6. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (combination of chest compressions
and rescue breaths)
a) Chest compressions
1) Position of chest compressions
Position the heel of one hand in the center of the chest, approximately between
the nipples, and place your other hand on top of the one that is in position.
2) Perform chest compressions
Perform 30 times uninterrupted chest
compressions at the rate of about 100 - 120
times per minute, while locking your elbows
positioning yourself vertically above your
hands.
With each compression, depress the chest
wall to a depth of approximately 5 cm.
b) Combination of 30 times chest compressions and 2 times rescue breaths
1) If the first-aider is not trained in rescue breaths, he/she should perform only chest
compressions.
2) If the first-aider is trained in rescue breath, and has the skill and will to do it, he/she
should perform 30 chest compressions, then give 2 rescue breaths.
3) If there is a fear of infection, he/she should use a personal protective equipment
(mouthpiece for rescue breathing).
4) Continuously perform the combination of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue
breaths without interruption.
