CPR and AED

New CPR Sequence

Compressions A compression is the act of pushing on the chest People often don’t push hard enough because they’re afraid of hurting the victim An injury is unlikely, but it is better than death It is better to push too hard than not hard enough

Compressions

Give Breaths Compressions are the most important part of CPR If you are also able to give breaths, you will help even more Your breaths need to make the chest rise When the chest rises, you know the person has taken in enough air
