Anyone with any of these symptoms should call 911 or the number of the closest emergency department.
You can do manual chest compressions if the person stops breathing before emergency services:
- Put your fingers together and put the base of your hands in the middle of the chest.
- Ensure the shoulders are placed over the hands and the embows are locked.
- Press hard and fast. The ideal rate is 100-120 compressions every minute. Ensure every compression reaches a depth of 2 inches.
- Don’t stop the compressions until the person gains his breath or moves
- You can switch with someone to continue the compression, but you must not stop the compression at any time.
- If the compression seems ineffective, you can use an automatic external defibrillator (AED): You can get an AED in many places. It provides a shock that helps bring the heart back to life. You can follow the guidelines on the defibrillator to ensure you use them well.
