How to Do Adult CPR!
If an adult seems unconscious, the first thing a person must do is tap him or her a few times while talking to him/her. If the person still does not respond, tell someone to call 9-11. The key is not to PANIC. Before officially aiding the person, make sure the scene is safe for you so you will not get hurt either. The next thing to do is gently move the person's head backward, and count 10 seconds to see if the individual is breathing. (It is no longer required to check for a purse since that wastes time in saving a life). If the person is not breathing, then put a barrier over the person's mouth so you will not be contact with his/her fluid, such as salvia. Before breathing into the person's lung, please make sure there is nothing into the person's mouth. If so, please remove the obstruction and then proceed to breathe into his/her mouth. Breathing into a victim's mouth should take one second. After breathing into a person's mouth a few times. It is time to give the person's chest compression 30 times, should also be 2 inches deep, before returning to the breathing. Make sure to give chest compression with both hands together with the heel of the hands pressing on the chest. Please think of both hands being linked together similar to how the Power Rangers put their hands together when morphing into superhero uniforms. The chest compression should occur below the nipple line, and in the center of the chest blades. Please do not stop giving mouth to mouth and chest compression until the ambulance arrives. (If a rescuer sees vomiting or blooding coming out the mouth, please do not confuse that for a sign of life. If a helper sees either or wipe the victims mouth, and call 9-11 to see what is the best way to handle this type of situation. If the person responds, turn his or her body from his/her back to his/her side. Best wishes in saving a persons life. God Bless.
