6. Procedure for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using
the AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
1. Check the scene for safety to prevent secondary disasters
a) Do not touch the injured or ill person in panic when an accident has
occurred. (Doing so may cause electric shock to the first-aiders.)
b) Do not panic and be sure to turn off the power. Then, gently move the
injured or ill person to a safe place away from the electrical circuit.
2. Check for responsiveness
a) Tap the shoulder of the injured or ill and shout in the ear saying, "Are
you OK?"
b) It the person opens his/her eyes or there is some response or gesture,
determine it as "responding." But, if there is no response or gesture,
determine it as "not responding."
3. If responding
a) Give first-aid treatment.
4. If not responding
a) Ask for help loudly. Ask somebody to make an emergency 119 call
and bring an AED.
1) Somebody has collapsed. Please help.
2) Please call 119.
3) Please bring an AED.
4) If there is nobody to help, call 119 yourself.
5. Open the airway
a) Touch the forehead with one hand. Lift the chin with the two fingers of
the middle finger and forefinger of the other hand and push down on
the forehead as you lift the jaw to bring the chin forward to open the
airway. If neck injury is suspected, open the airway by lifting the lower
jaw.
