Summary
Specific goal: To inform my audience about the stages of CPR.
Thesis: Artificial respiration includes three main stages respiratory tract, respiration, and blood circulation.
Introduction
-
Imagine a situation where suddenly, one of the people nearby lost consciousness. Which action would you try to take first?
-
I was certified in artificial respiration and used this technique in situations where it was necessary. In addition, I was able to conduct my research on this topic.
-
CPR is a cardiopulmonary resuscitation consisting of three parts: respiratory tract, direct respiration, and blood circulation.
Body
-
The first stage of CPR is the respiratory tract (American Heart Association 1).
-
When a person is unconscious, you should check their airways first.
-
First, tilt the persons head back and gently lift it with your fingers chin, pressing on the forehead with the other hand.
-
Secondly, lean over to the victim and listen carefully for signs of breathing; it will take about 3-5 seconds (Newell et al. 3).
-
-
-
The second stage of artificial respiration is respiration.
-
At this stage, you should perform rescue breathing.
-
First, cover the victims mouth with your mouth, and hold the victims nose with your other hand.
-
Secondly, continue to tilt the victims head back and raise his chin.
-
-
-
The last stage of CPR is blood circulation.
-
Search for signs of blood circulation.
-
If you find signs of blood circulation, place the victim in a recovery position (Moscarelli et al. 2418).
-
-
If the victim does not respond to rescue breaths, start compressing the chest.
-
First, find a position on the lower half of the sternum between the nipples while kneeling in front of the victim.
-
Secondly, place the palm of one hand on the lower half of the sternum and the palm of the other on top of the first hand.
-
-
Now, you can start chest compression.
-
First, do 15 compressions at a rate of 100 compressions per minute, slightly faster than one compression per second.
-
Secondly, stop and take two more life-saving breaths.
-
-
Conclusion
-
A competent check of the respiratory tract, respiration, and blood circulation of the victim can save his life.
-
Now, when someone next to you loses consciousness, you will know what measures need to be taken to save him.
