Summary
CPR is a life-saving first aid procedure. It can significantly improve someone’s changes of
surviving if they suffer a heart attack or stop breathing following an accident or trauma.
The steps vary depending on whether the person is an infant, child, or adult. However, the basic cycle of
chest compressions and rescue breaths will remain the same.
Only use CPR when an adult has stopped breathing. Check the person to see whether they respond to
verbal or physical stimuli before starting CPR.
Safety and precaution of basic life support
1 If upward pressure is applied on the chest, the middle bone may be break.
2 While giving artificial respiration, close the nose.
3 Check the patient’s airway and give artificial respiration only if the airway is open.
4 Due to excessive air pressure while breathing, the lungs may burst or liquid may come out from the
stomach.
