CPR Basics
When is CPR necessary?
- Following a cardiac arrest (heart attack)
- When a person is not breathing
- When the heart has stopped beating
How can I tell if a person's heart has stopped?
- The person has no pulse
- The person is not breathing
- The person does not respond to noise or touch
How do I perform CPR?
One performs CPR through a combination of chest compressions, which force the blood out of the heart and through the rest of the body,and rescue breathing, which provides fresh oxygen to the body. The depth of chest compressions varies with the size of the person who needs CPR. To learn how to properly perform this life-saving procedure, enroll in a class as soon as possible.
