Perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on the patient

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure attempting to restore spontaneous circulation and breathing by performing chest compressions with or without ventilation, in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures can be taken.

1. (If you have not done so already) Add a new incident, or open an existing incident, as described in Add or edit an incident.

   By default, the Response tab and Incident Information sub-tab are selected.

2. Click the Events tab, and then click the CPR sub-tab.

   Fields for gathering information related to the treatment appear on the left side of the interface.

   

   Note: Through the FH Medic administration site, the FH Medic application can be highly configured to display or hide individual fields, require or not-require fields, and even change field labels. As a result, different fields may appear for you than what is shown in the screen shot.

   Information on using the FH Medic administration site to control the fields in the FH Medic application is available in the FH Medic Administrator's Guide .

3. Enter data for each of the fields that apply to the incident, as described in Understand the interface and data entry in it.

   Tabs, sub-tabs, and fields with red labels indicate that information is required.
