What Is CPR and How Are People Injured Getting CPR During an Emergency Response Situation?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR is the emergency procedure of using chest compressions and artificial ventilation to manually preserve a person’s intact brain function, until you can get the person to an emergency facility to overall work to preserve the person’s life. People need to get properly certified before using CPR on a person in an emergency situation. The seven steps of using CPR include:
- Checking for danger.
- Calling for help.
- Checking the person’s airway for an obstruction and removing it if possible.
- Giving two rescue breaths.
- Performing chest compressions.
- Switching roles with someone else to keep it going.
- Continuing chest compressions until medical assistance from a certified team arrives on the scene.
People are getting injured during receiving CPR. This is for several reasons, including someone performing CPR incorrectly and causing injuries to the victim, such as with:
- Using the wrong hand for chest compressions
- Breaking ribs or breaking the end of the breastbone
- Delay in administering CPR
- Bruising or bleeding in the liver, lung or spleen
- Bouncing chest compressions in the wrong place
- Ineffective chest compressions
- Internal injuries from CPR
- Loss of critical oxygen to the brain
- Compressing the chest too deeply
- Decreasing blood flow to the brain and other vital organs
- Reducing chance victim will survive
- Too much air going into victim’s stomach
- Brain damage and injury
- Using breath volumes that are too big
- Not opening the airway completely before starting CPR
- Death from overused CPR
