Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure the area is safe for both you and the victim before intervening in any emergency situation.
• 😀 Call for help immediately when encountering someone experiencing cardiac arrest, and get assistance from those nearby.
• 😀 If the victim is unresponsive, kneel down and check for signs of life, like breath or pulse, within 5-10 seconds.
• 😀 If there are no signs of life, begin chest compressions immediately, aiming for a depth of 5-6 cm and a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
• 😀 Perform 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. This cycle should be repeated until help arrives or the victim shows signs of life.
• 😀 If you're worried about disease transmission, use a face shield or other protective equipment to perform CPR safely.
• 😀 In a non-pandemic situation, you can perform rescue breaths directly, but always maintain the rhythm of compressions and breaths.
• 😀 Regularly monitor the victim's pulse while performing CPR to adjust your efforts if necessary. If there’s still no pulse, continue with the compressions and breaths.
• 😀 If you feel fatigued while performing CPR, enlist the help of someone else to take over to maintain effective compressions.
• 😀 In the case of an unconscious but breathing victim, place them in the recovery position to keep their airways open and prevent choking from the tongue.

Q & A

What should be the first step when encountering someone who suddenly collapses from a heart attack?

The first step is to ensure the area is safe for both you and the victim. If the area is dangerous, it should be secured before approaching the person.

What is the recommended action if the person is unresponsive when you call their name?

If the person is unresponsive, you should kneel next to them and check for signs of breathing or movement. If there is no response, you should seek immediate help from bystanders or call for emergency services.

How do you check if a person is breathing or has a pulse?

To check if the person is breathing, visually observe their chest for movement. For a pulse, you can palpate their neck or wrist. This should be done within 5-10 seconds.

What does it mean if a person has agonal breathing?

Agonal breathing refers to irregular, abnormal, or struggling breaths, often seen in cardiac arrest. It indicates that immediate intervention like CPR is required.

What is the correct technique for performing chest compressions during CPR?

To perform chest compressions, place your hands on the center of the chest, keeping your elbows straight and using your upper body weight to apply downward pressure. Compress the chest 30 times at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute, with a depth of 5-6 cm.

How many chest compressions and rescue breaths should be performed in one cycle of CPR?

In one cycle of CPR, perform 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. This cycle should be repeated until emergency help arrives or the person starts showing signs of recovery.

What should be done if you're concerned about infection while performing CPR?

If you're worried about infection, use a protective barrier such as a face shield or mask to perform rescue breaths. If no protective equipment is available, continue chest compressions without rescue breaths until help arrives.

What is the recommended action if you are feeling fatigued while performing CPR?

If you're fatigued while performing CPR, it is recommended to switch with another person if possible. This ensures that the compressions remain effective and at the proper rate.

What position should a person be placed in if they regain consciousness after CPR?

If the person regains consciousness and is breathing, they should be placed in the recovery position, lying on their side with their head tilted back to keep the airway open.

What should you do if a person is unconscious but still breathing after a heart attack?

If the person is unconscious but still breathing, avoid laying them flat on their back. Instead, place them in a side position (recovery position) to keep the airway clear and prevent choking.
