CPR Method / Life Saving Technique

CPR Method – A Life Saving Skill


Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure used when a person’s heart or breathing has stopped, such as in cardiac arrest, drowning, or choking. The main goal of CPR is to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and vital organs until professional medical help arrives.


Basic life support technique


For Adults (both for male and female):

Place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest, just below the nipple line, and the other hand on top. Keep arms straight and shoulders directly above hands. Push hard and fast at a depth of about 5 cm (2 inches) with a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute. After 30 compressions, give 2 rescue breaths if trained, tilting the head back, lifting the chin, and sealing your mouth over theirs. If you are not trained or uncomfortable giving breaths, continue chest compressions only.


For Infants (under 1 year):

Use two fingers in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line. Compress about 4 cm (1.5 inches) at the same rate of 100–120 per minute. If two rescuers are present, use the two-thumb encircling technique. Give 30 compressions and 2 gentle rescue breaths.


For Children (1–8 years):

Use one or two hands depending on size, compress about 5 cm, at 100–120 per minute, followed by 2 rescue breaths.


Remember, CPR does not restart the heart but buys crucial time until defibrillation and advanced medical care are available. Learning and practicing CPR can save lives in critical situations.
