Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - CPR | 767.5MB
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions that delivers oxygen and artificial blood circulation to a person who is in cardiac arrest. It can be life-saving first aid. A ¡®heart attack¡¯ occurs when the heart is starved of oxygen. A heart attack can ¡®stun¡¯ the heart and interrupt its rhythm and ability to pump. If the heart stops pumping, it is known as a cardiac arrest. This is because the heart does not receive enough oxygen and cannot pump blood around the body. There is no heartbeat because the heart is not working. When the blood stops circulating, the brain is starved of oxygen and the person quickly becomes unconscious and stops breathing. Without treatment the person will die.
Causes of cardiac arrest
A cardiac arrest can be caused by:
* Heart disease ¨C this is the most common cause of cardiac arrest and is the leading cause of death in Victoria
* Drowning
* Suffocation
* Poisonous gases
* Head injury
* Drug overdose
* Electric shock.
CPR can be life-saving first aid
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be life-saving first aid and increases the person¡¯s chances of survival if started soon after the heart has stopped beating. If no CPR is performed, it only takes 3¨C4 minutes for the person to become brain dead, due to lack of oxygen. By performing CPR, you provide the needed oxygen and circulate the blood, so that the brain and other organs can stay alive while you wait for the ambulance. CPR does not guarantee that the person will survive but it does give that person a chance when otherwise there would have been none.
CPR ¨C the basic steps
These are the basic steps for performing CPR; they can be used for adults, children and infants. They are based on guidelines updated in 2006 to be easier to follow and remember. However, they are only a guide and not a substitute for attending a CPR course.
CPR is most successful when administered as quickly as possible. It should only be performed when a person shows no signs of life; that is, when they are:
* Unconscious
* Unresponsive
* Not breathing normally
* Not moving.
The basic steps are:
