Study Notes
Basic Life Support & CPR
- Check pulse within 5-10 seconds
- If no pulse, start CPR and get AED
Recovery Position
- 4 steps to make recovery position
- Put the hand closest to you under the head
- Give CPR: 30 compressions, 2 breaths, and 5-10 seconds
CPR Steps
- Call 998
- Check pulse within 10 seconds
- If no pulse, start CPR
- 30 compressions, 2 breaths, and 5-10 seconds
- Continue CPR until AED arrives
Airway Breathing Circulation (ABC)
- Check for safety first
- Response: tap the shoulder and shout loudly, "Are you all right?"
- Airway: open the airway by tilting the head back
- Breathing: check for breathing
- Circulation: check pulse
Compression Ratio
- Adult: 30:2 compression to ventilation ratio
AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
- Use AED within 10 seconds
- Do not stop CPR, continue until AED arrives
Important Reminders
- Remember: 30 compressions, 2 breaths, and 5-10 seconds
- Use both hands for compression, with one hand on the chest and the other on the back
- Keep going, don't stop CPR
Test your knowledge on Basic Life Support & CPR techniques including introduction, safety measures, response procedures, airway management, breathing techniques, circulation methods, AED usage, and recovery positions. Understand when to stop CPR and how to handle a victim who wakes up or if you become tired during the process.
