CASE A 45-year-old man,a heart patient suddenly fainted, no pulse and can't feel his vitals, no sound of heart beat when his blood pressure was checked and he is slightly breathing. What is you going to do in this situation if you hear slightly the sound of heart beat after applying the stethoscope on heart.He is in cardiac arrest.So what will you do in this situation???
CPR(Cardiopulmonary resuscitation)
CPR is a life-saving method, sometimes performed when the heart stops beating and cardiac arrest occurs. Heart attack and cardiac arrest occurs immediately so if no one can see lying unconscious person in front of us then you have to perform a few steps to save his life.
As soon as someone is unconscious or at home or on the street, you should first call an ambulance.You have to call and in the meantime you have to keep the patient alive.
Lay the patient down and when you hear his breathing approaching, if you hear a breathing sound, immediately open his airways.
Then place the palm of your hand in the middle of his chest as shown in the picture and be careful not to press hard because of Ribs.
And then press the chest with your hands repeatedly and every thirty times it will need to some air.
And at that time a person is not in his senses, then there is not so much time.If an apparatus is arranged immediately, then it's valid good but you have to do mouth to mouth CPR.
After 30 compressions,then stop compressing it and then close his nose and blow in his mouth with your mouth and blow twice. Make sure that no air escapes and it should go into his mouth.
Keep performing until you reach the hospital and be rescued there.
Can it only perform by doctors?? No no it can be used in case of any emergency and anyone can perform it.
NOTE
Everyone should have a vasodilator like Adrenaline in their homes, especially in the home of those who are heart patients.And inject it immediately in case of cardiac arrest and this injection is IV(intravenous).
If you've any question regarding CPR,feel free to ask...
