Dr. med. Gunnar Kalund, senior physician at the Clinic for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, head of the Emergency Center at AGAPLESION BETHESDA HOSPITAL and chief emergency physician for the city of Wuppertal, and Matthias Althof, specialist nurse for anesthesiology and intensive care medicine at AGAPLESION BETHESDA HOSPITAL, show in this training film how to perform lay resuscitation in the event of cardiac arrest and thus save lives. To avoid a Covid-19 infection, please note the following adjustments during resuscitation: • If the infection situation is unclear, refrain from holding your own face close to the face of the unconscious person. • Instead, check breathing from a distance, e.g. whether the chest is rising and falling. • Before starting cardiac massage or performing defibrillation, consider placing a handkerchief or towel over the person's nose and mouth. • After resuscitation, wash and disinfect your hands as soon as possible.
