Now, we've looked at CPR and we just looked at continual chest compressions. Now, this is quite hard work. The general recommendations are that, after about two minutes, the effectiveness of your CPR is gonna be reduced, so the recommendation would be to try and hand over to somebody else. Now, if nobody's there, then don't worry. You just need to carry on the best you can, but you will start feeling tired. In a training environment, it's sometimes easier to feel tired, whereas on a real-life environment, you're gonna have adrenaline in your body, you're gonna keep going, you're gonna be scared, you're gonna be worried. I'm not saying you can't carry on for longer than two minutes, but this is a general guideline. So what you need to do is you need to find somebody who can help you. You need to explain to them what you're doing. Now, you can talk and give compressions. The important thing is just don't stop doing the compressions. You can stop doing the breaths, that's no problem, while you explain what you're actually doing, and then hand over in an effective manner to the second rescuer. Right. The ambulance is gonna be about 10 minutes and there's no AED unit here. Right. Okay. Can you, have you ever done CPR before? No, I haven't. Okay. Well, what we're gonna do is just get you to help me. Okay. Now, you don't need to do the breaths. I just need you to do compressions. So you see how I've got my hands? Yep. Just do that with your hands now. Kneel down next to them. What I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna give two more breaths and straightaway afterwards, I want you to push down and you're gonna be pushing down about five to six centimeters, but I'll talk you through it. Okay? Okay. So don't push down 'til I tell you. But before we do anything, can you put that pair of gloves on? The blue ones. Yes. Okay. Now, I'm gonna do two breaths, and then I want you to push down. But I'll tell you what to do. Okay. Okay. Hands together. Surround the chest. Push down. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, a little bit deeper. A little bit deeper. That's good. Let's keep that going with that. You okay? Yes. As you've seen, it's quite straightforward to hand over to someone and it's also very easy to give them confidence and take away their worries or their fears. It may be they're not willing to give those breaths, so just get them doing chest compressions. It's a very straightforward, easy way, and you can very quickly work as a team with somebody until the emergency services arrive and you could hand over to the professionals.
Optimizing CPR Efforts: Sharing the Work and Guidelines
1. The Importance of Sharing CPR Efforts
Providing CPR can be physically demanding and exhausting. To maintain effectiveness, consider sharing the work with another rescuer.
- Collaboration with another rescuer helps alleviate fatigue.
- CPR training is not essential for the second rescuer; instructions can be provided.
2. Coordinated CPR Assistance
Efficiently coordinate CPR efforts with a second rescuer:
- The primary rescuer guides and demonstrates the required actions while performing chest compressions.
- During the breaths phase, the second rescuer prepares to immediately resume compressions once the breaths are completed.
3. Rotation Every Two Minutes
Maintain CPR effectiveness through regular rotation:
- Consider swapping roles every two minutes to combat rescuer fatigue.
- If you have no additional assistance and become tired, focus on chest compressions, taking a break from breaths.
4. Staying Updated with CPR Guidelines
Stay informed with the latest CPR guidelines:
- Adhere to the 2021 UK and European Resuscitation Council guidelines.
- Stay prepared for future updates and revisions.
