Emergency Relief and CPR
Becoming an adult means taking responsibility for a variety of different aspects of your life. Your health is one of the most important of these responsibilities, especially your physical health!

While this unit covered several ways that you can take care of your personal health, we have not yet covered one very important skill for maintaining your personal health—CPR and emergency relief techniques.

While you may not need to perform CPR and emergency relief on a regular basis, if you ever find yourself in a situation that requires either of these skills, having some knowledge of them might just save a life!

In an effort to help you become more familiar with these life-saving skills, you will explore them in greater depth with this activity. And while completing this activity will certainly give you a deeper understanding of these two skills, it is highly suggested that you investigate and enroll in an actual CPR certification course to ensure that you can confidently perform these life-saving procedures if you ever need to.

You can visit this website to locate and enroll in a CPR certification course near you:

Activity Guidelines:
For this activity, you will create a slide show presentation that clearly explains the steps for performing CPR and the steps for performing emergency relief on someone with an obstructed airway.

Your presentation should include the following information:

A title slide
A descriptive title for your presentation and your name
A minimum of two slides about CPR
Slide 1: a brief overview of what CPR is and when it may be necessary to perform it
Slide 2: the specific steps for performing CPR, each with a brief explanation
Include at least one graphic on each slide that is pertinent to the information
A minimum of two slides about emergency relief on a person with an obstructed airway
Slide 1: a brief overview of obstructed airway relief and when it may be necessary to perform it
Slide 2: the specific steps for performing emergency relief on a person with an obstructed airway, each step with a brief explanation
Include at least one graphic on each slide that is pertinent to the information
A video demonstrating both emergency procedures
Use a doll to demonstrate how to perform CPR and how to perform emergency relief on a person with an obstructed airway. Introduce each demonstration before beginning and verbally explain anything that may help viewers understand what they are watching.
Insert your completed video into a slide in your presentation.
Your videos can be brief and should simply give viewers a general idea of what both of these procedures look like. It is understood that, depending on the size of the doll that you use, your demonstration may look slightly different than if you were performing these procedures on an adult in real life.
One slide listing any references or resources that you used to research your presentation.
The above requirements are the minimum that is required for your presentation. If you feel that you need more than two slides per emergency procedure to adequately cover the topic, you are welcome to create a longer presentation.

There is a lot of information and how-to videos available online regarding both of these life-saving procedures. If you need some help getting started, you can start by reviewing the following websites:

Mayoclinic - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Redcross - CPR Steps
hsi - CPR 101
Patient - Choking and Foreign Body Airway Obstruction
Emergencycareforyou - Choking (Heimlich Maneuver)
Your grade will be based on your ability to include all of the required information in an organized and well-thought out manner. For more details on how you will be graded, please refer to the rubric below.

Here's a suggested outline and content for your slideshow presentation on CPR and emergency relief for a person with an obstructed airway. Each section is tailored to a 9th-grade level and ensures clarity and engagement.

Slide 1: Title Slide

  • Title: Life-Saving Skills: CPR & Emergency Relief
  • Presented by: [Your Name]

Slide 2: What is CPR?

  • Content:
    • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used in emergencies when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
    • It is essential during situations like heart attacks, drowning, or severe injuries.
  • Graphic: An image of CPR being performed.

Slide 3: Steps for Performing CPR

  • Content:
    1. Check responsiveness: Tap the person and shout, "Are you okay?" to see if they respond.
    2. Call for help: If there’s no response, call 911 or ask someone else to call while you check the breathing.
    3. Check breathing: Look for normal breathing for no more than 10 seconds. If they aren't breathing normally, begin CPR.
    4. Chest compressions:
      • Place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest and the other hand on top.
      • Push down hard and fast (at least 2 inches deep and at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute).
    5. Rescue breaths: After 30 compressions, give 2 rescue breaths. Tilt the head back, pinch the nose, and give breaths into the mouth (watch for the chest to rise).
  • Graphic: An infographic detailing CPR steps.

Slide 4: What is Emergency Relief for an Obstructed Airway?

  • Content:
    • Obstructed airway relief is necessary when someone is choking and unable to breathe or speak.
    • It's crucial to act quickly, as the person can lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen in just a few minutes.
  • Graphic: An image illustrating a person choking.

Slide 5: Steps for Performing Emergency Relief (Heimlich Maneuver)

  • Content:
    1. Assess the situation: If the person can’t cough, speak, or breathe, it means their airway is obstructed.
    2. Ask if they’re okay: If they can’t respond and you see they’re in distress, it’s time to help.
    3. Stand behind the person: Wrap your arms around their waist.
    4. Make a fist: Place it just above their navel, thumb side in.
    5. Perform quick, upward thrusts: Using your arms, thrust inward and upward until the object is expelled or they begin to breathe.
  • Graphic: An illustration showing the Heimlich maneuver being performed.

Slide 6: Video Demonstration

  • Content:
    • In this video, I will demonstrate the steps for CPR and the Heimlich maneuver using a doll.
    • Pay attention to the positioning and techniques as I guide you through each step!
