The lesson demonstrates the student’s ability to learn and properly perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). At the completion of the lesson, students will be able to utilize life- saving skills in an emergency situation.

1. Adult, Child, and
Infant CPR

2. Heart Attack & Cardiac Arrest
O Heart Attack (myocardial infarction)
O Occurs when the heart muscle
tissue dies because it didn’t get
nough blood flow due to a blockage.
O Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
O When the heart stops beating from
irregular heart rhythm.

3. O Stroke
O occurs when something blocks blood
supply to part of the brain or when a blood
vessel in the brain bursts (Brain Attack)
O Commotio Cordis (Ventricular fibrillation)
O can happen to a person with a normal
heart and occurs when a blunt trauma to a
person’s chest
O occurs in children and adolescents

4. Damar Hamlin

5. Commotio Cordis

6. Caring for Cardiac Arrest
OChain of Survival
ORecognition and action
OCPR
ODefibrillation
OAdvanced care
OPost-arrest care

7. !!REMEMBER!!
O Before you ever perform any type of First
Aid, CPR, or AED you always….
OCHECK
OCALL
OCARE

8. CPR In Action

9. Performing CPR
O Check for responsiveness
O Tap and Shout “Are you OK?”
O Check for breathing
O Look, listen, and feel
O Call 9-1-1
O Perform CPR
O If victim is unresponsive and not breathing

10. Chest Compressions (Adult)
O Use 2 hands in center of chest
O Compression depth
O 2 inches
O Compression Rate
O 100 compressions per minute
O 30 compressions in 18 seconds
O Location
O Center of chest between nipples

11. Rescue Breathes
OAfter every 30 compressions:
OTilt the head and lift the chin.
OClose the nose.
OGive 2 breaths.
OSee the chest rise.

13. Child CPR
O Chest Compression
O Use 1 or 2 hands in center of chest between
nipples
O Compression depth of 2 inches
O Compression rate of 30 compressions in 18
seconds, or 100 per minute
O Rescue Breaths
O Tilt the head and lift the chin.
O Close the nose.
O Give 2 breaths.
O See the chest rise.

14. Infant CPR
O Chest Compression
O Use 2 fingers just below nipple line in center of chest
O Compression depth of 1 ½ inches (1/3 depth of
chest)
O Compression rate of 30 compressions in 18
seconds, or 100 per minute
O Rescue Breaths
O Tilt the head and lift the chin.
O Close the nose.
O Give 2 breaths.
O See the chest rise.

15. Adult, Child, and Infant CPR
Cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths
until:
O AED becomes available.
O Victim shows signs of life.
O EMS takes over.
O You are too tired to continue.
O Chest compressions alone are an
acceptable alternative.
O Provide continuous chest compressions.

17. Airway Obstruction
O Mild blockage
O Coughing forcefully
O Severe/complete blockage
O Weak, ineffective cough
O Unable to breathe or speak
O Common causes of obstruction
O Tongue, vomit, foreign body, swelling,
spasm

18. Caring for Airway Obstruction
O Responsive Adult or Child
O Perform Heimlich Maneuver
O Heimlich Maneuver
O Ask victim if they are choking (universal sign)
O Stand behind victim & locate the belly button
O Place thumb side of fist just above belly button
O Place other hand on top of first hand and give
abdominal thrusts until object is removed or until
victim becomes unresponsive

20. Caring for Airway Obstruction
O Responsive Infant
O If infant cannot cry, breathe, or cough
O Back blows and chest compressions
O Support the infants head and neck and lay the infant
face down on your forearm, then lower your arm to
your leg
O Give 5 back blows between shoulder blades with
heel of your hand
O While supporting head and back, roll infant over and
give 5 chest compressions with 2 fingers

22. Unresponsive Adult, Child,
and Infant Airway Obstruction
O When attempting CPR, if rescue breath fails to go
in…
O Retilt the head.
O Reattempt breath.
O Give 30 chest compressions.
O Check airway.
O Remove object if visible.

23. Review
Adult, Child, and
Infant CPR

24. Review Questions
O What is the difference between a heart attack
and cardiac arrest?
O Chain of Survival?
O Before you begin anything, always…?
O How many chest compressions?
O How many rescue breaths?
O Hand positioning?
O Differences between Adult, Child, and Infant
airway obstruction?
O Unresponsive airway obstruction?
