FAQs
What are the 3 C's in CPR?
The 3 C’s in CPR are:
- Circulation: This is the goal of CPR, to keep blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs.
- Compressions: Chest compressions are the main way to keep blood flowing during CPR.
- Coordination: It is important to coordinate chest compressions with rescue breaths, if possible.
What is the most important thing to know about CPR?
The most important thing to know about CPR is that it is never too late to start. Even if someone has been without oxygen for several minutes, CPR can still save their life.
What are the differences between CPR for adults and children?
The main difference between CPR for adults and children is the amount of force used to perform chest compressions. For adults, chest compressions should be at a rate of 100 per minute and should be deep enough to compress the chest by 5-6 centimeters. For children, chest compressions should be at a rate of 100 per minute and should be deep enough to compress the chest by 2-3 centimeters.
When should I do hands-only CPR?
You should do hands-only CPR if you are not trained in CPR or if you are not comfortable performing mouth-to-mouth breathing. Hands-only CPR is just as effective as CPR with rescue breaths at keeping blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs.
What is the correct action where someone needs to be moved to perform CPR, such as a car accident?
If someone needs to be moved to perform CPR, such as in a car accident, it is important to do so carefully and safely. First, check the scene to make sure it is safe to move the person. Then, if possible, try to move the person as a unit, without moving their head and neck. If you cannot move the person as a unit, gently roll them onto their back and perform CPR.
