CPR/First Aid/ AED

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving technique used when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. It involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to vital organs. The basic steps for performing CPR are:

1. Check for responsiveness: Tap the person and shout to see if they respond.
2. Call for emergency help: Dial 911 or ask someone else to do so.
3. Begin chest compressions: Place your hands in the center of the chest and push hard and fast, at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
4. Give rescue breaths: After 30 compressions, give 2 rescue breaths by tilting the head back, lifting the chin, and blowing into the person's mouth.
5. Continue CPR: Alternate between 30 compressions and 2 breaths until help arrives or the person shows signs of life.

First Aid refers to the initial care provided to someone experiencing a sudden injury or illness. It includes basic medical interventions to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery until professional medical help arrives. Key components of first aid include:

            1. Assessing the situation: Ensuring the scene is safe and identifying the nature of the injury or illness.

      2. Calling for help: Contacting emergency services if needed.

         3. Providing care: Administering appropriate first aid measures, such as bandaging wounds, performing CPR, or treating burns.
