I'm getting CPR certified on Monday. This video was great to get ahead of everyone else since we have only two hours to learn and pass the test. Thanks! :)
Thank you. A close friend had cardiac arrest in a cycle class and his life has been saved by class mates doing cpr. Made me realise I needed to refresh my memory. Good video. Hope I never had to use it.
This was an excellent video! At one point " the instructor" apologizes for repeating himself and I have to say there is no need to apologize at all. Reiterating the important substance that can mean a matter of life and death can always use repeating. Again thank you very much and I will send a email to learn more. Great job Sir.
Good day Sir I'm arnold Suralta from Mati City philippines, thank you for this video for providing the updated CPR.. how I wish i could train many people to do CPR however my present station doesn't have training mannequin. Mati City Fire Station Davao Oriental Philippines
Our new videos are due out by the end of the month so please stop by and watch them. The new compression guideline calls for "at least two inches, but not more than 2.4 inches". Touch one right? However, what they're saying is that too deep of a compression can be harmful also. Not giving you very much room for error but as long as you have a guide, we now understand that your compressions for adults have an upper limit this was added in the new recommendations. The courses and videos are being updated now.
Hi Andrew, Yes, AHA made mention of a prone position back in 2010 but didn't mention it again since then. Here's what they released: "When the patient cannot be placed in the supine position, it may be reasonable for rescuers to provide CPR with the patient in the prone position, particularly in hospitalized patients with an advanced airway in place." To my knowledge, that's the only statement that they made regarding a prone position but I'll do some research and mention it on our website. We're due for the new videos next week and an update in the course material of the minor modifications of the guidelines and we plan on answering questions that we get asked from time to time. Some of them are whether to use an AED on a pregnant woman, a person with a pacemaker, etc. We'll also address CPR from the prone position and even add a video. Thank you for your input! Great question!
I really enjoyed watching this video. I also believe the repetitive comments mentioned in the video were absolutely necessary for those who need to brand the words into their minds for use later (including me). You know, just to make sure you do not forget. Great informative video. Thanks for this.
Jasons, hands-only CPR has been proven as effective as CPR with rescue breaths in case you get yourself in a situation where you are unable, or unwilling, to perform rescue breaths.
when calling for help by yourself...why not put the phone on speaker while you start CPR if you know what you are doing...especially when calling on a cell it takes an excessive time to get routed to the right dispatcher....even on the landline....there is a delay while it gets routed to EMS dispatch..
I/We were trained to continue as long as you can, until you become exhausted, or Help arrives. Responding to some comments below...Dont worry about Shaking the Patient to hard or even cracking ribs during compressions (Geriatric Patients) If the patient has no pulse or is not breathing, that is your emergency to worry about
I have a question. What if you're worried about breaking a rib or something like that especially if the person is elderly? I've heard it's better to act than not but I would like to be sure.
It's a tough call Meredith but if a person is not breathing, a cracked rib or damage to the sternum is going to be the lesser of two evils. In many cases, there is damage to the sternum because "at least two inches" is a very deep compression but as I said, it's the lesser of two evils.
I know things have changed since I've been certified.. But I thought you were supposed to put hand over hand.. Not interlocking fingers.Also.. No checking for pulse??
between nipples is misleading, i had one patient before, her breasts are sagging, so the nipples are way below the sternum, please correct this. Thank you.
If you want to make your own video then go ahead. between the nipples is just a general idea. And this guy made an excellent video with simply the basics of CPR. People still need to take classes to actually get certified. If you think you can do a better job then you make your own video.
While you're correct Jojan, to make the guidelines uniform, "between the nipples" is how it's written. You can use the center of the breasts if that makes it easier. It's a judgement call as many things are when a person becomes unconscious. Thank you!
Great video, just have a few clarification questions: Do you call 911 first if its an infant? Do you put the infant on the floor or table to do CPR? If there are 2 people doing CPR is its still 30 compression 2 breathes?
What I was taught in school is that if the child is over 8 years old you do call 911 first because it could be heart failure and might need a defibrillator, if not, you start CPR and after 5 cycles you call 911. and if there are 2 people its 15 compressions 2 breathes
Hi Christina! For an infant, you perform 5 cycles of CPR before calling 911. Studies have shown that if an infant is unconscious, it's more likely a respiratory problem, rather than a heart problem so if the infant is not breathing, CPR before calling. Yes, if possible, place the infant on the floor or hard surface. Make sure the chest rises and falls so you know the baby is getting air and if not, back blows and abdominal thrusts if necessary. With two people performing CPR, it's 15 compressions to 2 rescue breaths. That process will be in our new videos, scheduled for the end of the month.
Maria, a child is now defined as infant through the onset of puberty, usually between 12 and 14. If unconscious, "call first" for an adult and 5 cycles of CPR for infants and children. See my response to Christina. You are correct with the ratio for two people and thank you for your input!
If a person has suffered a cardiac arrest, we have called for an Ambulance, but what if there is no pulse or breathing. what do we do, should we still perform CPR?
+Jasons Shillongs yes! after calling 911, check for signs of life, start CPR ASAP! with every minute that the CPR is delayed, the chance for survival is reduced by 10%
hi, i got a question. If a person suffer a cardiac attack and he has no pulse and he isn't breathing. Which is the better option? Do the cpr in location and wait for an ambulance or try to get him to the nearest hospital while doing cpr in a car. Thanks in advance, sorry for my english.
***** Hi, I have a question, what if the person gets his pulse back (because the AHA no longer recommends the pulse check), but I don't notice that. Is it bad for a person to still recieve CPR while he got his pulse back? Sorry for my english if I wrote something wrong. Greetings from Chile
***** I'd like to recommend the AHA make up the f#(%ing minds and stop with "new" recommendations every year. Can you imagine if your doctor changed his mind every year? You would never go back.
+Adam Proctor changes are based on new information in the field. would you like your doctor to keep using leeches to cure you so he doesn't ever change his methods or learn about new techniques, medicines or advances in the field? Just sayin'
you wanna make sure your arms are through the Nissan Altimus and then right below the Pathfinder and push on to the Nissan Maximus and then check the Nissan Sentras and see if his Regis Philbin is ok
Very informative and clear, but my goodness, lots of repeating exactly the same words and phrases one after another. Maybe some people benefit from excessive repetitiveness.
When I give a live class Lindsay, I sometimes have to repeat and explain certain parts of the course over and over. I tried to duplicate the video and repeat the same parts in the video. I'll tone it down for the new videos. Thanks for the input.
Gerry, the way our course was set up, you can take the course and the quiz and if you don't pass the quiz, you can review the course material and take the quiz as many times as it takes to understand the info and pass the quiz. You don't have to pay more than one time.
Does someone has to be taken to your living room first, before you can start to use CPR on them? Anyway, me and some friends of mine practice CPR on eachother every now and then. Anyway, I gave one of my friends a whiplash, in the neck, by shaking him too hard, but indeed you should start with the pushing. It happened to be way faster most of the time. CPR is rather easy, none of us had to be taken to the hospital to get defibrillated or anything.
Sir, midway between the nipples might not work especially if that person has pendulum breasts, correct? Is there another way to know where to compress? Thanks!
You check to see if a person is breathing "at the same time" as you check for responsiveness. Shake the person and check for breathing simultaneously. The key here is you shouldn't spend two much time checking for breathing and delay the start of CPR if that person is unconscious and not breathing.
If there is something in his mouth and you wont do the rescue breaths because of that, ask someone to clear it, try to clean it with maybe a (wet) t shirt while youre doing the compressions and after its cleaned, do the rescue breaths? I mean personally Id rather do that than let someone die just because Im disgusted...
+Emanuel Lorenzana Yes. In February 16 AHA released its BLS for the Healthcare Provider. It will release ACLS this month. Heartsaver CPR AED will be released Apr-May 16. There are minimal changes.
It can't hurt to learn CPR but keep in mind, The Good Samaritan Laws will protect you ONLY to the extent of your training. In other words, if you're trained in CPR, you can't do surgery on a person because that wasn't included in your training. If you're never had proper CPR training, the Good Samaritan Laws might not protect you.
Thanks for uploading this video, CPR always reminds me of the verse {Whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely} Quran (5:32)
thank you for this great video just passed my CPR test have a blessed day
Thank you! Taking my CPR class today and your video was very helpful.
Did this to a girl in my class thank you. I got a few things out of it. Now I'm her "hero".

