What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a technique used to save the life of a person who goes into cardiac arrest, which occurs when their heart stops beating unexpectedly. When the heart stops, it does not supply the body's major organs with the oxygen they usually receive from the blood. Without the heart providing oxygenated blood to the organs, they will suffer irreversible damage, which can be fatal without emergency care. Without oxygen, brain damage can occur after four minutes, and the victim can die within ten minutes. When the heart cannot do it on its own, CPR manually pumps blood to the organs.

What is the correct method for performing CPR?

Immediate action is critical to improving a victim's chance of survival during a cardiac arrest. Rescuers should check the victim for responsiveness and check their pulse. If there is no pulse, they should call 911, report a cardiac arrest to the operator, and begin CPR. The American Heart Association (AHA) uses the following guidelines for performing CPR:

1. Kneel above the victim's chest and place the hands on top of the other in the center of the chest.
2. Pump the victim's chest at least 2 inches deep with each compression at a rate of 100 - 120 compressions per minute. Continue to perform chest compressions until emergency medical care arrives on the scene and can take over.
3. If the victim is not breathing normally on their own, CPR-certified rescuers can perform rescue breathing.
4. Rescue breathing starts by opening the victim's airway by tilting the head back. Next, rescuers will seal their mouth over the victim's mouth, deliver one rescue breath, and observe whether the victim's chest rises. If the chest inflates, the rescuer may return to performing chest compressions only.
5. If the chest does not rise, rescuers should take a second breath before performing chest compressions.
6. Continue to deliver two rescue breaths following every 30 chest compressions until the victim is breathing normally or until emergency medical support arrives.

When is compression only CPR the recommended method?

Compressions-only, or hands only, CPR is recommended for individuals who have not received formal CPR training. Compressions-only CPR is the most straightforward technique, making it the easiest for anyone to perform effectively, even those who are uncertified. This method also allows rescuers to speak to 911 operators and receive instructions over the phone without interrupting compressions. Compressions-only CPR is also used when a victim breathes normally but does not have a pulse.

What is the recommended method for treating electroshock?

Electrocution injuries can range from mild to severe. Rescuers should call 911 and check for signs that the electroshock victim requires CPR, like the absence of a pulse. When possible, rescuers should turn off the power source that caused the shock and ensure that the victim is free from any electrical currents before touching them so they do not electrocute themselves. Raising the victim's legs above their heart will increase the blood pressure to prevent fainting while waiting for emergency responders to arrive.
