Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): Simple steps to save a life - First Aid Training video
Resumo
TLDRThis video provides instructions on performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when someone collapses and is not breathing. It emphasizes remembering the sequence "Doctors ABC (and D)": ensure the area is safe (Danger), check for a Response by gently shaking and speaking to the person, Shout for help if no response, ensure Airway is clear by tilting the head back, check for normal Breathing, and take steps to maintain Circulation through chest compressions. If trained, you can give rescue breaths, otherwise focus solely on compressions. An optional step D is Defibrillation, using an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) to restart the heart. Seek training for hands-on practice and share the information widely.

It introduces the 'Doctors ABC' approach: 'D' for danger, ensuring the area is safe; 'R' for response, checking for a reaction; 'S' for shouting for help; 'E' for airway, opening it by tilting the head; 'B' for breathing, checking for normal respiration; and 'C' for circulation, performing chest compressions. The procedure for chest compressions is detailed, and the role of rescue breaths is explained for those trained.
