CPR GuidelinesMr. Corbin
Overview• CPR (cardiopulmonary respiration) for:• Adults• Children• Infants
Adult CPRGuidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA)
Before Adult CPR• Step 1: Check the scene and
victim• If victim is conscious, ask them
“Are you OK?”
• Step 2: Call 911• If more than 1 person present,
send someone to find AED and call 911, while one person starts giving aid.
Before Adult CPR• Step 3: Open the airway• With victim on back, tilt head
slightly to back lift chin.
• Step 4: If victim is not breathing begin CPR
Adult CPR• Start with compressions
• Rate should be between 100-120 compressions a minute
• Compression Depth: at least 2 inches• Compression/ Ventilation Ratio
• 30:2• Give thirty compressions then two
breaths
• Allow for full recoil after each compression (Do NOT lean on victim)
Child CPRGuidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA)
Child CPR• If only 1 rescuer: begin CPR
immediately. Do NOT wait and call 911 first.• Immediate CPR on children leads to
a 70% higher survival rate.• Give compressions for 2 minutes
then call 911.
• If multiple rescuers: one person should call 911.• Someone should also look for
AED.
Child CPR• Open Airway• Start with compressions
• Rate should be between 100-120 compressions a minute
• Compression Depth: ~ 2 inches• Compression/ Ventilation Ratio
• 30:2 (15:2 if 2 or more responders)• Give thirty compressions then two
breaths (or 15 then two breaths)
• Allow for full recoil after each compression (Do NOT lean on victim)
Infant CPRGuidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA)
Infant CPR• If only 1 rescuer: begin CPR
immediately. Do NOT wait and call 911 first.• Immediate CPR on children leads
to a 70% higher survival rate.• Give compressions for 2 minutes
then call 911.
• If multiple rescuers: one person should call 911.
Infant CPR• Compression Placement:• 1 rescuer: 2 fingers in the center
of the chest, just below the nipple line • 2 or more rescuers: 2 thumb–
encircling hands in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line
Two-Thumb encircling hands technique
Infant CPR• Open Airway• Start with compressions
• Rate should be between 100-120 compressions a minute
• Compression Depth: 1 ½ inches• Compression/ Ventilation Ratio
• 30:2 (15:2 if 2 or more responders)• Give thirty compressions then two
breaths (or 15 then two breaths)
• Allow for full recoil after each compression (Do NOT lean on victim)
General Rules• Do NOT continue CPR if scene is
unsafe for rescuer or victim
• It is unsafe to continue CPR if you are exhausted• Exhausted rescuers tend to lean
on victims more, restricting proper airflow.
