One of the fears of first aid will be fear of putting your mouth down onto somebody else's, fear of getting infection, fear of getting involved within CPR within that level. It may be this person has vomited. It maybe you're doing normal CPR, and now their face is covered in vomit, there may be blood on there, and you haven't got a face shield, you don't have any protection, and you just don't want to put breaths into the mouth. This is not a problem. What you can do is you can do what's called continual chest compressions or chest-only CPR. Within this, what we're doing is we're still doing the compressions, so we're doing continual chest compressions, but that's it. We're not just stopping at 30. We're just going to keep going. What you might find is it's much easier just doing continual chest compressions because you're not bending over to do the breaths. Now, when we're doing normal CPR, we're doing 30 and two. Now, it doesn't really matter if you do 40 and two. Now, I know the guidelines say this, but it's not really a major problem, because if you're doing compressions with somebody and you need to talk to someone, well, just keep going with these compressions. The vital thing is, if you're not doing compressions, you need to be doing breaths, so if you need to talk to someone, just keep on doing these compressions. So, continuous chest-only compressions, we're still using the same part of the hand, we're still interlocking fingers, popping it straight onto the chest, and we are then delivering compressions exactly the same way, pushing down on the chest 5 to 6 centimetres, completely releasing so the heart's got full chance to recover and fill up with blood, and pushing down. We're still doing this at the same speed, 100 to 120 per minute, which is nearly two a second, and we just keep on going, and we keep going within that. It is something that you can practice, or if all else fails and you're out and about and you don't want to get involved in the face, then this is the thing you need to do. One thing people say is, "Well, if I'm just doing chest compressions, does that mean they're not getting any air?" Well, in their body right now, they'll have oxygen within the blood already, so you're still pumping this oxygen around. Also, when we push down on here, we're also pushing down on the chest. When you're breathing, you're typically breathing in and you're breathing out. Well, when you breathe out, there's still loads of trapped air in your lungs. So when we push down on the chest, we're actually forcing air out of the mouth, and when we let go, we will suck some air back in, so there will be an element of air flow every time we do a compression. Twice a second you'll be pushing down and there will be some air flow in and out. This is another way that we can get air in, and with normal CPR we're breathing in 21% oxygen and we're breathing out 16%. Your body uses about 5%. Within chest-only compressions, when we push down, we force air out. We let out. 21% oxygen's going to be doing in. So this will be of benefit for the patient. Not as effective as full breaths, but still good. So if you're worried at all about doing CPR or you're handing over to a second rescuer and they don't want to do the breaths or they don't want to share your face shield, get them to do chest-only compressions. Chest-only compressions will save this person's life if done effectively and if they're very lucky and they get the AED in time and they get other care. These are easy, simple ways to help to try and save someone's life.
Hands-Only CPR: A Simplified Approach to Saving Lives
Hands-only CPR offers a simpler alternative to traditional CPR, encouraging bystanders to assist in emergency situations without hesitation. By eliminating rescue breaths, hands-only CPR focuses on circulating blood and oxygenating vital organs.
The Benefits of Hands-Only CPR
- Increased bystander involvement: Research shows that reluctance to perform rescue breaths can prevent people from providing CPR. Hands-only CPR eliminates this concern.
- Effective circulation: By delivering 5 to 6 cm deep compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, hands-only CPR helps oxygenate the body's tissues and organs without rescue breaths.
- Reduced disease transmission risk: Hands-only CPR removes the mouth-to-mouth component, minimizing the fear of transmitting diseases.
Guidelines for Hands-Only CPR
While performing hands-only CPR, it's still advised to:
- Rotate with a second rescuer every two minutes to maintain effective compressions.
- Continue hands-only CPR until an AED or emergency medical services (EMS) arrive.
Hands-only CPR offers a simplified approach that empowers bystanders to save lives in emergency situations.
