CPR combines chest compressions with ventilation to preserve brain function. Recommended for unresponsive victims with no breathing or abnormal breathing. Compressions should be 5-6 cm deep at 100-120 compressions/minute. Compression-to-breathing ratio is 30:2 for adults, 15:2 for children
Guidelines apply to infants and children under 18 years. Cardiorespiratory arrests in children are usually secondary to hypoxia. Regular training in paediatric BLS is essential. CPR should start immediately with first person on scene
CPR is emergency treatment for stopped breathing or heartbeat. American Heart Association recommends chest compressions for all ages. CPR can save lives by restoring oxygen-rich blood flow
CPR is lifesaving for unresponsive victims with stopped breathing or heart. Hands-only CPR recommended for untrained rescuers. CPR can be performed on adults, children, infants, and pets. Call emergency services immediately if victim is unresponsive
CPR restores heartbeats and breathing in cardiac arrest victims. Performing CPR doubles or triples survival chances. Permanent brain damage can occur after four minutes without oxygen
CPR is lifesaving emergency procedure for heart stopping. Can double or triple survival chances. Anyone can perform CPR, not just trained professionals
