FIRST-AID TREATMENTS
vi
Procedure for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Using the AED
(Automated External Defibrillator)
1
Check the scene for safety to prevent secondary disasters
a) Do not touch the injured or ill person in panic when an accident
has occurred. (Doing so may cause electric shock to the first-
aiders.)
b) Do not panic and be sure to turn off the power. Then, gently
move the injured or ill person to a safe place away from the
electrical circuit.
2
Check for responsiveness
a) Tap the shoulder of the injured or ill and shout in the ear saying, "Are you OK?"
b) It the person opens his/her eyes or there is some response or gesture, determine it as
"responding." But, if there is no response or gesture, determine it as "not responding."
3
If responding
a) Give first-aid treatment.
4
If not responding
a) Ask for help loudly. Ask somebody to make an emergency call
and bring an AED.
• Somebody has collapsed. Please help.
• Please call an ambulance. (Call 911,119,112,999 etc. by local
number)
• Please bring an AED.
• If there is nobody to help, call an ambulance by yourself.
5
Open the airway
a) Touch the forehead with one hand. Lift the chin with the two
fingers of the middle finger and forefinger of the other hand and
push down on the forehead as you lift the jaw to bring the chin
forward to open the airway. If neck injury is suspected, open the
airway by lifting the lower jaw.
6
Check for breathing
a) After opening the airway, check quickly for breathing for no more
than 10 seconds. Put your cheek down by the mouth and nose
area of the injured or ill person, look at his/her chest and
abdomen, and check the following three points.
• Look to see if the chest and abdomen are rising and falling.
• Listen for breathing.
• Feel for breath against your cheek.
b) If the injured or ill person is breathing, place him/her in the
recovery position and wait for the arrival of the emergency
services.
• Position the injured or ill person on his/her side, maintain a clear
and open airway by pushing the head backward while positioning
their mouth downward. To maintain proper blood circulation, roll
him/her gently to position them in the recovery position in the
opposite direction every 30 minutes.
