if you don't do it well. The thing you must check in CPR is if the person is showing any signs of life (breathing, opening eyes, movement, etc). If you think they are showing no signs, of life, call 911 right away and give them 30 hard and fast compressions in the center of the chest. If you are going to give breaths, give mouth to mouth with a barrier device if possible. Open the persons air passages like his or her mouth using the head tilt chin life method. Give two 1 second breaths and then right back to 30 compressions. You would fully master and understand this first aid treatment.

AED:

The aed or defibrillator is very easy to use. Keep doing cpr and turn on the AED. Look at the pad placement and place the electrode pads on the bare chest. When needed, the unit will tell you to press shock or keep doing cpr. Listen to the aed like it is your coach. Many now even have a screen that has text and pictures. CPR and AED use together can help save 60-70& of lives compared to 5-10% only with cpr alone.

What are you going to do if someone is choking? If there is foreign object that is trap on an adult, infant or child's throat, what will you do? If there is blockage in your throat, the worst things that can happen is the inability or difficulty in breathing and the blockage of the flow of air. For you to save an infant from choking you will need to give him or her five blows in his/her back. The first things that you should do are to give five (5) blows at his/her back in between his/her shoulder blades using your hand's heel. After that, give the person five (5) chest thrusts like in cpr. Then, perform an alternate blows and thrust which is five each. You will need to do this until you already dislodge the blockage. To perform the Heimlich on children and adults, you put your hands around their waist and make a fist between the belly button and below the sternum and push up and in very hard over and over until the object comes out. If the person passes out, you call 911 and start cpr.
