Cardiac Arrest & CPR

Cardiac arrest is a very serious condition where a patient does not have any pulse. When you discover someone to be in cardiac arrest, it is crucial that you do the following:

1. Apply tourniquets on any injured limbs.

2. Bandage there head and torso.

3. Perform CPR until the patient regains a pulse or a medic relieves you.

It is recommended to control the patient's pulse after every 2 rounds of CPR to make sure you aren't performing CPR on a patient that already has a pulse.

Checking a patient's pulse when someone is performing CPR will produce a false positive.