I really enjoyed watching this video. I also believe the repetitive comments mentioned in the video were absolutely necessary for those who need to brand the words into their minds for use later (including me). You know, just to make sure you do not forget. Great informative video. Thanks for this.
I always wondered how could I save a friend or opponent from a Cardiac Arrest. This video has taught me well. and I will help others if ever needed.
Jasons, hands-only CPR has been proven as effective as CPR with rescue breaths in case you get yourself in a situation where you are unable, or unwilling, to perform rescue breaths.
Great video! Attending a recertification class this evening - thought I get a head start by viewing your video.
U can call emergency n put phone on speakers n put near u, and like u can do cpr and call at same time. So not wasting time. N save people.
Thank you for putting this on. Very clear and demonstrated.
Yeah I'm 12 years of age and I have to get certified today thank you it helped
Shocking B , was it for H.O.P.E.?
Bob Schnitzenheimer thinks so but cant remember btw I passed
Shocking B Cool, I just finished my course recently
when calling for help by yourself...why not put the phone on speaker while you start CPR if you know what you are doing...especially when calling on a cell it takes an excessive time to get routed to the right dispatcher....even on the landline....there is a delay while it gets routed to EMS dispatch..
Thank you so much for a great video.
Great Instructional Video to Refresh Current CPR Guidelines. Good Job
You just explained it very well...thank you..:)
Thank you very much, very informative!
thanks dude my class is working on C.P.R your video is extremely helpful
Very good video. Nice and thorough. Cheers.

