Hey guys! Today it's the Manny and me show :)
Say hello Manny. Hello! We are so excited to have you with us today because
we are going to teach you how to do one person adult
CPR. We are? We sure are Manny. Oh yay it's my favorite thing to do.
That's awesome because you are in fact the star of the show!
Manny loves to be the star of the show don't you? And so
we're going to talk about what to do when you are doing CPR by yourself as a
one-person rescuer. Should we get started? Yeah let's do it
See you soon. Welcome back my name is Tammy and this
is NurseMinder and on this channel we do everything nursing so if you're new here
consider subscribing below so that you get the next video when it's released.
So Manny's gone to get into character but I want to talk to you about
a few things you need to know before we get into it. The first thing is is
scene safety. We always want to make sure it's
safe for us to enter in to save another person because our safety is always the
priority in all situations so if there's something that makes you feel
uncomfortable just call your local emergency response
team to take care of that. Once the scene is safe and we will
assume that scene is safe in this video, the second thing we need to do is yell
for help to make sure we can get people on
scene. Help I need some help over here. What you're going to see in this video
is what happens after we've already checked scene safety
and we've called for some assistance. Buddy buddy, are you okay? Are you okay? can you hear me
Can you hear me?
You go call 9-1-1 get an AED and come back to me.
I'll do a carotid pulse watch for breathing feel for breathing for five to
ten seconds for one two three four
five six seven eight nine ten
one two three four five six 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

7 8 9 30. (two breaths)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20 1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 30. (two breaths)
Now in terms of positioning your body to do CPR you want to put your palm on the
middle part of the chest which is essentially the lower half of the
sternum. So on this mannequin here, this is the
sternum this middle piece it's a long flat hard bone
so we're actually going to come down to the middle half because my heart is
sitting here at ribs three four and five so we want to make sure that when we're
compressing we're over the heart.
You want your palm on the center of the chest and your shoulder should be
directly above it, okay. You can take your free wrist and
wrap it around your other one or you can just layer the hands on top each other.
Now you'll notice that my hips, my hips and knees are at a 90 degree angle and
that's because my hip is going to be the lever for all of
the action so what I don't like to see is when people
are breaking their arms out like this and they're trying to compress
like this or when the knees are so close that they're going like this and they're
using all their upper body, instead we want to use those large
muscle groups to get a really solid push down
and you'll notice that my entire upper body is moving as one unit.
Notice the depth of the compression we need to go one third of that patient's
anterior posterior depth down but also the recoil in that
the mannequin is coming back to a resting state. So if i were to take my
hand off at any stage it's not bouncing. You want to make sure
each compression has good chest good depth and good recoil.
You'll notice that I'm just taking a knee out to come and give the air
so I can get down nice and low and then i'm coming back up.
When it comes to doing your airway take your forehead hand and come straight up
on the mask, I'll turn the mannequin so you can see, I've got the entire mask in
my hand, again downward pressure, take the thumb
of your free hand, seal off the base, your other fingers go
under the chin and lift it to the sky while holding
that downward pressure at the same time.
Or you can take from an index finger of both hands press
downward to get a nice seal, you can see how this flattens all the way around,
rest those fingers on the forehead, fingers under the chin, lift it up.
All right so that is our CPR class and that was fantastic. Hey Manny how did
they do? They did great! Yeah and so let's just
recap some of those things. The first thing we need to do
is .. scene safety! And then once we know the scene is safe
then we have to make sure our patient is in fact unresponsive so we're going to
do the tap and talk and what is the thing what what
do we normally say? Are you okay? Are you okay? Can you hear
me? Yes good. When they don't respond who do
we want to call? 911! That's right. Here where I live it is
9-1-1. You want to make sure you're telling people
the number to call for where you live because that's super important
to help clear up any miscommunication. So now that we've sent someone to call
9-1-1 we're going to then check pulse and
breathing. Yes! We want to do that for how long? Five
to ten seconds. Perfect and then if there's no pulse
we're going to go straight into
CPR. Thanks for watching guys. Manny and I both appreciate you taking
the time to learn this life-saving skill and we wish that you never have to do it
but should you do that you are prepared and ready to go.
Bye. Bye. Hey I know you're probably not ready to get off your phone or go back
to work just yet or maybe even turn the lights off to go to sleep so
why don't you spend a little bit more time here watching another video
