use of mouth-to-mouth ventilation had been in 1732‚ involving a coal miner in Dublin‚ and the first major publication describing the resuscitation of near drowning victims was in 1896. However‚ it was not until 1958 that Dr. Peter Safar demonstrated mouth-to-mouth ventilation to be superior to other methods of manual ventilation.

| Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation | | | Naqavia Avent | 4/9/2013 | | The basic knowledge of CPR is something that everyone should know. It could be used to save people lives in any situation. It doesn’t have to be done by a doctor or anyone in the medical field‚ it can be performed by any ordinary person. This is something most people don’t realize until after they are in the situation where they will have to have it done. In my research paper I will explain the history of CPR‚

2010 AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (AHA) Guidelines: The ABCs of CPR Rearranged to "CAB" According to the AHA‚ chest compressions should be started immediately on anyone who is unresponsive and is not breathing normally. Oxygen will be present in the lungs and bloodstream within the first few minutes‚ so initiating chest compressions first will facilitate distribution of that oxygen into the brain and heart sooner. Previously‚ starting with "A" (airway) rather than "C" (compressions) caused significant

CPR‚ Adult Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a skill that almost anyone can learn to perform. It can be lifesaving when performed on a person whose breathing or heartbeat has stopped. When the heart stops beating‚ the flow of blood to the brain and other vital organs also stops. This usually causes brain damage or death if not treated within minutes. CPR consists of steps that are based on the CAB sequence: chest compressions‚ airway‚ and breathing. If you see an adult collapse and lose

I. Introduction a. Audience hook: Lives could be saved if more of the population was trained in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). According to the Heart Rhythm Society “An estimated 382‚800 people experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in the United States each year” (Sudden Cardiac Arrest Facts). Only 32% SCA victims get CPR because most bystanders do not have training. Training CPR and AED would save lives (About SCA: Sudden Cardiac
