I’ve done it on an adult, kid, and Infant dummies. The experience was fun and it was nice to learn how to save others in times of need. I look to doing a certified class in the future, since medical areas as always been my wanted choice of Career. ]]> 2020-05-11 12:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/manjot_dhanoa/xq8dpiqu33sg15cm/wish/564626971 manjot_dhanoa https://padlet.com/manjot_dhanoa/xq8dpiqu33sg15cm/wish/564628397

Rescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose breathing if the mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened. With the airway open, pinch the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the person's mouth with yours, making a seal.

Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath — lasting one second — and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt, “chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath” (P.g 10). Thirty chest compressions “followed by two rescue breaths is considered one cycle” (P.g 10).

Continue CPR until a medical professional arrives.

If you're trained in CPR and you've performed 30 chest compressions, open the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin lift maneuver. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway.

Check for normal breathing, taking no more than five or 10 seconds. Look for chest motion, listen for normal breath sounds, and feel for the person's breath on your cheek and ear. Gasping is “not considered to be normal breathing” (P.g 10). If the person isn't breathing normally and you are trained in CPR, begin mouth-to-mouth breathing.

Put the person on his or her back on a firm surface.

Kneel next to the person's neck and shoulders.

Place the heel of one hand over the center of the person's chest, between the nipples. Place your other hand on top of the first hand. Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands.

Use your upper body weight as you push straight down on the chest at least 2 inches. Push hard at a rate of about 100 compressions a minute.

If you haven't been trained in CPR, continue chest compressions until there are signs of movement or until emergency medical personnel take over. If you have been trained in CPR, go on to “checking the airway and rescue breathing” (P.g 9).

• Is the person conscious or unconscious?
• If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask loudly, "Are you OK?"
• If the person doesn't respond and 2 people are available, one should call 911 one should begin CPR. If you’re alone and have immediate access to a telephone, call 911 before beginning CPR, unless you think the person has become unresponsive because of suffocation. In that case, begin CPR for “one minute and then call 911” (P.g 9). 
• If an AED is immediately available, deliver one shock if instructed by the device, then begin CPR.

Untrained = Provide hands- only CPR - > uninterrupted chest compressions of about 100 a minute until paramedics arrive. You don't need to try rescue breathing.

Trained = Begin with chest compressions instead of first checking the airway and doing rescue breathing. Start CPR with 30 chest compressions before checking the airway and giving rescue breaths.

Trained but Rusty = Do chest compressions at a rate of about 100 a minute.

Thus all applies to adults, children and infants needing CPR, but not newborns. CPR can keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more definitive medical treatment can restore a normal heart rhythm. When the heart stops, the lack of oxygenated blood can cause “brain damage in only a few minutes” (P.g 9). To learn CPR properly, take an accredited first-aid training course, including CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). If you are untrained and have immediate access to a phone, call 911 before beginning CPR. The dispatcher can instruct you in the proper procedures until help arrives.]]> 2020-05-11 12:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/manjot_dhanoa/xq8dpiqu33sg15cm/wish/564633715
