1. A BRIEF ON “CPR” TECHNIQUE
“Your friend’s life is in your hand, your little
awareness can save their life. Hence, let us
be Social”

2. Basic of our Life
• Our body is made up of Cells and various
other system which keep us alive.
• These cells and system need Oxygen and
various Nutrition to keep themselves working
as fuel.
• Fuel we inhale as Oxygen further filtered in
lung, here the oxygen is mixed with blood
along with nutrition.
• This is circulated by our Heart by pumping
them by use of veins

3. What is CPR:
• It is a known word for “ CardioPulmonary
Resuscitation”.
• This is a technique to keep your brain & cells
alive for few crucial moments by pumping
patient’s heart manually that help to circulate
the blood that contains Oxygen and various
other Nutrition to keep your cells alive and
brain to response the system.

4. How does Heart stop beating?
There are numerous causes of cardiac arrests
where the Heart stop pumping, including:
• A disturbance in the heart rhythm
• Drugs/poisoning
• Heart disease / a heart attack
• Traumatic injury/blood loss
• Anaphylaxis

5. When it is done?
• When someone’s heart stop pumping/
beating.
i.e there is cardiac arrest then we need to
initiate CPR as soon as possible until a electrical
shock(Not General) is not given or until a
suggestion from doctor.

6. How to perform adult CPR
• If you ever find yourself in an emergency
situation where someone is ill or injured then you
will need to perform a primary survey.
• The primary survey is a quick way to assess
casualties. It can easily be remembered by the
letters D R A B. If you ever find yourself in an
emergency situation then all you need to
remember is DRAB and you will be able
to systematically assess your patient and decide
what to do.
• D: Danger R: Response A: Airway B: Breathing

7. D: Danger
• Check to see if there are any dangers to
yourself or the casualty.
• Try and make the scene as safe as possible,
remember YOU are the most important
person.
• If the area is too dangerous then stay back and
call the emergency services.

8. R: Response
• Attempt to wake the person up by shouting
loudly in both ears and tapping them on the
shoulders
• The difference between being asleep and being
unconsciousness is that an unconscious person
will not wake up.
• When someone goes unconscious, they loose
muscle tone.
• The tongue (a muscle) can block their airway
when it looses muscle tone.

9. A: Airway
• The airway is a series of tubes which caries air
from your mouth & nose to your lungs. It can
become blocked by the tongue and regurgitation
of stomach contents. This will stop the casualty
from breathing and can quickly cause death.
• You need to open the airway by tilting the head
backwards and lifting the chin with two fingers as
demonstrated in the picture of next slide.

10. Performing the task to open Airway

11. B: Breathing
• Keep your hands on the person’s head & chin. Place
your cheek above their mouth and look at their chest.
• Look, listen and feel for regular breathing for up to 10
seconds. You are assessing for normal breathing. The
occasional gasping or snoring sound is not regular
breathing and should be treated as no breathing.
• You do not need to check for a pulse, as this often
wastes valuable time. If a public defibrillator (AED) is
available, then it should be sent for immediately.

12. Performing CPR on an adult

13. • Once you found that the DRAB has not helped
you i.e patient is not breathing, immediately you
should go for the CPR by considering few point.
• Ask someone to call or call Ambulance or
Emergency team.
• Interlock your hands and place them in the
middle of the person’s chest (over the sternum /
breastbone)
• The rate of compression should be 100-120 per
minute.
• The breast should be compressed up to 1.5 to 2
inches, that ensure a proper pumping of heart.

14. Performing rescue breath:
• After 30 chest compressions, you should give 2
rescue breaths. Tilt the casualty’s head
backwards, make a seal over their mouth using
filter and breath in twice. Each breath should only
last about one second so as not to over inflate
their lungs.
• This must be done by using a filter cover provided
by CleanMax in the First Aid box by following the
instruction given over there.(Put the cover at
face, insert the filter in mouth and start breaths)

16. When you should stop performing CPR?
You should only stop doing CPR if:
• A defibrillator arrives and is about to be used
• The casualty shows signs of life: coughing,
breathing etc.
• You are asked to stop by a healthcare professional
(ambulance crew etc.)
• You become too exhausted to continue
• The situation suddenly becomes too dangerous

17. Points to be remembered:
• Don’t forgot to inform the medical emergency
squad such as Ambulance and the doctor for the
further immediate responses.
• Inform the responsible person of team
meanwhile the CPR.
• Don’t stop until any help arrives or asked to stop
by a professional or if it is really required.
• Don’t worry about fractures of bones.
• Press with full energy to ensure a good
compression, you can ask other person who is
beside to perform the same if tired.
