THE K!SS OF LIFE
I call it k!SS of life because,it has saved a life before and have I done it ?, yes I have.
CPR is one k!SS that has saved lives and it's still saving life.
CPR also know as cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the first Aid given to an individual who just experienced or is about to experience heart attack before the ambulance get to the location or before the patient is taken to the hospital.
it is the only method approved by AHA (American Health Association) for non medical personnel to issue to an individual by who is having a cardiac arrest.
PROCEDURE TO ISSUE CPR TO A PATIENT
When the crisis has started,call your emergency number.
1. Sit the patient up with his or her head high, knee raise to equal length with the chest.
2. Support the back with a pillow on a wall.
3. Check for pulse and breathing for at least 10 seconds.
4. If he has no allergies, administered 300g of aspirin to the patient, if he or she has,skip.
5. Do a chest compression at least 5 times for the patient if the breathing comes as interval, it will help his chest to swell .
6. Issue the k!SS of life,give the individual a mouth to mouth respiration,to activate brain function,and restore nerves that helps in irritability.
7. If the patient doesn't respond,do the chest compression at least 30 times and this time do it harder and issue the mouth to mouth respiration again before your health care provider arrives or before you get to the hospital.
The might not be the total solution but it helps the patient stand a chance to survive again.
This is approved by AHA (American Health Association), for individual who are not medical practitioner to administer to patient who has cardiac arrest before taking him or her to the hospital.
Remember you are not wealthy until you are healthy.
