Introduction (2)
• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a first aid technique to help people who suffer a “cardiac arrest” (their heart stops beating).
• It involves doing chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep the casualty alive until a defibrillator arrives.
• A defibrillator is an electrical device which can be used to help restart someone’s heart.
• CPR on its own is unlikely to restart someone’s heart, however it will increase the chance of a defibrillator being successful.

Patient assessment
• If you find someone collapsed, you can use the mnemonic “DR ABC” to help you remember what to do

D: Danger
• Ensure there are no dangers to yourself, other bystanders or the casualty
• Ask yourself - why has the casualty collapsed? Are there any hazards? Am I at risk?
• Dangers could include: moving vehicles, electricity, water, other people and smoke/fire
• Only help if it is safe to do so

R: Response
• Try and wake the casualty up - are they responsive?
• Kneel by his/her head, shout loudly in both ears and tap them on the shoulders
• If no response, the casualty is unconscious

At this point…
• If a casualty does not wake up they are unconscious.
• This is an emergency situation• Try and attract attention to yourself/the
casualty by shouting for help• However, do not leave the casualty

A: Airway
• The airway is the tube which takes air from the mouth/nose to the lungs
• When a casualty is unconscious, their tongue can fall backwards and block their airway.
• This can cause an obstruction and stop the casualty from breathing

A: Airway (2)
• To open someone’s airway, place one hand on their forehead and tilt their head backwards
• Then place two fingers on the bony part of their chin and lift it.
• This is known as the “head tilt, chin lift” maneuver.

B: Breathing
• Keep your hands on the person’s head/chin
• Place your cheek above their mouth and look at their chest
• Look, listen and feel for regular breathing for up to 10 seconds.

C: Call an ambulance
• If a casualty is not breathing normally, call an emergency ambulance immediately
• If a bystander is available, they can call the ambulance for you
• Ensure you tell the operator that you have an unconscious, non-breathing casualty.

Adult CPR
• After an ambulance has been called, you should commence CPR.
• First, you should give 30 chest compressions• Place your hands in the centre of the person’s
chest, over the breastbone (sternum)• Interlock your fingers• Push down 30 times at a rate of 100 - 120
compressions / minute

Chest compressions
• Ensure your elbows are locked and your shoulders positioned above the chest
• Push down to a depth of about 5cm
• Ensure you release fully after each compression

Rescue breaths
• After 30 chest compressions, give 2 rescue breaths.
• Tilt the casualty’s head backwards, life their chin and then pinch their nose
• Make a seal over their mouth and breath in for approximately one second

Adult CPR
• Continue the cycle of 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths until help arrives
• If there is more than one first aider, swap over doing chest compressions regularly
• If a defibrillator arrives it should be used immediately

Watch this video
The video next is a real life resuscitation captured on TV for the series Bondi Rescue.
It shows lifeguards successful resuscitating a swimmer and using a defibrillator.
The protocols in the video are slightly different to what we’ve covered, however the general idea is the same!
