Life is like a dream, fleeting. In the long river of time, life is so fragile that a sudden cardiac arrest may cause the flower of life to wither in an instant. However, in an emergency, mastering the correct first aid method can often fight for a glimmer of life in the long river of time. So, how to provide accurate first aid in the event of cardiac arrest?
First of all, let's make it clear that cardiac arrest is not a terminal illness, and most patients have a chance to get back on their heads as long as effective first aid measures are taken in a timely manner. And what we need to do at this critical time is to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the patient as soon as possible and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) to defibrillate.
心肺复苏（CPR）是最基本的心脏骤停急救方法，包括人工呼吸和胸外按压两个步骤。 人工呼吸是为了让患者的肺部充满空气，维持呼吸功能；胸外按压则是为了 manually compress the chest to help circulate blood throughout the body.
When performing CPR, we need to pay attention to the following:
1. Ensure the safety of the site and avoid the danger of electric shock, fire and so on.
2. Quickly assess patient awareness, call out loudly and tap the patient on the shoulder.
3. Check the patient's breathing, see, hear and feel whether there is a breathing sound in the patient's mouth and nose.
4. If the patient is not breathing, immediately start artificial respiration, 10-12 times per minute.
5. Perform chest compressions at the same time, with a frequency of 100-120 compressions per minute and a depth of 5-6 cm.
In addition to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) is also a critical step in cardiac arrest first aid. An AED is a device that automatically detects and defibrillates arrhythmias and is easy to use for the general public, even without professional training.
When using AEDs, we need to pay attention to the following:
1. Turn on the AED and follow the device prompts.
2. Attach electrodes, one on the right upper chest and one on the left lower abdomen.
3. Connect the electrodes to ensure good contact.
4. Start defibrillation, following the AED prompts.
In the long river of time, every moment of life is worth cherishing. Mastering cardiac arrest first aid methods can not only save the lives of others at a critical time, but also bring peace of mind to yourself and your family. Let us work together to make life shine more brightly in the long river of time! #头条创作挑战赛#
