Speaker 1: Hey, Tyler. Tyler, what are you doing? Hey, wake up, wake up. Help. Help. Roy: Okay, So let's talk about adult CPR. So we have an individual here. We have no idea why they went into cardiac arrest. But, we have bystanders telling us they went down. They looked like they were in pain. Clutched their chest and collapsed. The scene is safe. We are making sure our gloves are on and our CPR shield is available with a one-way valve. Many times a first aid kit will have a CPR mask or shield in it. So that is a good place to check if you don't have one. At that point I am going to assess the patient for responsiveness by calling out to them. Sir, can you hear me? There is no response. Head on the forehead, tap on the collar bone. Sir, can you hear me? There is still no response. At this point I'm going to look for a bystander if there is one around. You in the plaid shirt, go call 911 and come back. And if you can find an AED bring it with you. It's at that point now that I am going to go right into chest compressions because they are not breathing. They are not moving and they are not responding. I'm going to place the palm of my hand on the breast in the center of the sternum, lower third, interlace my fingers and pull up. I'm going lean over the patient and deliver a 2 to 2.4-inch deep compression at a rate of 100 to 120 times per minute. One and two and three and four and five and six and seven and eight and nine, ten, eleven and twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty- two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty- nine, thirty. Now, I'm gonna get the mask. I'm going to put it over the mouth and nose of the patient. I'm going to make sure to do a good head tilt, chin lift. Pinch the nose, seal over the mouth and give a rescue breathe. One breath goes in, I can see the chest rise and fall. Second breath goes in, I go right back into my thirty compressions. I am going to continue this at thirty compressions for every two rescue breathes until EMS arrives, until an AED arrives or until my patient begins to respond and breathe normally again.
Adult CPR is performed by first contacting emergency services. Next, if the patient is not breathing, begin chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths. Perform 30 compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute and a depth of 2-2.4 inches in the center of the chest. These 30 compressions should be followed by two rescue breaths, and repeat the cycle until an AED or emergency services arrives.
