The activity is worth 15 points.

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.

Certainly! Below is a structured outline for your presentation on CPR and emergency relief techniques, including the content you can include on each slide.

Title Slide

Title: Life-Saving Skills: CPR and Emergency Relief Techniques
Name: [Your Name]

Slide 1: Overview of CPR

Content:
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving technique used during medical emergencies when someone's heart stops beating or when they aren't breathing. CPR can help restore blood circulation and oxygen flow to vital organs until professional help arrives. It is necessary in cases of cardiac arrest, drowning, or any situation where breathing or heartbeat is absent.
Graphic: Insert an image of a person performing CPR.

Slide 2: Steps for Performing CPR

Content:
1. Check for responsiveness: Tap the person and shout to see if they respond. If unresponsive, proceed to the next step.
2. Call for help: Dial emergency services or ask a bystander to call for assistance.
3. Open the airway: Tilt the head back slightly and lift the chin to open the airway.
4. Check for breathing: Look, listen, and feel for breathing for no more than 10 seconds.
5. Start chest compressions: Place hands on the center of the chest and push hard and fast (about 2 inches deep at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute).
6. Provide rescue breaths: After 30 compressions, give 2 rescue breaths if trained to do so.
Graphic: Insert an image showing chest compression technique.

Slide 3: Overview of Obstructed Airway Relief

Content:
- Obstructed airway relief is a crucial intervention used when a person is choking and unable to breathe due to an object blocking their airway. The Heimlich maneuver is the most common technique employed to dislodge the obstruction. It’s vital in situations where the person cannot cough, speak, or breathe effectively.
Graphic: Insert an image illustrating signs of choking.

Slide 4: Steps for Emergency Relief (Heimlich Maneuver)

Content:
1. Assess the situation: Determine if the person is truly choking and unable to breathe.
2. Call for help: Alert someone to call emergency services or assist you.
3. Stand behind the person: Wrap your arms around their waist and lean them slightly forward.
4. Perform abdominal thrusts: Make a fist with one hand, place it above the person’s navel, grasp it with your other hand, and thrust inward and upward until the object is expelled.
5. Repeat as necessary: Continue until the object is dislodged or the person becomes unresponsive.
Graphic: Insert an image showing the Heimlich maneuver being performed.

Slide 5: Video Demonstration

Content: Introduction to the video demonstrating both CPR and the Heimlich maneuver using a doll. Explain that visual representation will provide clarity on the techniques discussed.
