Administer one shock and resume CPR right from starting with chest compression and rescue breathing for two more minutes before administering the second shock. Do not use AED for babies younger than 1 year ago. Use Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if available & follows the process. Perform about 5 cycles of CPR and check any signs of improvement.That is 30 chest compression followed by 2 mouth to mouth breathing. Follow the same compression-breathe rate as used for adults.Use both the hands or if the child is too small use single hand for chest compression.Perform about 5 cycles of CPR for about 2 minutes on the child, each cycle should take 18-20 seconds.The Procedure for CPR on a child (1-8 year) is the same as adults. Continue CPR until some signs of improvement or till medical operator arrives.
If AED is not available then go to next step. If you don’t know about the usage of AED, ask medical operator assistance. If the person has not shown any signs of improvement after 5 cycles of CPR, then if AED (Automated External Defibrillator) available, administer 1 shock, follow the process and resume the CPR starting with chest compression, for 2 minutes and then administer the 2nd shock.Resume chest compression to restore circulation.Do not provide too much breath at a time and with too much force. 30 chest compression followed by 2 rescue breaths are considered as 1 cycle in CPR. If the chest rises then give second breath and if the chest doesn’t rise, repeat head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath. The first breath for 1 second & check if the chest rises. Pinch the victim’s nostrils and close the person’s mouth with yours & making it a seal to provide mouth to mouth breathing.Rescue breathing includes mouth to mouth breathing or mouth to nose breathing if the mouth can’t be opened or seriously injured. Rescue Breathing: (Mouth To Mouth Breathing) If you are not trained in handling emergency situations, continue chest compressions. If the person is not breathing normally, then begin mouth to mouth breathing only if you are trained in CPR. Check their chest motion & breathing sound on your cheek & ear. Check & listen to normal breathing sounds for about 5 to 10 seconds.Perform 30 chest compression’s & open the person’s airway by placing your palm on person’s forehead and gently tilt their head back, and with the other hand gently forward the chin to open the airway. If you are trained in CPR, then perform the next steps.And if you are trained in CPR then continue Checking airway & rescue breathing. Continue giving chest compression until any signs of movement.Make use of your body weight and push down the person’s chest for at least 2 inches and give chest compression at a rate of about 100 to 120 compression per minute.Place your other hand above the first & interlace your fingers. Place the heel of your one hand at the center of the person’s chest.Place/ keep the person on a firm flat surface.CAB stands for Compression, airway & Breathing.Ĭhest Compression: To Restore the blood flow circulation In CPR, CAB is the common abbreviation that helps people in performing different steps of CPR. If AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is available immediately, deliver one shock and then resume CPR.If the person appears to be unconscious call emergency ambulance serviceshelpline and start the CPR.Whether the person is breathing, conscious or unconscious? And check the pulse not more than 10 seconds to know about the heartbeat.Check whether the person is in the safe place with proper ventilation.Perform one cycle CPR i.e., 30 chest compression & then check the airway & give 2 rescue breaths.Ĭheck the following things before beginning CPR: If you are trained in CPR, then perform chest compression at first then check and open the airway and perform rescue breathing/ mouth to mouth breathing.If you are not trained in CPR, then perform hands-only CPR i.e., performing uninterrupted chest compression of about 100-120 per minute.Your effort of doing something could save someone’s life. It’s far better to do something in emergencies to save a life than doing nothing.
CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure useful in heart attack, drowning conditions where someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
