Recently, a young reporter in the sudden death, death of first aid attention again. The young reporter suddenly fell down, after someone come to rescue them, but from the video display, heart massage do enough, artificial respiration instead of for a long time, thus affecting the effects of rescue.

In people's general understanding, artificial respiration is the key to the first aid, in fact, this kind of suddenly fell fainting or sudden death, generally no respiratory congestion, so the key is to the rescue of the heart, because the heart is the body's engine, the engine does not turn, even if the oil flow, the car still won't go away. So, just let the patient lie flat, respiratory tract is unobstructed can open, then massage is the key to the heart.

After the incident, said a lot of friends outside the heart massage, massage not working don't think his arm strength? This leads to the outside of the heart massage pose problems, heart massage actually relied on the outside is not the power of the arm, because outside the heart massage sometimes takes a long time, it is not only stimulate the heart again, at the same time or in cardiac arrest or irregular beats, help the heart as much as possible to the whole body blood flow, especially the brain blood supply. So, the heart outside massage to insist to the emergency doctor arrived, specifically speaking, heart massage outside frequency to be fast enough, not less than 100 beats per minute, and enough strength to press the sternum, and depth of the sternum to 4 to 6 cm.

Therefore, massage to my arm straight, not bending, such as using pressed the weight of the body, rather than merely with the arm strength, the latter power small and difficult to stick to enough time, at the same time, don't delay your time for artificial respiration, popular point, the respiratory tract without blocking of sudden death, the role of artificial respiration outside without heart massage.

Both in artificial respiration and heart massage, need professional knowledge, also simply introduced here, so, if possible, citizens can take part in the first aid training, spend a day or two time can preliminary master, no matter which is good in people.
