Why?
Studies have shown the importance of immediate CPR followed by defibrillation within 3-5 minutes of sudden VF (Ventricular Fibrillation) cardiac arrest improve survival.
Why?
There are many lives and life-years lost because appropriate resuscitation is not attempted.
Most of the public know little about the details of CPR.
1. Check the safety of the entironment
2. Put the person on his/her back on a firm surface.
3. Kneel next to the person’s neck and shoulders.
Circulation: Restore blood circulation with chest compressions
The estimated incidence of EMS(emergency medical services)-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the China is about 35 to 40/ 100 000 persons / year.
When?
● Cardiac arrest ● Not breathing or not making sufficient respiratory effort on their own
How?
● C ( Circulation ) ● A ( Airway ) ● B ( Breathing )
● If the person isn’t breathing normally, begin artificial respiration.
5.Start the emergency response system,such as phone 120、 catch AED（automatic external difibrillator）…..

Why?
Despite important advances in prevention, cardiac arrest remains a substantial public health problem and a leading cause of death in many parts of the world.

7.Start CPR:Use your upper body weights as you push straight down on the chest at a depth of at least 5-6 cm. Push hard at a rate of about 100 -120 compressions a minute.
♦ In cities such as Seattle where CPR training is widespread and defibrillation by EMS personnel follows quickly, the survival rate is about 30%.
♦ In cites such asБайду номын сангаасNew York, without those advantages, the survival rate is only 1-2%.
4.Check the pulse and breath at 5-10 seconds(count 1001.1002…..1007) Use the index and middle fingers to check the pulse of carotid atery( the middle of anterior edge sernocleidomastoid)

6. Place the heel of one hand over the center of the person’s chest, between the nipples. Place your other hand on top of the fiest hand. Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands.

Airway: Clear the airway
Put your face near the person’s mouth and look for the chest motion at the same time ( Look for chest motion Listen for normal breath sounds Feel for the person’s breath on your cheek and ear)
