How to Perform a CPR Demonstration

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Alv Rios and I'm a Paramedic with Lansing Mercy Ambulance on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to use the different steps and techniques that we have gone over previously and put them together to use one possible scenario that you might run across in real life. Sir, Sir can you hear me? Sir can you hear me? No response, call 911. I'm going to open the airway; look, listen and feel for ten seconds. I don't see or feel any breathing, I'm going to go ahead and give a ventilation now. And I have adequate chest rise, I will give a second ventilation. Again adequate chest rise. I'm going to go ahead and reassess for carotid pulse for five to ten seconds. No pulse. I'm going to now begin CPR. I want to make sure that I move my patient to a hard surface, still maintaining my airway, find my one third; 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. (giving breaths and start pumping again) 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and 10, and 11, and 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. (giving breaths) I have just completed two cycles of my ratio of thirty two compressions. You want to do approximately four of those which will take about two minutes. At the end of that I am now going to reassess my patient. I don't need to check for responsiveness cause I can tell my patient don't have no change in it. I do though want to look listen and feel. Still no response. It didn't get my first ventilation in. I want to make sure I reposition the head. Two adequate ventilations, assess for a pulse. If still no pulse, I will continue CPR and wait for EMS to arrive. If there was a pulse it is safe to say that you should give another round of CPR for at least two more minutes just to kind of help the heart, it has just been restarted and it could use your help assisting it while pumping. If the patient does at any point wake up though it safe to say you can stop your CPR.
