MAJOR CHANGE IN CPR FOR TEENS AND ADULTS - HANDS-ONLY CPR - 2017
American Heart Association
"Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public spaces," "According
to the American Heart Association, about 90 percent of people who
suffer out of hospital cardiac arrests die. CPR, especially if performed
immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim's chance of
survival."
"Hands-Only CPR has just two easy steps, performed in this order
(1)
Call 9-1-1 in U.S. and Canada, click here emergency phones worldwide if you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse; and
(2) Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of a
familiar song that has 100 to 120 beats per minute. Song examples
include "Stayin'Alive" by the Bee Gees, "Crazy in Love" by
Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira" or "Walk the Line"
by Johnny Cash."

The following 2 procedures are no longer recommended:
Do not try to check pulse.
Do not remove water from lungs if drowning.
Water in the lungs does not obstruct CPR and attempting to remove it may cause damage.

STEPS ON HOW TO DO CPR ON A BABY
If no one else is around,
read ALL of the following below and do the cycle for 2 full minutes before calling emergency, and then continue CPR.
1. If baby does not respond to tapping on shoulder or a shout, lay baby on its back.
2. Open mouth with fingers and be sure that tongue is not blocking throat. Do not do this without looking. Use finger sweep to remove any blockage. Do not do a blind finger sweep. Look at what you are doing.
3. If not possible neck injury, place hand on forehead and other hand under chin, and gently tilt head back to free tongue so as not to block windpipe.
4. Cover mouth and nose with your mouth or hold nose shut and blow 2 times (chest should rise).
If air does not seem to be going through or chest does NOT rise when doing breaths, look inside mouth, and do a finger sweep to remove any blockage. Do not do a blind finger sweep. Look at what you are doing.
5. NOW, put middle two fingers (3rd and 4th) in middle of chest just below level of nipples.
6. Gently press down 30 times about 1/3 of depth of chest at a rate of a little less than about 2 per second (100 per minute)
7. CYCLE:
2 breaths (both mouth and nose covered) and then
30 chest presses (a little less than 2 per second) with middle fingers
8. If you feel pulse return, continue with breaths only.
9. Continue until there is movement or rescue team comes.
10. If baby vomits, turn the head to the side and try to sweep out or wipe off the vomit.
Continue with CPR.

4. Hold nose shut - cover mouth with your mouth and give 2 breaths (each 2 seconds and see chest rise)
If air does not seem to be going through or chest does NOT rise when doing breaths, look inside mouth using finger sweep to remove any blockage. Do not do a blind finger sweep. Look at what you are doing.
5. Then put heel of one hand on the center of the chest (midway between nipples)
6. Press down about 1/3 of depth of chest 30 times at a rate of a little less than about 2 per second (100 per minute)

1. Place on back
2. Open mouth with fingers and be sure that tongue or something else is not blocking throat. Do not do this without looking. Use finger sweep to remove any blockage. Do not do a blind finger sweep. Look at what you are doing.3. If not possibility of neck injury, place hand on forehead and other hand under chin, and gently tilt head back to free tongue so not blocking windpipe

If air does not seem to be going through or chest does NOT rise when doing breaths, look inside mouth using finger sweep to remove any blockage. Do not do a blind finger sweep. Look at what you are doing.

Extra procedure which may add to effectiveness of CPR
(procedure not yet approved by American Heart Association)
Studies indicate that if another person presses down gently on the stomach above naval, immediately after the chest is pressed down, the recovery rate is greater. Must be done in rhythm. See discussion below. Source: See Purdue.edu below.
If person was drowning, do not attempt to remove water from person.
"There
is no evidence that water acts as an obstructive foreign body, and time
should not be wasted in attempting to remove water from
the victim. Such maneuvers can cause injury but--more importantly--will
delay CPR, particularly support of airway and ventilation." [AHA 001]

The Case for Inteposed Abdominal Compression ... - Purdue e-Pubs
CF Babbs - 2013
IAC stands for interposed abdominal compression. IAC-CPR
includes all the steps of conventional external
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with the addition of
interposed abdominal compressions by a second or third
rescuer, applied in counterpoint to the rhythm of chest compression. Pulses
of central abdominal pressure are applied with overlapping hands just
headward of the umbilicus alternating with chest compressions. Scattered
early reports published between 1957 and 1980 hinted at the virtue of
abdominal binding and abdominal compression in the resuscitation of children
and animals from cardiac arrest. In the decade of the 1980s extensive
studies in animals and in electronic models suggested a rough doubling of
systemic blood flow when interposed abdominal compressions were added to
otherwise standard CPR. In the 1990s randomized clinical trials involving
several hundred patients showed a doubling of immediate resuscitation success
and longer term survival with IAC-CPR, compared to standard CPR. American
Heart Association committees on emergency cardiovascular care are currently
evaluating, IAC-CPR in evidence-based reviews of national Guidelines for
both basic and advanced life support.