learn something today! Great!
ABC is Airway Breathing Circulation, NOT Airway Breathing Compression
A bit repetitive as previously mentioned, but very informative and didactic. Tks!
I have a question. What if you're worried about breaking a rib or something like that especially if the person is elderly? I've heard it's better to act than not but I would like to be sure.

I know things have changed since I've been certified.. But I thought you were supposed to put hand over hand.. Not interlocking fingers.Also.. No checking for pulse??
+Linda Harrison rules changed, no pulse and you don't have to interlock if you don't want to, I do it out of habit.
between nipples is misleading, i had one patient before, her breasts are sagging, so the nipples are way below the sternum, please correct this. Thank you.
If you want to make your own video then go ahead. between the nipples is just a general idea. And this guy made an excellent video with simply the basics of CPR. People still need to take classes to actually get certified. If you think you can do a better job then you make your own video.
+jojan adolfo okay, where do the nipples sag from? there you go. problem solved.
+jojan adolfo the middle of the sternum. if you can feel the tip or end of the sternum, you're too low move a bit up.
While you're correct Jojan, to make the guidelines uniform, "between the nipples" is how it's written. You can use the center of the breasts if that makes it easier. It's a judgement call as many things are when a person becomes unconscious. Thank you!

Daniel Ferreyra would depend how close you are to a hospital and if the victim was in the car to began with
Continue to Perform cpr if not able to get object out. Prevent hitting chest when checking for response.
Thank you for teaching us this stuff
hi i want to ask, after we shout for help, should we gift compression first? or check the circulation or breathing?
Call first!
Sir; won't u check carotid pulse of that person after checking his response?
Thank u so much sir..

my cpr card oct. 2015.. so i can still use this month.. i should renew it before nov
Thank you so much.
What happens if it is not safe ie he had an electric shock?
+Jonathan Ashton they want you to make sure there is no hot wires around the victim and standing water to shock you too
Very informative and clear, but my goodness, lots of repeating exactly the same words and phrases one after another. Maybe some people benefit from excessive repetitiveness.

Great video.
Red cross has already revised the technique since this vid. i just got certified and allot of things are different.
Did I miss a pulse check or has that been eliminated prior to compressions?
It's basically been eliminated Jena, even for healthcare providers.
Ok thanks so much.
Where could I find practice quizzes for CPR
Gerry, the way our course was set up, you can take the course and the quiz and if you don't pass the quiz, you can review the course material and take the quiz as many times as it takes to understand the info and pass the quiz. You don't have to pay more than one time.

how to do it to a pregnant women ?any difference
If there is something in his mouth and you wont do the rescue breaths because of that, ask someone to clear it, try to clean it with maybe a (wet) t shirt while youre doing the compressions and after its cleaned, do the rescue breaths? I mean personally Id rather do that than let someone die just because Im disgusted...
+DanOn2Wheels no you risk exposure. Remember if it's warm and wet it will transmit. Compressions are what they really need.
Taking my LifeGaurding CPR Test today and I'm really nervous...
Very helpful thank you
Do you do two fingers with a large 12-year-old?
No you do two hands
Did aha change it for 2016?
+Emanuel Lorenzana Yes. In February 16 AHA released its BLS for the Healthcare Provider. It will release ACLS this month. Heartsaver CPR AED will be released Apr-May 16. There are minimal changes.
