- Evaluate scenarios to determine when to call emergency services.
- Master CPR certification protocols and rescuer safety measures.
Cheat Sheet
- Master the C-A-B sequence - Think of CPR as your superhero routine: first chest compressions to jumpstart blood flow, then open the airway, and finish with rescue breaths. Following this C-A-B combo keeps your rescue mission on track!
- Hit the right compression depth - For adults, press down at least 2 inches (5 cm) but no more than 2.4 inches (6 cm) to ensure strong blood circulation. Too shallow or too deep and you might miss the beat!
- Keep the perfect pace - Aim for 100 to 120 compressions per minute - that's about the tempo of a lively pop song. Staying in rhythm optimizes the chance of reviving the heartbeat.
- Use the right infant technique - With two rescuers, wrap your hands around the baby's chest with thumbs on the sternum, or use two fingers if you're solo. This tailored touch ensures safe, effective compressions for tiny patients.
- Allow full chest recoil - Let the chest spring back completely after each compression so the heart refills with blood. Avoid leaning on the chest between pushes and keep the flow going!
- Open the airway properly - Tilt the head back and lift the chin to clear the path for breaths. This simple maneuver can make rescue breaths far more effective.
- Follow AED voice prompts - When using an Automated External Defibrillator, listen closely to its instructions and never touch the person during a shock. It's like having a coach whispering the playbook for you.
- Adjust depth for kids - For children, aim for compressions one-third the depth of the chest - around 2 inches (5 cm) - to match their smaller frame. Accurate depth boosts blood flow without causing harm.
- Call for help first - If someone is unresponsive or breathing abnormally, dial emergency services before you begin CPR. Fast activation of professional responders is key to winning the survival race.
- Practice to stay sharp - Regular practice and staying up-to-date with guidelines turns CPR skills into second nature. Confidence and readiness can mean the difference between panic and power in an emergency.
