When performing CPR, what do procedures A, B, and C stand for?
Ans- In CPR, A stands for airway, B for breathing and C for compression.
CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a lifesaving action used in case of emergencies when someone is not breathing or their heart is not beating.
C stands for chest compressions. Chest compressions can help flow of blood to the heart, brain and other organs. CPR begins with 30 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths.
A is for airway. After 30 chest compressions, check the person's airway if it is open for breathing.
B is for breathing. Rescue breathing starts after 30 chest compressions when airway is open. Someone doing rescue breathing breathes for the victim by forcing air into lungs. This includes breathing into victim's mouth at right time and checking for signs of life.
