Chest compressions combined with ventilation or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation can greatly improve the survival chances of people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. According to new American Heart Association guidelines, chest compressions should come first when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). People who are well-trained in CPR are more likely to give high-quality chest compressions that include compressions at the proper depth and rate, correct chest recoil, and least interruptions in chest compressions.
There are certain medical emergencies that cause a person to be unresponsive and to stop breathing normally. In such cases, CPR that includes mouth mouth-to-mouth breathing may provide more advantage than chest compressions. Mouth-to-mouth breathing can be beneficial in situations like unresponsive infants and children, anyone who is found already unresponsive and not breathing normally, victims of drowning, drug overdose, or collapse due to breathing problems.
Trained people are more confident about their skills as compared to those who have not been trained. So, get yourself trained by joining CPR Training in Fairfield, providing skills training and practice that can prepare you to perform high-quality chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing.
