Welcome to Adult CPR Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

One and Two Rescuer:

• 30:2 chest compressions to ventilations (breaths)
• For two rescuers: change the compressor/ rescuer every 2 minutes, i.e. every 5 cycles to avoid fatigue.

Special Situations:
If a person is drowning or a victim of foreign body airway obstruction, complete the 5 cycles or 2 minutes of CPR before activating the EMS (If only one rescuer is present and the EMS has not been activated)

Summary:

• Recognition of cardiac arrest (no response and no breathing or only gasping breaths)
• Activation of EMS
• Immediate CPR (chest compressions followed by breaths)
• Rapid use of AED if available
