For all the times your child choked on a nut, or for all the times your older family members showed signs of collapsing and for all the times you received your phone, electricity and credit card bills . . . you wished you had trained yourself in something the medical experts call Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and what we the ordinary / non medical geniuses recognize as CPR. The understanding of CPR has undergone vast changes over many decades and the people at large have finally understood that this life-saving process is not just for the medical experts to know and apply, but is meant for each and every individual irrespective of their profession, gender etc.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation mainly involves three basic elements which is explained as A, B and C of CPR. Here the A stands for clearing the Airway. This ensures that the patient who may be experiencing a collapse or may be severely choking on something is relieved of the obstruction making the air passage clear and thus, avoiding threat to life. The B element is for ensuring normal Breathing. After clearing the obstruction the CPR provider must ensure that the patient is breathing normally and that air reaches the lungs. The C stands for Circulation. Usually chest compressions is used to ensure that the blood circulates to all parts of the body, mainly the brain.
CPR is not as easy as it may read. It is necessary to take proper training and avail professional guidance before applying it on someone who may be in need of it. certification is a must and non negotiable. This however, should not be a reason to avoid taking the lessons. Once involved in the process of being trained, things cease to be complicated as it may have before and the trainee acquires valuable knowledge that enables him / her to save many lives. there are many forms of CPR lessons that a person can avail, healthcare provider CPR being the most sought after.
