Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR or Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency first aid procedure to help someone who has lost their ability to breathe and their pulse, i.e., their noticeable heartbeat. It is a response to a condition known as cardiac arrest, in which heartbeat and breathing have stopped. Cardiac arrest is a condition nearly everyone experiences in the last few minutes of life, after drawing their last breath, and refers to a period in which the heart muscle still has some residual life in it and may sometimes be brought back to normal functioning by emergency techniques. CPR is appropriate for otherwise healthy persons experiencing sudden cardiac death, due perhaps to massive heart attacks or heart rhythm disturbances, and can keep the victims alive until emergency personnel arrive. It is also used effectively for victims of drowning , electrocution or choking, or those suffering from drug or other substance overdoses. CPR is commonly taught to ordinary people who may be the only persons present in the crucial few minutes before emergency personnel are available.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) On normal inspiration, a person breathes in approximately 21% oxygen. The body uses between 4-5% of this amount for its normal functions. Therefore, on expiration a person breathes out approximately 16% oxygen. Indications for CPR unconsciousness no signs of circulation Using your middle and index fingers, find the lower rib edge nearest to you. Keep your fingers together and slide them upwards to the point where the ribs join the breastbone (sternum). This point is called the Xiphoid Process. With your middle finger on this point, place your index finger on the sternum itself. Once you have the correct location you need to compress the chest the appropriate depth depending on age of the casualty. Adult 15 years or older 2 hands 4-5 cm Older Child 9 - 14 years 2 hands 4-5 cm Younger Child 1 to 8 years 1/3 depth of chest 1 hand Infant Newborn to 1 year 2 fingers 1/3 depth of chest Adults and Older Children Younger Children Infants Locate the Xiphoid Process. Slide two fingers of your other hand down the sternum until it reaches your index finger. This should be the middle of the lower half of the sternum. Ensure that there is no pressure exerted over the upper abdomen or bottom tip of the sternum. Procedure for CPR ensure the safety of all those at the scene send someone for help if required if you are on your own, leave the casualty and go for help

Shake victim at the shoulders and shout "are you okay?" If no response, call emergency medical system - then Head-tilt/chin-lift - open victims' airway by tilting their head back with one hand while lifting up their chin with your other hand. B - BREATHING Position your cheek close to victims' nose and mouth, look toward victims' chest, and Look, listen, and feel for breathing (5-10 seconds) If not breathing, pinch victim's nose closed and give 2 full breaths into victim's mouth (use microshield). If breaths won't go in, reposition head and try again to give breaths. If still blocked, perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) C - CIRCULATION Check for carotid pulse by feeling for 5-10 seconds at side of victims' neck. If there is a pulse but victim is not breathing, give Rescue breathing at rate of 1 breath every 5 seconds Or 12 breaths per minute If there is no pulse , begin chest compressions as follows: Place heel of one hand on lower part of victim's sternum. With your other hand directly on top of first hand, Depress sternum 1.5 to 2 inches.

DEFINE: CPR C ardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consists of mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression. CPR allows oxygenated blood to circulate to vital organs such as the brain and heart. CPR can keep a person alive until more advanced procedures (such as defibrillation - an electric shock to the chest) can treat the cardiac arrest. CPR started by a bystander doubles the likelihood of survival for victims of cardiac arrest. RETURN TO MAIN PAGE

Mental Health You are in: Public Health Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) The Importance of CPR Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the United States. Each year, almost half a million Americans die from a heart attack. Half of these, or one quarter of a million people, will die suddenly, outside of the hospital, because their heart stops beating. The most common cause of death from a heart attack in adults is a disturbance in the electrical rhythm of the heart called ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation can be treated, but it requires applying an electrical shock to the chest called defibrillation.

Asthma Cholesterol Crohn Disease Diabetes ... Mental Health You are in: Public Health Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) CPR in Children Sudden cardiac arrest is uncommon in children. It usually happens when there is a lack of oxygen caused by a breathing problem such as choking, near-drowning, or respiratory infections. Because ventricular fibrillation is less common in children than it is in adults, getting a defibrillator to the scene is not as urgent as it is for an adult. So, when an unresponsive, nonbreathing child is found, CPR is performed for 1 minute before activating the EMS system. This may reverse the lack of oxygen and revive the child.

CPR is a combination of: Rescue breathing, which provides oxygen to a person's lungs Chest compressions, which keep the person's blood circulating. Permanent brain damage or death can occur within minutes if a person's blood flow stops. Therefore, you must continue these procedures until the person's heartbeat and breathing return, or trained medical help arrives. Considerations Return to top CPR can be lifesaving, but it is best performed by those who have been trained in an accredited CPR course. The procedures described here are not a substitute for CPR training. (See www.americanheart.org
