Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving technique designed to maintain blood circulation and provide oxygen to the body when the heart has stopped beating. The key steps in performing CPR vary slightly between adults and children, reflecting physiological differences and the need for age-appropriate interventions.
Key Steps in Performing CPR for Adults:
1. Assess the Situation:
- Ensure the environment is safe for both the rescuer and the victim.
- Check for responsiveness by tapping the person and shouting for help.
2. Activate Emergency Response:
- Call for emergency medical assistance or instruct someone else to do so.
3. Check for Breathing:
- Open the airway and look, listen, and feel for normal breathing for no more than 10 seconds.
