☆Treatment to Give When the Patient Has No Pulse
Beating and Has Ceased to Breathe
＊Performing cardiac massage - Fig. 2
If the patient has no pulse beating, with the pupils open and no heartbeat being heard, the patient has
a cardiac arrest and requires immediate artificial respiration. Continue this until a medical specialist
arrives, and follow his or her directions after that.
(1) Putting one hand on about the lower one third of the patient's ribs and the other hand over the
back of the first, with your elbow fully stretched (with bended elbow, you can't press to the extent
the patient's ribs are depressed), apply your body weight to the hands to press the patient's body
until it is depressed about 2 cm (Repeat this about 50 times a minute). (Cardiac massage.)
(2) If only one first-aider is available, perform a cardiac massage about 15 times and then give
mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times. Repeat this sequence. If two first-aiders are
available, while one person performs a cardiac massage 15 times, and the other should give
mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times. Repeat this sequence (combined cardiac massage
and mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration method).
(3) Check the patient's pupils and feel the pulse from time to time. When the pupils are restored to
normal and the pulse begins to beat regularly, stop treating and keep the patient calm while giving
him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink to keep him or her warm while watching him or her
carefully.
