C 1

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)

Basic Life Support (BLS)
1. Determine unresponsiveness
2. Call for Help, Call for Defibrillator
3. Wear PPE: N95/ surgical mask, gown, ± (gloves, goggles, face
shield for high risk patients)
4. Check for breathing and pulse (no more than 10 seconds)
a. No normal breathing, has pulse provide rescue breathing; 1
breath every 5–6 seconds
b. No breathing or gasping, no pulse Start CPR
C: Circulation with CPR
Chest compressions at a rate of 100/min to 120/min
At least 2 inches(5cm), avoid excessive depths > 2.4 inches

Cardiology
(6cm)
CPR 30 compressions and 2 breaths
A: Airway
Clear airway obstruction/secretions
Head tilt-chin lift or jaw-thrust
Insert oropharyngeal airway
B: Breathing
Bag-mask device ventilation with supplementary oxygen
(minimum flow rate of 10 to 12L/min)
Tight seal between face and mask
Cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths before advanced
airway
D: When defibrillator arrives: check rhythm
If shockable rhythm (VF/pulseless VT) given 1 shock
(biphasic 200J, or monophasic 360J), resume CPR immediately
until next rhythm check or patient moves
If non-shockable rhythm continue CPR
