You should credit the site you got the pictures from.

I have a Cpr license and I can vouch for this guy, hes about as accurate as you'll find on Sythe.

what does tapping the collar bone do?

 

I feel like it is now my duty to give CPR.. Very good guide.. great charts and pictures.. 9/10!

 

Very nice guide and detailed. 10/10 .

 

Why would you check their mouth for saliva? Saliva does not obstruct the airway passage enough for you to not be able to breath.

 

Very educational guide, nice to see these. ^_^ Even looks good too!

good overview and i think it should be compulsary to learn this at schools coz you never know when u will need it

 

Nice Guide, It will help alot of people that have little understanding of CPR.

 

Meh, this definitely can't take the place of a course on CPR or anything like that but for a basic guide, it's not that bad. BTW, the rules of CPR have changed; it's now 30 compressions (adult, child, infant) and 2 breaths in a total of about 30 seconds. You also forgot to mention the part where you call EMS. Other than that though, very nice, simple guide that could (at some point...) come in handy.

One more thing; CPR does NOT restart the heart. Ever. All it can do is circulate blood, giving the victim more time. The rescue breaths (done every 30 compressions) are fake breaths, and your compressions act as a fake heart-beat. The heart itself CANNOT be restarted, so it's important to continue CPR until EMS arrives. If you can't get an EMS (your phone's not working or w/e), all you can really do is hope the person's heart never actually stopped.

And yes, I know it's old as hell but after Kamakazy gravedug, I might as well post my thoughts.

 

Good guide if you already know how to do CPR but for someone completely new its probably advised for them to take a course. The only mistake in your procedures is that you no longer check for pulse. If they are unconscious they are in need of CPR, and if they are dead then it won't hurt them. However, it has been decided that checking for a pulse is a waste of time, and although it only takes 10-20 seconds, that can increase a chance of living by 5-10%.
This is a relatively recent decisions, however (made about September last year), so I understand if you do not know about it. Just edit it out.
Otherwise, pretty good guide 8/10 nice work.

 

You might want to add that if you do stop, you need to find someone who can take your place before you stop, otherwise that person is dead.

 

And after you give CPR..dont say you learned to..by reading a forum on sythe.org lol

 

thanks i didn't know that

 

Remember, After you do CPR always treat for shock.

 

Another thing I noticed you shouldn't give full compressions to infants. I can't entirely remember why but our health teacher said that it could cause damage to their bodies, along with not breathing in their mouth like you would an adult because their lung capacity isn't near an adult's.

 

uh, you don't give a full compression because you'll crush the baby and probably break some of its bones.

 

This is a really well written guide lol, ive always wonder what to do if that situation was to ever occur and know i know, ty
