An Amazing Story About How CPR Can Save Someone’s Life. http://firstresponderyeg.com/…/an-amazi ng-story-about-how-…/

When should you perform CPR? CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. When performing CPR, you are literally pumping the heart to maintain blood flow and oxygenation of the muscles and organs in the body. You should immediately start chest compressions if the person is unresponsive. This could be due to cardiac arrest. When someone has a cardiac arrest, they do not have pulse, and are not breathing (or not breathing normally). [ 29 more words ]

Is Continuous Compression Better than 30:2 Ratio? A recent study (2016) measured the CPR quality during 5 minutes of chest compressions. They had some participants perform continuous chest compressions, and others perform 30 compressions and give two breaths (30:2). After 5 minutes, they found that participants were able to deliver more compressions if they did not stop to give breaths (that's a no-brainer). [ 156 more words ]
