Review of Tonight's CPR Instruction

To review CPR, here are the basic steps:

1. Survey the area
2. ALWAYS use protection; WEAR GLOVES!
3. Shake the person/sternum rub/tickle infants feet, "Are you OK?"
4. CALL 911!!!
   
5. Check ABCs, head tilt, chin lift to open airway
   
6. Airway clear, no pulse, no breathing? Start CPR!
   
   1. 2 rescue breaths
   2. 30 compressions
   3. 2 rounds of that, recheck ABCs
      
7. Airway clean, pulse, but no breathing? Rescue Breathing!
   
   1. 2 breaths
   2. 5 seconds
   3. 5 times, recheck ABCs

Remember, on children only use one hand. On Infants, use 2 fingers. Also, don't blow a full breath into a child/infants lungs. An infant will only need the air in your cheeks to fill his/her lungs.

Also, "Once you pop, the fun don't stop." You only stop CPR if you are completely winded or help has arrived.
