(Please ENROL and attend a CPR training course)
1. CALL
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is
no response, Call 000 and return to the victim. In
most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist
you with CPR instructions.
2. BLOW
Tilt the head back and listen for breathing. If not
breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth
with yours and blow until you see the chest rise.
Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 2 seconds
3. PUMP
If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing
or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down
on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 15 times right between
the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster
than once per second
CONTINUE WITH 2 BREATHS AND 15 PUMPS UNTIL
HELP ARRIVES
NOTE: This ratio is the same for one-person &
two-person CPR. In two-person CPR the person
pumping the chest stops while the other gives
mouth-to-mouth breathing
1. SHOUT AND TAP
Shout and gently tap the child on the shoulder. If there
is no response, position the infant on his or her back
2. OPEN THE AIRWAY
Open the airway using a head tilt lifting of chin. Do not
tilt the head too far back.
3. GIVE 2 GENTLE BREATHS
If the baby is NOT breathing give 2 small gentle
breaths. Cover the baby's mouth and nose with your
mouth. Each breath should be 1.5 to 2 seconds long.
You should see the baby's chest rise with each breath.
4. GIVE 5 GENTLE COMPRESSIONS
Give five gentle chest compressions at the rate of 100
per minute. Position your 3rd and 4th fingers in the
center of the chest half an inch below the nipples.
Press down only 1/2 to 1 inches.
5. REPEAT
Repeat with 1 breath and 5 compressions. After one
minute of repeated cycles call 000 and continue giving
breaths and compressions.
