Being certified in CPR and First Aid doesn’t only benefit
yourself, but everyone around you because you never know
when CPR will be needed.
The American Red Cross has trained millions of people in first
aid and CPR. These are the people who are dedicated to
making the world a safer place for everyone!
I hope you learned some important information about CPR and
hopefully you want to get certified!
How Do I renew my Certification?
 Certification for CPR and First Aid is easy to obtain!
Just review the CPR PowerPoints to refresh your skills.
2. Show up to take the test.
3. You will have your new cards in one week!
1.
Noticing an emergency
•Unusual noises
•Unusual smells
•Unusual appearances
Always use universal precautions
to protect yourself and minimize
risk of disease transmission
The first important steps in giving
CPR are….
The three C’s!!
Let’s watch
Is the scene safe?
 Check for anything unsafe, such as spilled chemicals, traffic,
fire, and other hazardous items.
 Check a conscious person by: getting their consent, ask them
about what happened, and do not touch or move painful areas
 If no consent is given, DO NOT give care but do call 911
 Check an unconscious person by: tapping and shouting
Calling for help is often the most important action you can take
to help an ill or injured person.
 If a person has trouble breathing Call 911 or the local
emergency number (If there are other people at the scene,
ask someone else to call for you to help!)
 If a person is unconscious call 911
Once you have followed the first two C’s, you may need to give
care until EMS personnel arrive. Follow these guidelines:
 Do no further harm. Move an injured person ONLY if the
scene is unsafe, you need to reach someone more seriously
injured, or you need to move the person to give care.
 If a person is in shock, DO NOT give them water.
 Help the person rest in the most comfortable position.
 Give any specific care needed.

Early CPR is important because it helps circulate the
blood that contains oxygen to vital organs.
Steps for Adult CPR
Check the scene for safety
Make sure there is nothing around that will
cause you harm before approaching the victim.
(gas, fallen power lines, etc.)
• Is person unresponsive?
Are you
okay?
Check the victim for a response
Open the airway
&
Maintain the airway open
Head tilt and chin lift
Check for breathing
Look listen and feel for normal breathing
&
LOOK FOR SIGS OF LIFE for no more than 10 seconds.
If no signs of life are present
push hard and push fast
Land mark
press down on the
sternum 1 ½ to 2 inches
Place the heel of one hand in
the centre of the victim’s chest.
Place the heel of your other
hand on top of the first hand.
30 : 2
After 30 compressions open the airway again using head tilt and chin lift give
two breaths while watching the chest rise. Rescue Breaths should last for 1
second.

Heart Attack
 Chest Pain
 Discomfort tat lasts for more than 3-5 minutes
Were you paying attention? I hope so! Here are some Key point
you NEED to remember!
 Check the person for consciousness
 Call for help!
 Open the airway and look, listen, and feel for signs of life for
no more than 10 seconds.
 Give 30 chest compressions with both hands then open the
airway and give 2 rescue breaths each lasting 1 second.
 Continue the 30/2 ratio (5 cycles in 2 minutes) until EMT
arrives or you are too exhausted to continue.
 Do NOT stop CPR to check for signs of life until an AED is
ready, a trained responder arrives or the victim breathes on
their own.
One year of age up to 8
Ensure the safety of rescuer and child.
Check the child’s responsiveness. Are they alert
Have someone CALL 911 and get an AED
Care: open the child’s airway by tilting the head and lifting the chin.
Keeping the airway open, look, listen and feel for normal breathing (NO MORE
THAN 10 SEC)
If the child is not breathing
Give two initial rescue breaths each lasting 1 second
If there is no pulse: The rescuer should provide 5 cycles (a cycle is 30 compressions
and 2 breaths) of CPR (about 2 minutes)
start chest compressions (1 to 1 ½ in.).
Early CPR can keep vital organs alive
To perform chest compression in children over
1 year of age, Position yourself vertically above
the victim’s chest
place the heel of one hand over the lower third
of the sternum ( NIPPLE LINE LEVEL)
with your arm straight, compress the lower third
of the sternum. 1 in. to 1 ½ in. (avoid compressing
the upper abdomen),

