CARE IS SIMILAR TO CPR WITH AN ADDITIONAL STEP
BETWEEN COMPRESSIONS AND BREATHS
• BEGIN YOUR ASSESSMENT STEPS (3 C’S, ABC’S,
LLF)
• WHEN YOUR BREATHS DO NOT GO IN, RETILT THE
HEAD AND TRY BREATHS AGAIN… IF THEY STILL
DO NOT GO IN YOU ASSUME THE VICTIM IS/WAS
CHOCKING (AIRWAY IS BLOCKED)
• ONCE LEARNING ABOUT THE BLOCKED AIRWAY
CONTINUE WITH CPR AND ADD THE FINGER
SWEEP AFTER COMPRESSIONS IF YOU SEE THE
OBJECT IN THE MOUTH
• AFTER THE OBJECT IS REMOVED RE-ASSESS THE
VICTIM TO SEE IF CPR/RESCUE BREATHING IS
STILL NEEDED

discomfort could be having a heart attack
• When you give rescue breaths you should
give a breath that last one second
• Check for signs of life for no more than10
seconds
• A conscious chocking adult give back
blows and abdominal thrust.
• Why do you stop giving CPR
