III. Essay (5 points each) Explain the following.


1. Chest compression (Adult)
If you have been trained in CPR, including rescue breaths, and feel confident using your
skills, you should give chest compressions with rescue breaths.
If you're not completely confident, attempt hands-only CPR instead.
In adults the following are must to follow in doing CPR:
 Place the heel of your hand on the centre of the person's chest, then place the
other hand on top and press down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) at a steady rate of
100 to 120 compressions a minute.
 After every 30 chest compressions, give 2 rescue breaths.
 Tilt the casualty's head gently and lift the chin up with 2 fingers. Pinch the person's
nose. Seal your mouth over their mouth, and blow steadily and firmly into their
mouth for about 1 second. Check that their chest rises. Give 2 rescue breaths.
 Continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until they begin
to recover or emergency help arrives.

2. Rescue breath using head tilt-chin lift maneuver.


The head tilt-chin lift is accomplished by tilting the head back on the atlanto-occipital
joint while keeping the mouth closed (teeth approximated). This technique may be
augmented by elevating the occiput 1 to 4 inches above the level of the shoulders (sniffing
position) as long as the larynx and posterior pharynx stay in their original position. The head
tilt-chin lift is the simplest and first airway maneuver used in resuscitation, but it should be
used with extreme caution in patients with suspected neck injuries.
In some patients, the cervical spine is stiff enough that elevating the head into the
sniffing position also elevates the C4-5 laryngeal area, leaving the airway unimproved. In
children younger than 5 years, the upper cervical spine is more flexible and can bow
upward, forcing the posterior pharyngeal wall upward against the tongue and epiglottis and
exacerbating an obstruction. A child's airway is usually best maintained by leaving the head
in a more neutral position than that described for an adult.

3. Recovery position
The recovery position in first aid training is the way that you pose a person to keep their
airway open and prevent vomit or other fluid from choking them when they are
unconscious. Note that if someone has experienced a cardiac arrest, is unconscious and not
breathing, or breathing abnormally, you do not use the recovery position. In this case, lay
them flat on their back and begin CPR. Some situations don’t call for such drastic measures.
If the person is still breathing with a strong heartbeat, use the recovery position instead if
CPR.
