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.

Slide 2: Overview of CPR

What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving technique used in emergencies when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. CPR can preserve brain function and maintain blood flow to vital organs until professional medical help arrives or until an automated external defibrillator (AED) is ready to be used. It is crucial to perform CPR if you witness someone collapse or if they aren't responding and are not breathing or only gasping.

Graphic Suggestion: Image of a person performing CPR or an AED.

Slide 3: Steps for Performing CPR

CPR Steps:

Check responsiveness: Tap the person and shout loudly, "Are you OK?" If unresponsive, call emergency services.
Position hands: Place the heel of one hand in the center of the chest, then place the other hand on top, interlocking fingers.
Chest compressions: Push down hard and fast, at least 2 inches deep, at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
Open airway: Tilt the head back slightly and lift the chin to open the airway.
Rescue breaths: If trained, give 2 breaths (1 second each), ensuring the chest rises. Continue with compressions and breaths in cycles until help arrives.

Graphic Suggestion: Infographic showing CPR hand placement and compression rhythm.

Slide 4: Overview of Obstructed Airway Relief

What is Obstructed Airway Relief?
Obstructed airway relief techniques are crucial for helping someone who is choking or unable to breathe due to a foreign object lodged in their airway. Recognizing when to perform these techniques, such as the Heimlich maneuver, can prevent severe injury or death due to asphyxiation. This life-saving skill is necessary when a person cannot cough, speak, or breathe.

Graphic Suggestion: Illustration of a person grasping their throat, indicating distress.

Slide 5: Steps for Emergency Relief (Heimlich Maneuver)

Heimlich Maneuver Steps:

Assess the situation: If the person cannot cough, speak, or breathe, stand behind them and place your arms around their waist.
Make a fist: Place the thumb side of your fist just above the person’s navel (belly button).
Perform thrusts: Grasp your fist with your other hand and give quick, upward thrusts. Repeat until the object is dislodged or the person becomes unconscious.
If unconscious: Gently lower them to the ground and start CPR if qualified, ensuring an ambulance has been called.

Graphic Suggestion: Diagram illustrating the Heimlich maneuver technique.
