Question

You are alone and have identified an adult who is not responsive. You have called 911 and begun chest compression. What is the next step in CPR

Answer 1

Answer:

The next step is to place the victim lying on his back and on a rigid plane so that he can begin heart massage.

Explanation:

When, in addition to the breathing stopped, the heart also stops, we are in a situation of cardiorespiratory arrest. In this case, the victim should immediately receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

To do this, first call the emergency (911) and explain what is happening. While awaiting help, lie the victim on his back and on a hard plane. Then open the victim's airway, overhaul and clean the mouth, blow two deep breaths into the victim's mouth. After that begin the cardiac massage: open the victim's clothes at chest level, feel the sternum and protect the xiphoid appendix with two fingers.

Answer 2

Continue chest compressions until professionals arrive. Then they will remove their shirt and clothing and use an AED.
