2010 Resuscitation guidelines

First Aid Training Associates Ltd is approved and monitored by the Health and Safety Executive to provide First Aid at Work training in England, Scotland and Wales under
the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations, 1981.

HSE Certificate of Approval
number 861/89.

In October 2010, the Uk Resuscitation Council published new guidelines and we have produced the chart below to illustrate the procedures.

Resuscitation Chart
Danger Check for danger. Make safe – if necessary.
Response Speak to the casualty. If no reply – gently shake and shout “Are you alright?”  If no response – shout for help.
Airway Open the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the chin.
Breathing Look, listen and feel for normal breathing (for up to 10 seconds). If the casualty is not breathing normally, dial 999 and ask for an automated external defibrillator (AED), if one is available – then start CPR.
Give 30 chest compressions at a rate of 100 - 120/minute, compressing the chest by 5 - 6 cm. Follow this with 2 rescue breaths. Each breath to last about 1 sec. Continue alternating 30 compressions and 2 breaths until help arrives with a defibrillator. Stop and recheck casualty only if they start to show signs of regaining consciousness, such as coughing, opening eyes, speaking or moving purposefully and start breathing normally. If there is more than one rescuer, change over every 1 - 2 minutes to reduce tiredness