Here are some key points to Child CPR in case you missed
them!
 The same first 3 steps apply for children as adults when
giving CPR. (check for consciousness, call for help, care,
open airway check for signs of life)
 After opening the airway, give 2 rescue breaths (1 every 3
seconds)
 Check for signs of life
 If there are no signs of life, follow with 30 chest
compressions with only one hand.
 Check for signs of life every 2 minutes
 Continue 30 to 2 ratio until EMT arrives.
Check the scene safety
open the infant’s airway by tilting the head back ( do not hyperextend the neck )
Keeping the airway open, look, listen and feel for normal breathing (NOMORE THAN 10
SEC)
If the infant is not breathing
Give two initial rescue breaths (1 breath every 3 seconds)
The rescuer should provide 5 cycles (a cycle is 30 compressions and 2
breaths) of CPR (about 2 minutes)
CALL 911 and start chest compressions (1/2 to 1 in)(100\min).
Stop and check for signs of life every 2 minutes
30\2
•Compress the sternum
straight down.
•Put one hand on the
forehead and two fingers.
• ½ in to 1 in.

Let’s Watch
Important things you need to know about Infant CPR!
 Checking for consciousness on a baby is different from an
adult or child, you must tap their foot.
 Check for consciousness, call for help, open airway check for
signs of life.
 An infant needs CPR if there is no breathing and no pulse.
 Give 2 rescue breaths then listen for signs of life. Follow
with 30 chest compressions with only 2 fingers and not as
much force.
 Continue 30 to 2 ratio until EMT arrives.
Now we will learn how to treat an adult, child, and infant who
are choking and not able to cough, speak, or breathe.
Signs of trouble breathing are: Noisy or painful breathing,
Wheezing, agitation, pale skin, slow or rapid breathing
Step 1
Check scene, then check person.
Step 2
Have someone call 9111
Step 3 care
Obtain Consent to care for the person.
Step 4
Lean the person forward and give 5 back blows with the heel of
your hand.
Step 5
Give 5 quick, upward abdominal thrusts. Place your fists just
above the navel.
Step 6
Continue back blows and abdominal thrusts until object is forced out
 person can breathe or cough forcefully(encourage them to
continue coughing)
 person becomes unconscious
WHAT TO DO NEXT:
If person becomes unconscious- CALL 911
Step 1
Check scene, then check person.
Step 2
Have someone call 9111
Step 3 care
Obtain Consent to care for the person.
Step 4
Lay the baby face down on your forearm and give 5 back blows
with the heel of your hand. (make sure head is lower than
chest)
Step 5
Give 5 quick, chest thrusts. Place your fingers in the middle of
the chest.
Step 6
Continue back blows and abdominal thrusts until object is forced out
 person can breathe or cough forcefully(encourage them to
continue coughing)
 person becomes unconscious
WHAT TO DO NEXT:
If person becomes unconscious- CALL 911
Follow the same 1-6 steps of a choking adult for a choking
child, and infant. REMEMBER TO CALL 911!!
What does an AED do?
 The AED is programmed to analyze the heart’s electrical activity,
and decide whether the electrical shock would help. It then
builds up an electric charge and deliver to the patient when you
push the button. If a victim truly has no pulse, the AED is the
only thing that will bring the victim back to life. CPR only keeps
blood and oxygen flowing through the body. CPR alone does
NOT restart the heart!
 Each minute defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of
survival by 10%
 Early defibrillation can save the lives of more people in cardiac
arrest.
Patient Symptoms when in
need of an AED
 Unconscious
 No Breathing
 No Signs of life
 Resulting in…
No Oxygen to the Brain or Body Organs
•
CPR (only) ……………………… 0-2%
• EMS/ER …………………… 5-15%
• CPR+AED…….. 30-75%
AED Don'ts
 Don’t use the AED to monitor people who are awake or have
a pulse
 Don’t attach the AED to people in anticipation of arrest.
 Don’t defibrillate the patient when both the patient and the
defibrillator are in contact with metal or water .
 Don’t analyze with the AED while chest compression are in
progress.
Electrode placement Adult
 Remove electrodes from package (check expiration date).
 Apply to victims :upper right chest
left lower side of chest
 Wet victims should be toweled dry.
 Hairy chest may need shaving.
 Can be used with pacemaker, electrode on right side should be beneath
pacemaker.
