Study Notes
CPR Sequence Overview
- CAB stands for Compressions, Airway, Breathing — crucial elements determining survival rates during cardiac emergencies.
Check for Response
- Begin by checking if the victim responds; look for blinking, moaning, or movement.
- Tap the shoulder and shout "Are you OK?"
- If there's no response, immediately call for help to activate emergency services.
Check for Breathing
- Assess the victim's breathing by scanning their face and chest for 5 to 10 seconds.
- If the individual is not breathing or is only gasping, start chest compressions without delay.
Compressions
- Place the victim face up on a firm, flat surface for effective compressions.
- Ensure clothing does not obstruct the chest area.
- Administer 30 continuous chest compressions at a rate of about 100-120 compressions per minute.
Airway Management
- After completing the 30 compressions, open the airway to prepare for rescue breaths.
- This involves tilting the head back slightly and lifting the chin.
Rescue Breathing
- Deliver 2 rescue breaths, each lasting about 1 second.
- Provide sufficient air to visibly cause the chest to rise.
- If the chest does not rise with the first attempt, recheck the airway and attempt one additional breath before resuming compressions.
