It involves artificial respiration, which supplies oxygen to the lungs, and artificial circulation, which maintains blood flow throughout the body.<\/p><p>CPR&#8217;s primary objective is to provide an appropriate supply of <strong>oxygenated blood<\/strong> to reach the brain and other organs.<\/p><p>This prevents tissue damage until the heart can resume normal function or professional medical assistance arrives. It is important to note that CPR is most effective when chest compressions are performed continuously.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-229916c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"229916c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Why Perform CPR: Understanding Cardiac Arrest<\/strong><\/h2><p>When someone experiences cardiac arrest, their heart stops beating properly, blocking blood flow to the brain. The person becomes unresponsive and stops breathing.<\/p><p>Although a cardiac arrest marks a state of clinical death, applying CPR on time and a defibrillator presents a chance to restore a regular heartbeat.<\/p><p>Common causes of cardiac arrest include:<\/p><ul><li>heart attacks<\/li><li>severe injuries<\/li><li>electrical shock<\/li><li>drug overdose<\/li><li>drowning<\/li><li>suffocation<\/li><\/ul><p>When administering CPR, you are responsible for the casualty&#8217;s cardiovascular and respiratory function. This procedure slows down the progression of their life-threatening condition till professional medical help arrives to take control of the situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adbb337 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"adbb337\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>When to Use CPR<\/strong><\/h2><p>CPR is needed when someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally. It is also required when a person is not breathing at all. For instance, if someone is rescued from drowning, they may need CPR to help them start breathing again. Similarly, if someone is severely choking, bleeding heavily, or in shock, CPR may be necessary.<\/p><p>If you encounter an unresponsive person who has collapsed, you should perform a <a href=\"https:\/\/hurak.com\/blog\/primary-survey-using-drabc-steps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">p<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">rimary survey using the DRABC steps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">.<\/span> This involves checking if the person is breathing by placing your cheek near their mouth.<\/p><p>Observe their chest for any movement for about <strong>10 seconds<\/strong>. If the person is unconscious but breathing normally, you should put them in the recovery position. However, <strong>if they are unconscious and not breathing properly, you should be prepared to administer CPR<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b85bf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"6b85bf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\r\n<style>\r\n        .main{\r\n            border:3px solid #0f7c90;\r\n            border-radius:20px;\r\n            position: relative;\r\n            font-family:roboto;\r\n            font-weight: 400;\r\n            color: #000;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        .main-two{\r\n            position: absolute;\r\n            top:-25px;\r\n            left:45px;\r\n            background-color:white;\r\n           \r\n\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        .img-div{\r\n            border-radius : 100%;\r\n            padding:2px 7px;\r\n            background-color:#0f7c90; \r\n            margin-right:5px;\r\n            width: 50px;\r\n            height: 50px;\r\n\r\n        }\r\n        .img{\r\n            width:30px;\r\n            object-fit:contain;\r\n            height:auto;\r\n            border-radius : 100%;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        @media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\r\n       .heading{\r\n        font-size:20px;\r\n       }\r\n       .img{\r\n            width:20px;\r\n            object-fit:contain;\r\n            height:auto;\r\n            border-radius : 100%;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        .img-div{\r\n           \r\n            width: 40px;\r\n            height: 40px;\r\n\r\n        }\r\n        .main-two{\r\n            left:25px;\r\n\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n        <\/style>\r\n  <\/head>\r\n  <body>\r\n   \r\n        <div class=\"main mb-3 pl-3 pl-lg-5 pl-md-5 pr-4 pt-4 pt-sm-5 pb-3\">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"d-flex align-items-center main-two\">\r\n                <div class=\" img-div d-flex  align-items-center justify-content-center \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hurak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bulb.png\" class=\"img\" > <\/div>\r\n                <h4 class=\"pr-2 m-0 heading\">Ready to Learn More?<\/h4>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n            <p>\r\n\r\n                Knowing CPR is important in emergencies, but there's more to first aid.

If two people share the job of compressing the chest, they can keep doing good compressions for longer.<\/li><li>With two people doing CPR, they can take turns doing chest compressions and giving breaths. This means the compressions do not have to stop as often.<\/li><li>When two people work together, they can encourage and help each other during a difficult situation. One person stays by the casualty&#8217;s head to do CPR with two rescuers. He keeps the airway open and breathes after every 30 compressions. The other person does the chest compressions.<\/li><\/ul><p>To keep the compressions effective, they should switch roles every 5 cycles of compressions and breaths, about every 2 minutes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c756ca2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c756ca2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2><p>If someone is not responding and breathing normally, CPR can help them survive until paramedics arrive. So, everyone needs to know how to do CPR, even if you still need to be formally trained in first aid. If you are not qualified, you should do chest compressions only for adults. But for children and babies, it is best to call for help first and then do CPR. Either way, doing CPR increases the chances of the person surviving.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medical emergencies that require CPR can occur unexpectedly in any location.
