Face Arms Speech Time

Stroke

Clap and speak loudly can you hear me Squeeze shoulders and talk to casualty- what’s your name No response

4. Send for help Ask bystander to call for help come back and tell e when it’s done and find a defibrillator
5. Check airway Opens mouth (no head tilt)

Something in airway Rolls casualty onto side, uses two finger scoop to remove object

6. Check for casualty breathing Checks for breathing while casualty on side- look, listen and feel for normal breathing for 10 seconds Casualty not breathing
7. Commence CPR Two hands-using heel of hand on the centre of the chest or lower half of the sternum. Straight arms, locking the elbows so the learner positions their shoulders directly over their hands. Keeping both of their knees on the ground so as to push straight down. Delivering 30 compressions at a rate of 100-120 bpm. 1/3 or 5cm in depth and completely releases compression. Tilts head and provides 2 breaths approx 1 second per breath allowing 1st^ breath time to exit body. Completes approximately 5 cycles of 30:2 in
