Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

The document defines cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as an emergency procedure using chest compressions and artificial ventilation to manually preserve brain function until spontaneous circulation and breathing can be restored in a person experiencing cardiac arrest. It lists the learning objectives and indications for CPR, equipment used, and steps of the procedure which include checking for responsiveness, calling for help, giving 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths in sets until an AED is available or emergency services arrive. Students are assigned to research complications of CPR.

3 DEFINITION

spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is
in cardiac arrest.

for CPR.
• No Pulse: If a pulse can’t be felt, the heart may have stopped.

6 PROCEDURE

• CHECK the scene for safety, form an initial impression and use personal
protective equipment (PPE).

threatening bleeding or other life-threatening conditions using shout-tap-shout.
• If the person does not respond and is not breathing or only gasping, CALL 9-1-
