FAST Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Get that AIR in and get that Heart pumping.
Blood needs to circulate, to keep a person alive.

 Heart attack is the most common cause of ventricular fibrillation.
(Uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles).

Less common causes of cardiac arrest include:
Respiratory Arrest (loss of breathing function, as in Asthma, etc)
Choking,
Trauma,
Electrocution,
Drowning.

In recent years, CPR guidance has been revised to put more emphasis on chest decompressions for sudden cardiac arrest.

In 2008, the heart group said untrained bystanders or those unwilling to do rescue breaths could do hands-only CPR until paramedics arrive or a defibrillator is used to restore a normal heart beat.

This can be attained by pressing down on the patient's chest about 100 times a minute. 

Compressing the chest of somebody whose heart has stopped ensures blood continues to flow, getting oxygen to the brain and other vital organs.
Without oxygen to the brain for five minutes, can result in brain death.
(This does not mean to stop compressions after this time!!
No... Keep Going!!!)

NEAR DROWNING and DRUG OVERDOSE
Prefered CPR with breaths....
Check patient quickly, and make sure of, no danger to self.
Place person quickly onto side.
Clear mouth of any article debre or vomit.
Roll onto back,  with head tilted back.

Two quick Breath's
Thirty Compressions.   Continue this until help arrives * *

ELECTROCUTION: Switch off power and use a broom or similar to knock person away from danger, prior attempting to give help. 


Try and remain calm..
And, do your best.
You could make a difference.
