Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Commonly known as resuscitation - rescue operations performed on a victim who is unconscious and not breathing properly.

Evaluate safety

Check consciousness

Call for help

Tilt the victim's head

Examine the breath for 10 sec.

If the victim is not breathing, call 112

Perform 30 compressions

2 breaths

Repeat 30 : 2

Symptoms of cardiac arrest:
• lack of normal breathing (agonal or
complete absence of breathing)
• grey skin
• unresponsiveness to external stimuli

Key technical features of the compressions:
• hard, level ground
• uncovered chest
• pressure on the lower part of the sternum (in the “middle” of the chest)
• frequency of compressions: 100-120 / minute
• depth 5 - 6cm
• avoiding leaning on the chest between compressions

Key technical features of the breathers:
• the victim's head tilted back
• clogged nose of the victim
• 1 inhalation for about 1 second until the chest is visibly elevated
• pause between compressions maximum 5 seconds

In a situation where you are rescuing a stranger and do not have a mask for artificial respiration, then perform only chest compressions without interruption.
