Before Giving CPR

1
Check the scene and the person. Make sure the scene is safe, then tap the person on the shoulder and shout "Are you OK?" to ensure that the person needs help.

2
Call 911 for assistance. If it's evident that the person needs help, call (or ask a bystander to call) 911, then send someone to get an AED. (If an AED is unavailable, or a there is no bystander to access it, stay with the victim, call 911 and begin administering assistance.)

3
Open the airway. With the person lying on his or her back, tilt the head back slightly to lift the chin.

4
Check for breathing. Listen carefully, for no more than 10 seconds, for sounds of breathing. (Occasional gasping sounds do not equate to breathing.) If there is no breathing begin CPR.

Answer:

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR is a sequence of actions which are provided when a person suffers from a sudden cardiac arrest.

During SCA, the brain of the victim does not get any oxygen when the heart stops beating suddenly and the victim can die within a few minutes. So, CPR is provided in two steps mainly with:

1. Chest compression- by pressing down the chest about 2 inches with interlocked fingers over the chest and releasing the pressure again. repeat the compressions for about 100 times/min.

2. Giving rescue breaths- by putting the mouth over the patient's mouth and blowing the air until his chest rises.

What is THE EPA doing to the water which is still leaking out of the gold king mine?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:However, prior to the Gold King Mine incident EPA’s 2014 Draft Baseline Ecological Risk Assessment (BERA) found that metals emanating from Cement Creek pose severe risks to the aquatic environment for several miles downstream of the mining district. Lesser impairment of the aquatic community is likely to be occurring for at least 30 miles downstream of Silverton.

It is these and other documented environmental impacts that have led EPA to propose the addition of the Bonita Peak Mining District to the National Priorities List (NPL), which is the list of national priorities among the known or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants throughout the United States and its territories. By proposing the site to the NPL, additional data will be collected to more fully characterize sources of metals in the Animals River outside of the Cement Creek drainage and to assess risks to human health and the environment.
