Science Project On CPR

1) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The American Heart Association recommends hands-only CPR with hard, fast chest compressions. 2) For untrained bystanders, provide hands-only CPR with uninterrupted chest compressions of 100-120 per minute until help arrives. For trained responders, perform 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. 3) Common signs of a heart attack include chest pain or tightness, pain in other areas like the arms, back or jaw, shortness of breath, nausea and sweating.

CPR or Cardio Pulmonary


Resuscitation, Which is a life saving
technique and warning sings before a
heart attack occurs.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving
technique that's useful in many emergencies, such as a
heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's
breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The American Heart
Association recommends starting CPR with hard and fast
chest compressions. This hands-only CPR recommendation
applies to both untrained bystanders and first responders.

If you're afraid to do CPR or unsure how to perform CPR


correctly, know that it's always better to try than to do nothing at
all. The difference between doing something and doing nothing
could be someone's life.
If you are untrained how to perform a CPR-
If you're not trained in CPR or worried about giving rescue breaths,
then provide hands-only CPR. That means uninterrupted chest
compressions of 100 to 120 a minute until paramedics arrive. You
don't need to try rescue
breathing.
If you are trained and ready to go-
Check to see if there is a pulse and breathing. If there is no pulse or
breathing within 10 seconds, begin chest compressions. Start CPR
with 30 chest compressions before giving two rescue breaths.
Trained but not sure to perform CPR correctly-
If you've previously received CPR training but you're not confident in
your abilities, then just do chest compressions at a rate of 100 to
120 a minute.
Before starting the CPR remember C-A-B
C: compressions
A: airway
B: breathing
Compressions: Restore blood flow
Compressions means you'll use your hands to push down hard and fast in a specific way
on the person's chest. Compressions are the most important step in CPR.
Airway: Open the airway
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.
Breathing: Breathe for the person
Rescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose breathing if the
mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened. Current recommendations suggest
performing rescue breathing using a bag-mask device with a high-efficiency particulate
