Question

Which of the following describes the correct hand position during hands-only CPR?
A)Place one hand to the right of the sternum and the other to the left
B)Place both hands side by side in the center of the chest
C)Place both hands interwoven to the left of the sternum, directly over the heart
D)Place both hands interwoven in the center of the cheast

Answer 1

The right answer is D) Place both hands interwoven in the center of the cheast.

The method of thoracic compression is as follows:

Place the victim on a hard plane, most often on the ground.

Kneel next to the victim.

Place the heel of one of your hands in the middle of his bare chest.

Place the heel of the other hand on your first hand.

Solidarize your two hands. Do not press on the ribs or on the underside of the sternum.

Position yourself so that your shoulders are in line with the victim's chest. Arms stretched, compress the sternum vertically by pressing it down 5 to 6 cm.

After each pressure, let the victim's chest return to its original position to allow the blood to return to the heart. Hold your hands in position on the sternum.

The duration of the compression must be equal to that of the release of the pressure of the chest.

Perform 30 chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, or about 2 compressions per second.

Then practice 2 breaths by the mouth-to-mouth technique.
