What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving procedure used during cardiac emergencies. Cardiac arrest happens if the heart unexpectedly stops beating. Blood contains oxygen, which the body's major organs, including the brain, need to survive. Without a heartbeat, the heart cannot pump blood to the organs, and without oxygen, severe brain damage occurs within four minutes, and death occurs within ten minutes. CPR manually pumps blood to the organs when cardiovascular complications prevent the heart from doing so itself. As a result, it increases the victim's chance of survival while waiting for Emergency Medical Services treatment.

What is the latest CPR protocol?

The American Heart Association (AHA) uses the following chain of survival to establish guidelines on how to perform CPR:

1. Recognize the situation as a cardiac arrest and call 911
2. Immediately begin to perform CPR, focusing on chest compressions
3. Rapid defibrillation.
4. Care by emergency medical personnel.
5. In-hospital life support and care.

Focusing on the bystander's ability to perform the first two steps, after checking for signs of life by assessing a victim's breathing and pulse, rescuers should check for responsiveness by tapping the victim and asking, "Are you okay?" If the victim does not respond and has no pulse, begin CPR. Basic CPR, or compression-only CPR, involves pumping the center of the victim's chest with both hands, at least 2 inches in depth, at a rate of 120 compressions per minute. Continue CPR until an emergency medical team arrives.

How many rescuers are needed to perform CPR?

One person can perform CPR effectively alone, but having at least two people present during a cardiac arrest is ideal. One person can begin chest compressions immediately, while the other rescuer can call 911 and retrieve the nearest Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if needed. A second rescuer can also assist in delivering compressions and rescue breathing if necessary. In situations where there is one rescuer, they should follow a pattern of 30:2 chest compressions to rescue breaths. When there are two responders, they should use a ratio of 15:2 and be sure to alternate positions every few minutes to prevent rescuer fatigue.

What is the recommended treatment for amputations?

When an appendage becomes amputated, rescuers should call 911 immediately, check the victim for signs of breathing and perform CPR if needed. To treat an amputation:

1. Apply direct pressure and elevate the affected area.
2. Position the victim by raising their legs twelve inches above their heart to increase blood pressure and decrease the likelihood of fainting.
3. Tightly wrap the amputated area with a clean bandage.
4. If possible, clean the amputated body part, wrap it in a bandage, and place it on ice.
5. Give the amputated part to emergency medical staff to accompany the victim to the hospital.
