Question

What is the correct sequence of CPR for an adult, or a child or an infant, when two rescuers are present?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct sequence for an adult CPR when two rescuers are present is:

• place the victim on the floor or on a flat surface.
• One rescuer should place his or her hand just above the victim's sternum, just between the nipples, and place the second hand on top of the first with fingers interlaced.
• The other rescuer should deliver oxygen through braces or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
• The first rescuer should direct his body directly over his hands so that his arms are straight and firm.
• Next, the rescuer should do 30 chest compressions while oxygen is administered.
• If nothing works, rescuers should use an automatic external defibrillator until vital signs return, otherwise the individual should be taken to a medical facility.

Explanation:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) consists of a series of maneuvers performed by health professionals or lay people to reverse cardiopulmonary arrest (CRP) and maintain adequate oxygenation and tissue perfusion. CPR can be applied in or out of hospital settings and is divided into advanced life support (VAS) and basic life support (SBV), respectively. The emphasis on good quality CPR can save lives.

Answer 2

Step One: Evaluate the scene.Step Two: Approach and Access.Step Three:Rescuer 1 would need to immediately ask for the other rescuer to call emergency medial assistance(911); if the patient is unconscious.
Step Four: (Still Rescuer 1) Begin CPR at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute and the chest should be compressed at least 2 inches or 1/3 the thickness of the person chest from front to back allowing full recoil in between each compression.Step Five: Push hard and fast in the center of the person's chest until help arrives, trying to limit all pauses to chest compressions to less than 10 seconds.Step Six: If the person performing chest compressions is tired, switch positions after two minutes. ( Don't spend to much time switching, it will reduce the effect of CPR.) Step Seven: ( Rescuer 2) Repeat cycle of compressions and ventilations ( at a rate of 30/2 for an adult or 15/2 for a child/baby). Responder at head periodically checks for effectiveness of compressions by feeling for carotid pulse. Step Eight: Once the AED has been applied and tuned on, continue doing chest compressions at 100 per minute and follow the instructions from the AED. Step Nine: If there is any changes in patient's condition, stop CPR and check ABCs.
