The following table shows the main operations to be performed and the relative visual-text-vocal commands provided
by Saver One
Type of command
(Saver One )
Operations to be performed
“Begin Cardio-Pulmonary
Resuscitation”
A. Make sure the patient is lying on a flat surface
B. Kneel beside the victim
C. Place the heel of one hand in the centre of the victim's chest
D. Place the heel of the other hand over the first one
E. Interlace the fingers of both hands and make sure that the
pressure is not applied to the ribs. Do not exert any pressure on
the upper portion of the abdomen or the lower portion of the
sternum
“Quickly compress the patient's
chest”
F. Stand vertically on the victim's chest and, with arms extended,
compress the sternum. Keeping the arms stretched, the external
cardiac massage is exercised using the weight of the trunk; the
oscillation movement must be from pivoting on the coxo-
femoral joint
G. After each compression release all pressure from the chest
without losing contact between one's hands and the sternum;
repeat the manoeuvre with a frequency of 100 / min (a little less
than 2 compressions per second)
H. The compression and release phase must be approximately
equal in duration
The Saver One signals with a
BEEP every compression to be
performed.
“Perform two breaths”
“Exhale”
“Exhale”
Immediately open the air passage using the head and chin
towards the back manoeuvre
Perform two insufflations
The rescuer inhales normally and keeping the chin lifted with
two fingers, make the lips adhere around the mouth of the
injured person. The contralateral hand closes the nostrils to avoid
air release and keeps the head in hyperextension. Blow out the
air by performing a normal expiration lasting about 1 second.
The Saver One will repeat STEP 1 to 3 for about 2 minutes
Follow the voice and text instructions of the Saver One until
the device stops the CPR phase (about 2 minutes)
