"Hi, my name is Alv Rios and I'm a Paramedic with Lansing Mercy Ambulance on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to review the steps and techniques that we have already gone over. It is important that when you first come up to your patient you check for responsiveness. First by verbal stimuli, then painful. Once you determine that your patient is unresponsive, you have an adult go ahead and call 911 immediately. If you have a child or infant you want to complete one cycle of CPR before you call 911. After that you want to open up the patient's airway using either the head tilt chin lift or the modify jaw thrust using the thumbs and pinching motion if you suspect any cervical spine injury. You then want to look listen and feel for five to ten seconds, once you determine that there is no breathing, you want to go ahead and give two ventilations. Make sure you have two adequate ventilations before you go on to checking for a carotid pulse. Once you check for a carotid pulse, you want to do that for five to ten seconds. If you have determined that there is no pulse, you want to move the patient to a hard surface and begin CPR, find the lower third of the sternum pushing in one third of the patient's chest and you want to go at the rate of about hundred times a minute. Doing that for thirty compressions for every two ventilations that you give. You want to do that for approximately two minutes, after then you can go ahead and reassess your airway breathing and circulation before EMS arrives. By watching Expert Village you are learning the techniques to give adequate CPR but you are not a licensed professional, so if at any time you are able to ask if there is someone that is licensed to give CPR, make sure that they go ahead and give the CPR that way they are up to the newest standards possible."
