The infographic titled as “Advice to follow before giving Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)”, methods to follow even if you’re untrained. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including a heart attack or near drowning.
It’s far better to do something than to do nothing, if you’re fearful that your awareness or skills aren’t 100 percent absolute. If you’re not trained in CPR, then provide hands-only CPR. That means uninterrupted chest compressions of 100 to 120 a minute until paramedics. You don’t need to try rescue breathing.
If you’re well-trained and confident in your ability, check to see if there is a pulse and breathing. If there is no breathing or a pulse within 10 seconds, begin chest compressions. Start CPR with 30 chest compressions before giving two rescue breaths. If you’ve previously received CPR training but you’re not confident in your abilities, then just do chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 a minute.
Notably, if you are untrained and have immediate access to a phone, call 911 or your local emergency number before giving CPR. To know more, please refer to the details mentioned n below infographic.
