CPR Presentation

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving technique performed during emergencies such as cardiac arrest, drowning, or severe choking. The procedure involves steps like ensuring safety, checking responsiveness, calling for help, and performing chest compressions using the C-A-B method, along with advanced airway management and defibrillation if necessary. CPR can be adapted for different age groups, and it is important to stop only when the victim shows signs of life, emergency personnel arrive, or the rescuer is unable to continue.

CARDIAC PULMONARY

RESUSCITATION
DEFINITION
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is
a life-saving technique used in
emergencies when the heart stops
beating or when breathing ceases.
WHEN TO PERFORM CPR:
1. Cardiac arrest (no pulse or breathing).
2. Drowning victims.
3. Severe choking or airway blockage.
4. Drug overdose or poisoning leading to
respiratory or cardiac arrest.
5. Electrocution injuries.
CPR STEPS OF PROCEDURE
(INSIDE THE HOSPITAL SETTINGS)

Step 1: Ensure Safety


Ensure the area around the patient is clear and safe for
resuscitation efforts.
Activate the hospital's Code Blue or emergency
response team if not already done.
Step 2: Check responsiveness
Tap the victim and ask, “Are you okay?”
Check for signs of life (e.g., movement, breathing,
pulse).

Allow full chest recoil between compressions.

Provide 2 breaths after every 30

Non-shockable rhythm (e.g., asystole or PEA):
Continue CPR and administer medications as
per hospital protocol.
CPR STEPS OF PROCEDURE
(OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL SETTINGS)

Step 1: Ensure safety


Check the environment for safety before approaching the
victim.
Step 2: Check responsiveness
Tap the victim and ask, “Are you okay?”
If unresponsive, call for help.

Step 3: Call emergency services


Dial the local emergency number (e.g., 911).
Step 4: Start chest compressions (C-A-B method):
C: Compressions:
Place hands in the center of the chest.
Push hard and fast, at least 2 inches deep, at a rate of 100-
120 compressions per minute.
A: Airway:
Open the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the chin.
B: Breathing:
Provide 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions (if trained).
CPR STEPS OF PROCEDURE
(FOR A CHILD)

CPR for Infants and Children


Infants:
Use two fingers for compressions.
Push 1.5 inches deep, at the same rate as for adults.
Children (1–8 years):
Use one hand for chest compressions.
Push 2 inches deep, with a compression-to-breath ratio of
30:2.
WHEN TO STOP CPR
The victim regains consciousness or
starts breathing.
Emergency medical personnel arrive
and take over.
You are physically unable to continue.
AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED)
A portable device used to deliver a shock to restore a normal AED
heart rhythm.

STEPS TO USE AN AED:


Turn on the AED and follow the prompts.
Attach the pads to the victim’s bare chest.
Ensure no one is touching the victim while delivering the shock.
Resume CPR immediately after the shock.
COMPLICATIONS OF CPR
Rib fractures or chest injuries.
Vomiting due to stomach pressure.
Fatigue for the rescuer.
