Procedure for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) using AED
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) If 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 call and bring an
AED.
• Somebody has collapsed. Please help.
• Please call an ambulance.
• Please bring an AED.
• If there is nobody to help, call an ambulance yourself.
5. Check for breathing
a) Look to see if the chest and abdomen are rising and falling.
b) If the injured or ill person is breathing, place him/her in the recovery position
and wait for the arrival of the emergency services.
Are you OK?
Please call an
ambulance.
Please bring
an AED.
