CPR is a life-saving technique performed when someone's heart stops beating or they stop breathing. It involves chest compressions to manually pump the heart and deliver oxygen to vital organs until emergency services arrive. The steps of CPR are assessed using the DRAB method - check for Danger, get no Response, open the Airway, and check for no Breathing. If there is no breathing, chest compressions are performed by placing hands on the sternum and pushing hard and fast at a rate of 100-120 times per minute. After 30 compressions, 2 rescue breaths are given by tilting the head back and breathing into the mouth. CPR should continue until emergency services take over, signs of life return, or
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions and artificial ventilation to manually preserve brain function until further measures can restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person experiencing cardiac arrest. CPR should be performed if a person is unconscious, unresponsive, or not breathing normally. Untrained individuals should provide hands-only CPR with continuous chest compressions, while trained individuals should perform 30 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths. Learning CPR empowers individuals to help those in need in emergency situations and can decrease the risk of brain damage or death by providing immediate assistance until emergency services arrive.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure performed when a person's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. CPR involves chest compressions to manually pump blood to vital organs and artificial ventilation to oxygenate the blood.

2. CPR IS A PIVOTAL AND COMMON PROCEDURE
WHILE DEALING WITH UNRESPONSIVE
UNCONSIOUS VICTIM.
• CPR has for 50 years consisted of the combination of
artificial blood circulation with artificial respiration (also
known as mouth-to-mouth (MTM)) i.e., chest
compressions and lung ventilation. However, in March
2008 the American Heart Association, in an historic
reversal, endorsed the effectiveness of chest
compressions alone--without artificial respiration--for
adult victims who collapse suddenly in cardiac arrest
(see Cardio cerebral Resuscitation below).
• CPR is generally continued, usually in the presence of
advanced life support, until the patient regains a heart
beat (called "return of spontaneous circulation" or
"ROSC") or is declared dead.

5. PURPOSES:-
CPR is unlikely to restart the heart, but rather its purpose is to
maintain a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and the
heart, thereby delaying tissue death and extending the brief
window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without
permanent brain damage.
Defibrillation and advanced life support are usually needed to
restart the heart.
CPR is a combination of:
Rescue breathing, which provides oxygen to a person's
lungs.
Chest compressions, which keep the person's blood
circulating. 5

8. Scientific principles:
• In essence, Cardio (heart) Pulmonary (lung) Resuscitation (revive, revitalize)
serves as an artificial heartbeat and an artificial respirator.
• If a pulse is not present, a precordial thump to the mid-sternum may be tried.
• Subsequently, check “ABC’s” of BLS.
• The mouth and phar-ynx should be examined for no obstruction/foreign body.
• The tongue should be removed from the posterior pharynx by tilting the head
backward and hyperextending the neck.
• If no breathing is noted, mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose breathing should
be initiated in four quick breaths. One should check chest rises with each
ventilation.
• If a carotid pulse is not present after the initial ventilations, external cardiac
compression over the lower half of the sternum ( N/o xiphoid process) should
be initiated. The ster-num should be depressed 3 to 5 cm, with the patient
lying on a flat hard surface.
• Compressions should be approximately 60 per minute, with a ratio of 5
compressions to 1 ventilation if two res-cuers are present. A single rescuer
must give 15 chest compressions alternating with two venti-lations every 15
seconds. 8

• DO NOT try make the victim
drink water.
• DO NOT throw water on the
victim's face.
• DO NOT prompt the victim into
a sitting position.
• DO NOT try to revive the victim
by slapping his face

16. • Before you start any rescue
efforts, you must remember to
check the victim for responsiveness.
Responsiveness.
• Otherwise, shake the victim gently and shout
"Are you okay?" to see if there is any
response. If the victim is someone you
know, call out his name as you shake him.
If suspect - spinal
or neck injury, do
not move or
shake him.
• check the A-B-C
Airway Breathing Circulation
If there is no
response

17. "A" is for
AIRWAY
• Look, listen and feel for
any signs of breathing.
If you determine that the
victim is not
breathing, then the tongue
is the most common
airway obstruction in an
unconscious person.

20. • If the person is still not
breathing on his own after the
airway has been cleared, you
will have to assist him breathing
"B" is for
BREATHING
• Gently support his chin so as to
keep it lifted up and the head
tilted back. (Hyper extended
neck)

24. "C" is for
CIRCULATION
• In order to determine if the victim's heart is
beating, place two fingertips on his carotid
artery, located in the depression between the
windpipe and the neck muscles (Figure 5), and
apply slight pressure for several seconds.
• If there is no pulse then the victim's heart is
not beating, and you will have to perform
chest compressions
24
Pavan Kumar Jain,Assistant Prof.

28. The depth of compressions
should be approximately
1½ to 2 inches - remember:
2 hands, 2 inches (Figure
3).

29. Count aloud as you compress 30 times
at the rate of about 3 compressions
for every 2 seconds. Finish the cycle
by giving the victim 2 breaths. This
process should be performed four
times - 30 compressions and 2 breaths
- after which remember to check the
victim's carotid artery for pulse and
any signs of consciousness.

30. If there is no pulse, continue performing 30
compressions/2 breaths, checking for pulse after
every 4 cycles until help arrives.
If you feel a pulse (i.e. the victim's heart is beating)
but the victim is still not breathing, rescue breaths
should be administered, one rescue breath every
five seconds (remember to pinch the nose to
prevent air from escaping). After the first rescue
breath, count five seconds and if the victim does
not take a breath on his own, give another rescue
breath.
