Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation has three major parts: chest compression’s, rescue breaths, and automated external defibrillation (AED). These skills are all used when a victim’s heart has stopped and/or isn’t breathing properly to keep blood flowing throughout the body.
Hands-only CPR is for rescuers who have not been trained in providing rescue breaths or was trained but isn’t confident in their skills to perform it. Before starting CPR, be sure to call for emergency help.
- With the heel of your hand in the middle of the chest, place your other hand on top of it and link your fingers together.
- Lock your elbows and use your body weight to push down on the chest by at least 2 inches.
- Allow chest to recoil before making another compression.
