where should you place your hands when giving chest compressions?

Sagot :

To carry out a chest compression:

  • Place the heel of your hand on the breastbone at the center of the person's chest. Place your other hand on top of your first hand and interlock your fingers.
  • Position yourself with your shoulders above your hands.
  • Using your body weight (not just your arms), press straight down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) on their chest.
  • Keeping your hands on their chest, release the compression and allow the chest to return to its original position.
  • Repeat these compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 times a minute until an ambulance arrives or you become exhausted.
