Welcome to BLS CPR (Adult / Child / Infant) CPR on COVID-19 Positive or Suspected Patients

Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest On COVID-19 Positive:

• Check if the scene is safe
• Don PPE (Wear a face mask, preferably N95 respiratory. Recommend gloves, gown, and face shield, if available)
• Limit the number of people around the victim. Non-essential people should be standing at least 6 feet away from the victim.
• Check for response
• If no response, i.e., unresponsive and lack of normal breathing, i.e., no breathing or gasping and no pulse (checking simultaneously) for up to 10 seconds.
• Activate EMS (Emergency Medical Services or Emergency Response Team) inform them about suspected or positive COVID-19 victim and get or call for an AED (automated external defibrillator)

If the victim is COVID-19 negative or not suspected, then standard CPR algorithm is recommended.
