CPR- A LIFESAVING ACTION
When an adult has a sudden cardiac arrest, his or her survival depends greatly on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby.

Unfortunately, less than 1/3 of those people who experience a cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location get that help. Most bystanders are worried that they might do something wrong or make things worse. That’s why the AHA has simplified things.

Don’t be afraid. Your actions can only help.

First of all call 911 or EMS..

1.COMPRESSION ONLY CPR
When you see an adult collapse..

•   See if patient is responding by tapping her shoulder and shouting loudly.

IF PATIENT IS UNRESPONSIVE
•   Have another bystander activate EMS, if alone call yourself.

2. PERFORM INITIAL ASSESSMENT

•   Establish an airway using head tilt, chin lift

• Look, listen, feel for breathing.

PATIENT IS NOT BREATHING

3.PERFORM CONTINUOS CHEST COMPRESSIONS

•   Place heel of hands on the centre of chest in b/t nipples.
•   Perform continuous compressions at the rate of about 100 times per minute.
•   Compress fast , deep, allow chest to fully , expand and minimize interruptions to compressions.
•   Stop only if allow another provider or EMS to take over
