6. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (combination of chest compressions and
rescue breaths)
a) Chest compressions
1) Position of chest compressions
• Position the heel of one hand in the center of the chest, approximately between the
nipples, and place your other hand on top of the one that is in position.
2) Perform chest compressions
• The speed of compression is about 100-120
times per minute, 30 times continuously,
stretching the elbow continuously and
compressing vertically.
• With each compression, depress the chest
wall to a depth of approximately about 5 cm.
b) Combination of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths
1) Untrained rescuers will only perform chest compressions.
2) If the rescuer is trained in artificial respiration and has the skills and intention to perform
artificial respiration, perform chest compressions and artificial respiration at a ratio of 30: 2
times.
3) If you are concerned about infection, use protective equipment: mouthpiece for artificial
respiration.
4) Continuously perform the combination of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths
without interruption.
5) If there are two or more first-aiders, alternate with each other approximately every two
minutes (five cycles of compressions and ventilations at a ratio of 30:2) without interruption.
