Rescue breathing:
For adults: position the resuscitation mask, tilt the head back and lift the chin to open airway, breathe into the mask: give one rescue breath every 5 seconds(1-one thousand,2-one thousand,3-one thousand, inhale and breathe),do this no more than 2 minutes-24 times, watch the chest clearly rise when giving each rescue breath.
After 2 minutes(24 times): remove the mask, look for movements, check for breathing and pulse for not more than 10 seconds (1-one thousand-10-one thousand)
For infants and child: position resuscitation mask and give 1 rescue breath every 3 seconds (1-one thousand, inhale, breathe into the mask), do this 2 minutes, 40 times.
After 2 minutes (40 times): remove the mask, look for movements, check for breathing and pulse for not more than 10 seconds (1-one thousand-10-one thousand)
If there is pulse, but still no movement or breathing-continue rescue breathing
If there is no movement, breathing or pulse- begin cpr
If there is movement, breathing and a pulse-place the victim in recovery position cpr (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)
For adult and child: place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest, place the other hand on top, give 30 chest compression, (for adults 1.5-2 inches, for a child 1-1.5 inches ) a rate of about 100 compressions per minute, replace the resuscitation mask and give 2 rescue breaths. Give rescue breaths that make the chest clearly rise. Do cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until:
Another trained rescuer arrives and takes over
An AED is available and ready to use
You are too exhausted to continue
Scene become unsafe
You notice an obvious sign of life.
CPR for infant: place two or three fingers on the center of the chest, just below the nipple line, keep one hand on the infant’s forehead to maintain an open airway. Give 30 chest compressions (½ -1 inch), a rate about 100 per minute. Replace mask and give 2 rescue breaths. Give rescue breaths that make the chest clearly rise. Do cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until:
Another trained rescuer arrives and takes over.
You are too exhausted to continue.
Scene become unsafe.
You notice an obvious sign of life.
Two rescuers CPR –adult:
Rescuer 1: conducts an initial assessment,
Rescuer 2: gets into position to give chest compressions,
When rescuer 1 says:”no pulse, begin CPR” rescuers 2 starts compression - for adult 30 compressions 1 ½ to 2 inches, then rescuer 1: replaces the mask and gives 2 rescue breaths
Rescuers change positions about every 2 minutes (5 cycles)
Rescuer 2 calls for a change of positions at the end of the fifth cycle by using the word “change” instead of the word “30”for adult → Rescuer 1 gives 2 rescue breaths, and moves into position at the victim chest and gives 30 chest compression → Rescuer 2 moves to the victim head and give 2 rescue breaths. Changing should take less than 5 seconds
Two rescuers CPR - child and infant:
Rescuer 2 will give 15 chest compressions about ½-1 inch
Rescuer 1 will give 2 rescue breaths
After 2 minutes they will change positions on same way.
Rescuer should continue performing CPR until: another trained rescuer arrives and takes over, rescuers are too exhausted to continue, scene become unsafe, an obvious sign of life detected.
