CPR: For Adults

CABD (Circulation, Airway, Breathing, Defibrillate)

There is a common acronym in BLS used to guide providers in the appropriate steps to assess and treat patients in respiratory and cardiac distress. This is CAB-D (Circulation, Airway, Breathing, Defibrillate).

1.       Circulation:

Check the patient for a carotid pulse for 5-10 seconds. (Do not check for more than 10 seconds.)

If the patient doesn’t have a pulse:

Begin 5 cycles of CPR (lasts approximately 2 minutes).

1 cycle of adult CPR is 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths.

2.       Airway

Provide 10 rescue breaths per minute (1 breath every 6 seconds). Recheck pulse every 2 minutes.

3.       Breathing:

Each rescue breath should last approximately 1 second.

During normal CPR without an advanced airway:

Provide approximately 6-8 rescue breaths per minute

During normal CPR with an advanced airway:

Provide 10 rescue breaths per minute (don’t pause chest compressions for breaths).

4.       Defibrillate:

Arrival of the AED (Automated External Defibrillator)

Normally Biphasic Shock Defibrillator is used at 150 J.
