Understanding CPR in general is very serious when saving lives.
If there are any signs of a concussion, broken bones at the neck, head or back, deformed joints, no pulse, heavy bleeding, any abnormalities of the broken bone such as: a piercing of the skin or if the bone is irregularly fixed, call 911 immediately and perform CPR, if needed.
Treatment: Make sure to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the Fracture and wrapping it if necessary. It's important to place your hands correctly upon the patient’s chest when performing compressions. It’s important to understand Fractures and understand what to do according to the severity of the injury. If needed, apply a cold cloth or ice to the fracture.
The leading cause of death in the US according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC.gov) is cardiovascular disease. However, CPR should still be performed. If the patient isn't moving do not try and move the patient yourself.
A Fracture can be very serious. Apply a splint to the Fractured area. Death is most likely to occur after 10 minutes of a loss of oxygen to the brain. From 4 to 6 minutes brain damage is very possible and from 0 to 4 minutes brain damage is virtually non-existent. C is for Circulation – Compressions
Chest Compressions Circulate the blood within the patient. Factors which are unavoidable are: age, sex, hereditary and diabetes. From 6 to 10 minutes brain damage is expected. You administer CPR the same with Children as you would with Adults besides the circumference - accept when calling the EMS before with Adults and after 5 cycles for Children and Infants. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are: smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lack of exercise, stress and obesity.
