What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used in cardiac emergencies. Cardiac arrest happens if the heart unexpectedly stops beating. Without a heartbeat, the heart cannot pump oxygen-containing blood to the body's major organs like the brain and liver. As a result, severe brain damage occurs within four minutes without an oxygen supply, and death occurs within ten minutes. CPR manually pumps oxygenated blood to the organs when cardiovascular complications prevent the heart from doing so on its own.

What is the correct way to perform CPR?

A healthcare provider, rescuers, and CPR certified bystanders must perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation as soon as possible after a cardiac arrest victim collapses to give them the best chance of survival. To begin, rescuers should check the victim for responsiveness and determine if they have a pulse. If there is no pulse, they should call 911 and immediately begin CPR. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that rescuers use the following guidelines when performing CPR:

1. Rescuers should place their hands on top of one another, keep the arms straight, and position their body directly above the victim’s chest.
2. Pump the victim’s chest to perform rapid compressions at a rate of 2 compressions per second. Ensure that each compression presses a minimum depth of 2 inches into the chest.
3. Continue to perform compressions until emergency support arrives. Do not stop compressions until emergency personnel can take over. Do not take breaks for more than a few seconds at a time, no longer than 10 seconds.
4. Hands-only CPR or Compressions-only CPR is the most basic technique recommended for rescuers who are not CPR certified. It is the simplest method to perform while receiving phone instructions from a 911 operator. If a rescuer is CPR certified, it is recommended that they perform rescue breathing in cases where the victim is not breathing on their own.
5. Rescuers must clear the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the chin to perform rescue breathing. Placing their mouth on top of the victim’s mouth, rescuers will deliver one rescue breath, looking to see if the victim’s chest rises. If it does rise, the rescuer may return to performing chest compressions once they confirm that the victim’s breath has returned. If the chest does not rise, give the second breath, then resume chest compressions. Use a 30:2 ratio of compressions to breaths until emergency medical support arrives and can take over.

What are the guidelines for performing CPR at different ages?

The adult and adolescent CPR guidelines described above differ slightly from child CPR and CPR for infants. For smaller children, rescuers may only need to use one hand for chest compressions, which should press down only 1/3 of the total depth of the chest. In infants, only several fingers may be required to perform compressions. Rescuers should use the appropriate force when dealing with victims of varying ages and sizes for compressions and rescue breathing.

What is the procedure for treating electroshock?

Electrocution can range from mild to severe. To treat an electroshock victim, rescuers should call 911 and check for signs that the victim requires CPR. 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 don't receive electroshock themselves. Raising the victim's legs above their heart will increase the blood pressure to prevent fainting.
