Administering CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a crucial skill that can save lives in emergency situations. If you are looking to learn how to administer CPR as part of your Nvq Emergency First Aid at Work course, follow these steps:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Check the scene for safety and ensure that you and the casualty are not in any immediate danger. |
| 2 | Assess the casualty for responsiveness by tapping their shoulders and asking if they are okay. |
| 3 | If the casualty is unresponsive, shout for help and ask someone to call emergency services. |
| 4 | Begin chest compressions by placing the heel of one hand in the center of the casualty's chest, interlocking your fingers, and pushing down firmly at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. |
| 5 | After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths by tilting the casualty's head back, pinching their nose, and giving two breaths into their mouth. |
| 6 | Continue cycles of 30 compressions and two breaths until emergency services arrive or the casualty shows signs of recovery. |
