Notes for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a combination of CPR and CPR. If mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is not effective and the victim's heart has stopped, the combination of an external chest massage and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation must be performed because if the heart cannot circulate blood, oxygenated blood cannot reach the victim's brain. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation refers to the combination of artificial respiration and artificial thoracic massage. CPR for short.

The importance of CARDIopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Sudden stop of breathing and heartbeat, if not given any treatment, brain cells will begin to be damaged after 4-6 minutes of brain hypoxia; If left untreated for more than 10 minutes, it can cause irreversible brain damage and even death.

Chest compressions should not be applied to the xiphoid process to avoid xiphoid fractures (liver rupture). The wounded man should lie flat on the floor or hard board, with his head no higher than his heart. When chest compresses, do not apply sustained pressure to the stomach to avoid vomiting.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manufacturer says keep your fingers away from the ribs during chest compressions to avoid rib fractures. If you do, make sure the compressions are in the right place and continue CPR. During chest compression, the rescuer should get down on his knees and keep his knees apart from his shoulders. The shoulders of the wounded are between the rescuer's legs. The rescuer should straighten his elbows and press vertically on the lower half of the sternum.

Prevention of infection: avoid contact with the blood, body fluids, mucous membranes and wounds of the wounded during first aid. The rescuer should wear a mask and protective gloves. For artificial respiration, use protective mask, pocket mask or awakening ball mask.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training by using CPR simulator enables thousands of medical students to master basic life support skills. At present, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) simulator is also used in the teaching of emergency medicine in China. The simulated human training has the advantages of repeatability, safety and multi-person operation.
