Continuous Chest Compression CPR - Mayo Clinic

Imagine you're at the mall and a man or woman collapses. Fortunately, you can increase or even triple that person's chance of survival if you start CPR. Mayo Clinic doctors say that a modified form of CPR will save more lives. It's easier to learn, easier to do and you don't have to blow in someone's mouth.

At the very end, she says this is not to be used for cases of respiratory failure. Sorry to be clueless but what is the difference between respiratory failure and cardiac arrest? How are we supposed to tell them apart?

[mayoclinic]

From Dr. Bentley Bobrow: When someone suddenly collapses that is most commonly a cardiac arrest.

When someone is having difficulty breathing, choking, drowning, they need ventilation.

Please........ ALWAYS, ALWAYS CHECK FOR A PULSE FIRST !!! It takes three seconds. The person may be unconscious, and not respond to pain stimuli, due to many other causes; hypoglycemia, stroke, diabetic ketoacidosis, closed head injury, etc.

@mayoclinic First of all u SHOULD DO A PERFECT PRESENTATION if u decide to one... in that one i saw 3 common mistakes...

1) Dr's finger's "touch" patient's chest what may be a reason to broken ribs

2) a bit too fast compressions

3 the 2 guy do compressions withouth his elbows strighten ( not with full body weight..)

cheers

What is someone just passes out (non-cardiac cause). I don't want someone coming up to me and saying, "hey mister, are you OK" while they try to wake me up. I'm non-responsive so they start CPR...when I may not need it.

@ThaSatan666 The heart is not on the left side, unlike common belief.

It is simply slightly tilted to the left and only on the bottom tip of it, the part connected to the diaphragm.

o3o

so many things that woman said sounded wrong XD

but this is informative and i'm glad i watched it :D

[kinamoni]

@ThaSatan666 the pressure is applied to the center of the chest directly on the sternum (bone), in order to compress the heart. in the video you see the fingers overlaying the right chest, but the pressure is applied by the sole of the hand.

by the way, in CPR airway (breathing) comes before circulation (blood flow) but apparently people give poor mouth to mouth (which can be also problematic for the giver regarding diseases and what not) so the main thing is really to give chest compressions.
