Recent studies have shown that new lifesaving techniques can be as effective, if not more effective than ones previously taught. We all know that sometimes an obstacle to a bystander performing CPR may be a hesitation to perform mouth to mouth breathing resuscitation on a stranger. Well the newest methods being taught include a "hands only" method that consists of NO mouth to mouth. This new method can be easily used by almost anyone, regardless of their training or experience.
When someone collapses or is in need of cpr, the single most important thing is to keep blood flowing to vital organs. This blood flow can only be accomplished with a beating heart, or a simulated beating heart.
The standard to cpr is 30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths, then check for a pulse and breathing. This continues until help arrives.
If you are unable or unwilling to perform the breaths. Simply follow the steps below:
1- Tap and Shout: "Are you OK, Are you OK?"
2- Check for breathing and pulse.
3- If victim is breathing, place them on their side, AKA the "recovery position" If victim is not breathing, and it is safe to do so; place victim flat on their back.
4- If victim is not breathing; Perform 30 chest compressions, then pause and check pulse, and look and feel for breathing.
5- If victim begins breathing, place them in the recovery position. If victim is still not breathing, repeat procedure until help arrives.
Please remember, YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE. Do not be afraid to perform CPR, do not hesitate if you are afraid to perform Mouth-to-Mouth on a stranger.
If the victim is not breathing and their heart is stopped, it is virtually impossible for you to do anymore damage than what has already occurred.
