First Aid CPR Procedure

Our training provides information and instruction about hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and CPR with rescue breaths.

Hands-only CPR

To convey out a chest compression:

1. Position the heel of your hand on the breastbone at the centre of the person’s chest. Place your other hand on top of your first hand and interlock your fingers.
2. Place yourself with your shoulders over your hands.
3. Utilize your body weight (not just your arms), thrust straight down by 5-6cm (2-2.5 inches) on their chest.
4. Keeping your hands on their chest, release the compression and allow the chest to return to its original position.  
5. Repeat these compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 times per minute until an ambulance arrives or you become exhausted.

While you  are calling for an ambulance, telephone systems now exist that can give basic life-saving instructions, including advice about CPR. These are now common and are easily reachable with mobile phones.

CPR with rescue breaths

If you’ve been trained in CPR, including rescue breaths, and feel confident using your skills, you should give chest compression with rescue breaths. If you're not completely confident, attempt hands-only CPR instead (see above).

Adults

1. Place the heel of your hand on the centre of the person's chest, then place the other hand on top and press down by 5-6cm (2-2.5 inches) at a steady rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
2. After every 30 chest compressions, give two rescue breaths.
3. Slope the casualty's head gently and lift the chin up with two fingers. Pinch the person’s nose. Seal your mouth over their mouth and blow steadily and Strongly into their mouth for about one second. Examine that their chest rises. Supply with two rescue breaths.
4. Ongoing with cycles of 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths till they begin to recover or emergency help arrives.
