Explanation
Initial Steps of High-Quality CPR
Ensure Scene Safety:
- Check the area for dangers (traffic, electricity, fire) to protect yourself and the patient.
Check for Responsiveness:
- Tap the patient's shoulders and shout, "Are you OK?".
Activate Emergency Response (Call emergency services):
- If the patient does not respond, immediately call emergency services (or instruct a bystander to) and get an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if available.
Assess Breathing and Pulse:
- Check for breathing (look for normal chest rise/fall) and a carotid pulse simultaneously for no more than 10 seconds.
- If there is no pulse or breathing, or only gasping (agonal breathing), start CPR.
Position the Patient:
- Place the person on their back on a firm, flat surface.
