About CPR

75% of all cardiac arrests happen in people’s homes then you must use CPR. It is most successful when administered as quickly as possible. CPR should only be performed when a person is not breathing or circulating blood adequately. CPR has three basic parts. It is distinguished ABC. A is for airway. The victim’s airway must open for breathing. B is for breathing. It essentially, breaths by forcing air into lungs. C is for circulation. It should be coordinated with rescue breathing. When you have the CPR then first is call. Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, Call 911 and return to the victim. Second is 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. Last is pump. If the victim is still not breathing normally, Push down on the chest 15 times right between the nipples.
