The new guidelines also recommend more strongly that dispatchers instruct untrained lay rescuers to provide Hands-Only CPR (chest compression only) for adults who are unresponsive‚ with no breathing or no normal breathing.

----------------------- The Atrioventricular Node (AVN) • This is the node that involves both the atria and ventricles. • The AVN is deep in the centre of the heart muscle. • It picks up the wave sent by the SAN and delays it by about 0.1s to let the atria finish contracting before the AVN sends the second wave. • The AVN uses the Purkyne tissue (a conducting tissue) to the apex. • The wave is sent up through the ventricles making them contract‚ pushing the blood through the semilunar valves

demonstrating how to perform CPR. CPR is a combination of chest compressions and ventilations. You only perform CPR on a patient that is unconscious‚ not breathing‚ and has no pulse. These are signs of cardiac arrest. The first step is to size-up the scene‚ making sure it is safe for you‚ the patient‚ and any bystanders. The second step is to perform an initial assessment of the situation. To check if the patient is breathing tilt their chin up to open the airway and then put your
