5) Put one palm on top of the other, keeping your fingers curled up without touching the
thorax. In small children, however, use only your fingers. Apply force according to the
victim’s size.
6) Keep your arms stretched. Put pressure on the victim’s thorax, compressing the
chest and then releasing it. Follow the BEEPS emitted by the DualMax, which mark
the rhythm of the compressions. Every 30 compressions, apply 2 mouth-to-mouth
ventilations.
7) Performing mouth-to-mouth breathing:
• Place one hand on the back of the victim’s neck and lift it; place your other
hand on the victim’s forehead and force the head back, in order to let the air
through.
• Close the victim’s nostrils with the fingers which are on the forehead.
• Take a deep breath, and place your open mouth on the victim’s mouth (if it is
a child, also cover the nose with your mouth).
• Force air inside the victim’s lungs, until the thorax inflates, as in normal
breathing.
• Allow the person to release the air by removing your mouth.
8) At every interval to perform mouth-to-mouth breathing, check if the patient’s pulse is
back.
The massage and ventilation cycle must be done for two minutes. If the patient’s
pulse does not return, restart shock procedure with the DualMax.
After the third complete CPR and shock cycle, chances of the patient’s resuscitation
are very slim.
The DualMax also has the CPR Maestro accessory, to help in the efficient
application of CPR. For more information, see the chapter "CPR Maestro".
