ABC CPR First Aid

  Summary ( Dixie R. Galvez) ( CPR)     Delivering appropriate CPR in an emergency is a skill you can develop with the proper education and training. Remember your ABC. Clear the airway to restore breathing and if circulation stop restore it by compressing the infant or child chest.     Giving emergency treatment demands a cool head. Take whatever individual step you can, of course, but get help too. Be sure The EMS is contacted quickly. Then let your training help the infant or child in danger. And since you cannot safely practice the describe procedure, use this report as inspiration to get hands on training nearby.

  Administering Chest Compression: Whether administering chest compression to an infant, a child, or an adult, the challenges are to find the best position on the victim on which to apply pressure, and deciding how much pressure to apply.     :Infants: Imagine a line between the infant´s nipple´s. Focus on a spot in the center of that line, and a slight distance, perhaps an inch, below that line. Place 2 or 3 fingers on that spot, which should be higher on the chest than directly above the bottom of the sternum ( the flat fat bone connecting the ribs across the chest). Apply enough pressure to compress the infant´s chest by one half inch to one inch.     : Child: Feel the lower half of the child´s chest for the sternum. Place the heel of your hand on the sternum, but on a spot higher on the chest than directly above the bottom of the sternum. Apply enough pressure to compress the child´s chest by one inch to one and one half inches. In other words, each chest co...

  :Take A Moment To Think About This Challenge:     Congratulations on reading carefully to this point. This is challenging material. You are to be commended for taking this material seriously. No one wants to see an infant or child in danger. That´s why it is important for you to know how  to act in a potentially life saving manner if an infant or child in your care is in danger. Keep reading carefully. There is one more important section in this report.     The following page summarizes some of the techniques to use if an infant is choking. Included are several techniques which are slightly different from those offered in the first five pages of this report. Do not be concerned by this. When you take it upon yourself to received hands on training in first aid and CPR, You will use the specific techniques taught to you in those classes. Use all other instructions as mere background for that hands on training! :If Circulations Stops:     This repo...

                  : Airway Obstruction For Infant and a child:     Infant: = Try to dislodge the object when the infant is face down, then face up, and so on. First try placing the infant face down so that her head and neck are firmly in one of your hands, held firmly, lower than the infants waist. Up to (5 times), strike the infant´s between the shoulder blades with just enough force to dislodge the object. This action is referred to as a Black blow. If no dislodging results, turn the infant on her back, support her neck with one hand, and push (5 times) on the bottom of her breastbone. This action is referred to as a chest thrust.     : Child: = Perform the Heimlich maneuver. Stand behind the child. Wrap your arms around the child´s so that your hands meet above the child´s navel, But below his or her ribs. Make a fist with one hand, thumb side closest to the child. Grab the wrist of that hand with your ot...

      : Infant CPR :     Shout and Tap: = Shout and gently tap the child on the shoulder. If there is no response, position the infant on his or her neck.     : Open the Airway:         Open the airway using using a head tilt lifting of chin. Do not tilt the head too far back.     : Give 2 Gentle Breaths:          If the baby is not breathing give (2) small gentle breaths. Cover the baby´s mouth and nose with your mouth. Each breath should be (1) second long. You should see the baby´s chest rise with each breath.     : Give (30) Compression:          Give 30 gentle chest compression at the rate of 100 per minute. Use two or three fingers in the center of the chest just below the nipples. Press down approximately one third the depth of the chest.     :Repeat:     Repeat with (2) breath and (30) compression. After two minutes of repeated cycles c...

  1.) Airway = Concerns may be caused by various illnesses, but far more commonly an airway may be obstructed, or blocked, by a foreign object or by the child´s tongue. The first result of this obstruction will be choking. If the obstruction is not removed, It will keep the child from being able to breathe. Typical foreign objects that can be block a child´s airway include food, toys, balloons, or broken parts of objects that are being chewed or simply being held in the child´s mouth. 2.) Breathing = Concerns typically result when the foreign object is not removed from the child´s airway. Of course, a conscious child who cannot breathed normally will be extremely  frightened. Your first reactions will be to respond to the child´s fear. But as you begin to recognize what is happening, if the child is unable to breathe, You must respond to the condition that is preventing the child from breathing. The child´s lungs need oxygen. In turn, oxygen is carried throughout the body by t...

                          (ABC) Airway, Breathing, And Circulation (CPR) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)     What Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Does for someone. You were learned on this topic that CPR is a ¨ Life Saving Technique used when the heartbeat and  or breathing has stopped. Gentle puffs of air are given to the person while forcing the heart to pump a blood by applying gentle pressure to the chest.¨  The purpose of this report is to explain CPR in greater detail, Give you a broader working knowledge of what CPR can do for someone, and impress upon you the value of gaining hands on instruction in CPR and other first aid techniques through a local chapter of the American Heart Association, The american Red Cross, or Otherwise sponsored by a nearby fire department, Rescue squad, Hospital or high school. CPR= Consists of several rescue skills which can be used to help...
