CPR is the “heart” of any first aid program.
You will need it to help someone who is choking or someone whose
heart stops.

The 4 “R’s” of CPR
• Risk: factors in your life that predispose you to developing heart problems.
• Recognition: how to recognize a serious developing emergency.
• React: what to do when you see a developing emergency.
• Resuscitation: how to help someone who is choking and how to do CPR.

Why Learn This?
Someone’s life may depend on it!
To improve someone’s chance of survival -• CPR is key to maintaining a person’s breathing
and circulation until help arrives.

The HeartAnd When It Breaks
• Oxygen is carried by blood throughout the body-nourishing the organs of the body.
• Without circulating blood, without oxygen, these organs start to die.
• Without oxygen, serious brain damage starts in 4 to 6 minutes.

The heart is a tough muscle, but…
• The heart has its own network of blood vessels that supply it with blood.
• But if one of these arteries gets blocked, by fat or cholesterol- the person experiences chest pain.

Angina
• If the blockage opens up after a little bit,The pain goes away…until next time.This is called angina.

• If the artery stays blocked, the pain remains and the area of the affected heart muscle starts to die.
• This is what most people call a heart attack.

• When the heart stops beating, it is no longer pumping blood to the rest of the body.
• That heart is in cardiac arrest!

• When the heart muscle is suffering because it cannot get oxygen, it gets irritated (like if you are choking and can’t get air - ventricular fibrillation)
• The heart’s main muscles, lose their rhythmic pumping action and start to fibrillate.
• This squirmy kind of muscle contraction does not pump blood- and is the most common kind of cardiac arrest and the most treatable.
