1. CPR Guidelines
Mr. Corbin

2. Overview
• CPR (cardiopulmonary respiration) for:
• Adults
• Children
• Infants

3. Adult CPR
Guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA)

4. Before Adult CPR
• Step 1: Check the scene and
victim
• If victim is conscious, ask them
“Are you OK?”
• Step 2: Call 911
• If more than 1 person present,
send someone to find AED and call
911, while one person starts giving
aid.

5. Before Adult CPR
• Step 3: Open the airway
• With victim on back, tilt head
slightly to back lift chin.
• Step 4: If victim is not breathing
begin CPR

6. Adult CPR
• Start with compressions
• Rate should be between 100-120
compressions a minute
• Compression Depth: at least 2
inches
• Compression/ Ventilation Ratio
• 30:2
• Give thirty compressions then two
breaths
• Allow for full recoil after each
compression (Do NOT lean on
victim)

7. Child CPR
Guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA)

8. Child CPR
• If only 1 rescuer: begin CPR
immediately. Do NOT wait and
call 911 first.
• Immediate CPR on children leads
to a 70% higher survival rate.
• Give compressions for 2 minutes
then call 911.
• If multiple rescuers: one person
should call 911.
• Someone should also look for
AED.

9. Child CPR
• Open Airway
• Start with compressions
• Rate should be between 100-120
compressions a minute
• Compression Depth: ~ 2 inches
• Compression/ Ventilation Ratio
• 30:2 (15:2 if 2 or more responders)
• Give thirty compressions then two
breaths (or 15 then two breaths)
• Allow for full recoil after each
compression (Do NOT lean on
victim)

10. Infant CPR
Guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA)

11. Infant CPR
• If only 1 rescuer: begin CPR
immediately. Do NOT wait and
call 911 first.
• Immediate CPR on children leads
to a 70% higher survival rate.
• Give compressions for 2 minutes
then call 911.
• If multiple rescuers: one person
should call 911.

12. Infant CPR
• Compression Placement:
• 1 rescuer: 2 fingers in the center
of the chest, just below the nipple
line
• 2 or more rescuers: 2 thumb–
encircling hands in the center of
the chest, just below the nipple
line
Two-Thumb encircling hands technique

13. Infant CPR
• Open Airway
• Start with compressions
• Rate should be between 100-120
compressions a minute
• Compression Depth: 1 ½ inches
• Compression/ Ventilation Ratio
• 30:2 (15:2 if 2 or more responders)
• Give thirty compressions then two
breaths (or 15 then two breaths)
• Allow for full recoil after each
compression (Do NOT lean on
victim)

14. General Rules
• Do NOT continue CPR if scene is
unsafe for rescuer or victim
• It is unsafe to continue CPR if
you are exhausted
• Exhausted rescuers tend to lean
on victims more, restricting proper
airflow.
