CPR GENERAL PRINCIPLES
- CPR sequence is Compressions- Airway - Breathing. The only exception is drowning victims where the sequence is Airway-Breathing-Compressions
- Chest compression rate is 100-120/minute
- Chest compression depth is 2-2.4 inches in adults, 2 inches in children, and 1.5 inches in infants
- Allow full chest wall recoil before the next compression.
- Minimize interruptions to less than 10 seconds.
- Airway : Use head-tilt chin lift technique. (Exception: in cases of trauma use Jaw thrust to open airway.)
- Once an advanced airway is in, one breath every 6 seconds, asynchronous with chest compressions at the rate of 100-120/minute
- In a child or infant , even after the pulse returns, if it is less than 60/mt, both chest compressions and breaths should continue.
- AFTER EACH ROUND OF CPR (MEANING 2 MINUTES), DO A RHYTHM CHECK (Rhythm Check is different from Pulse Check!)
