Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that combines chest

compressions often with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain
function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and
breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. There are two main stages to CPR: the
preparation stage and the CPR stage.

Use CPR when an adult is not breathing or when they are only gasping occasionally, and when
they are not responding to questions or taps on the shoulder.
In children and infants, use CPR when they are not breathing normally and not responding.
Check that the area is safe, then perform the following basic CPR steps:
1.Call 911 or ask someone else to.
2.Lay the person on their back and open their airways.
3.Check for breathing. If they are not breathing, start CPR.
4.Perform 30 chest compressions.
5.Perform two rescue breaths.
6.Repeat until an ambulance or automated external defibrillator (AED) arrives.

First Aid: Bandaging

Bandaging is the process of covering a wound or an injured part. The main goal of bandaging is
to secure a dressing and protect the wound or injury.
Step 1. Dress the wound
•Put on gloves or use other protection to avoid contact with the victim's blood.
•Clean the wound with mild soap and water.
•Apply a small layer of topical antibiotic if desired.
•Place a clean dressing over the entire wound. Gauze dressings let in air for faster healing.
•If blood soaks through the dressing, place another dressing over the first one.
Step 2. Cover the bandage
•Wrap roller gauze or cloth strips over the dressing and around the wound several times.
•Extend the bandage at least an inch beyond both sides of the dressing.
•Don't wrap the bandage so tight that it interferes with blood flow to healthy tissue.
Step 3. Secure the bandage
•Tie or tape the bandage in place.
•Don't secure the bandage so tight that fingers or toes become pale or blue.
Step 4. Check circulation
•Check circulation in the area below the bandage after several minutes and again after several
hours. If circulation is poor, the skin may look pale or blue or feel cold. Signs of poor circulation
also include numbness and tingling.
•If circulation is reduced, loosen the bandage immediately. If symptoms continue, seek medical
attention.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies,

including a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has
stopped.
Step 1. Dress the wound
•Put on gloves or use other protection to avoid contact with the victim's blood.
•Clean the wound with mild soap and water.
•Apply a small layer of topical antibiotic if desired.
•Place a clean dressing over the entire wound. Gauze dressings let in air for faster healing.
•If blood soaks through the dressing, place another dressing over the first one.
Step 2. Cover the bandage
•Wrap roller gauze or cloth strips over the dressing and around the wound several times.
•Extend the bandage at least an inch beyond both sides of the dressing.
•Don't wrap the bandage so tight that it interferes with blood flow to healthy tissue.
Step 3. Secure the bandage
•Tie or tape the bandage in place.
•Don't secure the bandage so tight that fingers or toes become pale or blue.
Step 4. Check circulation
•Check circulation in the area below the bandage after several minutes and again after several
hours. If circulation is poor, the skin may look pale or blue or feel cold.
Bandaging
Bandaging is the process of covering a wound or an injured part. The main goal of bandaging is
to secure a dressing and protect the wound or injury.
•Make sure the person is comfortable and tell them what you're doing.
•Keep the injured part of the body supported in the position it'll be in when the bandage is on.
•Use the right size bandage – different parts of the body need different widths of bandage.
•Avoid covering fingers or toes when bandaging a limb so you can easily check the circulation.
•Apply the bandage firmly, but not tightly, and secure the end by folding it over and tying a
knot in the end. As soon as the bandage is on, ask if it feels too tight and check the circulation
by pressing on a fingernail or a piece of skin until it turns pale. If the colour doesn't return
straight away, the bandage may be too tight, so you should loosen it.
