1-handed chest compressions - ANSChild one hand compression 6 critical concepts - ANSstart compressions within 10 sec, push hard and fast 100bpm 2 in. depth, allow chest recoil, less then 10 sec interuption, effective breaths for chest rise, avoid excessive ventilation a bag/mask device (BMV) is recommended for ventilations with either 1 OR 2 rescuers - ANSFalse (only for two) takes up too much time to switch for single abdominal thrusts with victim standing or sitting - ANS1. stand or kneel behind the victim and wrap your arounds the victims waist
Adult cpr: Ratio of compressions to breaths - ANS30 compression's to 2 breaths AED - ANSautomated external defibrillator
after AED device give shock what do you do - ANSresume CPR, chest compressions Age ranges adult / child / infant - ANSadult to adolescent (has underarm hair, developed breasts) child 1 yr to puberty infant less than 1 year (not neonates/newborns) agonal gasps - ANSAbnormal breathing. May happen in the first minutes after sudden cardiac arrest. AHA - ANSAmerican Heart Association an adult who was choking is now unconscious on the floor. what should I do now?
anteroposterior placement - ANSAED placement Bag Mask - ANSA hand-held device with a face mask BLS - ANSBasic Life Support C-A-B - ANScompression, airway, breathing C-A-B-D - ANScompression-airway-breathing-defibrillation carotid artery pulse - ANSpulse found in the neck, if you do not feel begin with CPR start with chest compressions chain of survival for an in hospital cardiac arrest - ANS1. surveillance prevention and treatment of pre arrest conditions
chain of survival for an out of hospital cardiac arrest - ANS1. immediate recognitions of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system
chest recoil - ANSallows blood to flow to the heart compression to ventilation ratio adults/infants (1 rescuer) - ANS30: compression to ventilation ratio adults/infants (2 rescuers) - ANS30:2 (5 cycles CPR) / 15:2 (10 cycles CPR) CPR - ANScardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR consist of these 3 - ANSchest compressions,airway,breathing defibrillator - ANSa machine that delivers an electroshock to stop the heart through electrodes placed on the chest wall ECC - ANSemergency cardiovascular care EMS - ANSemergency response system FBAO - ANSForeign Body Airway Obstruction
For what age victim is the 2 thumb encircling hands technique advised when 2 rescuers are present? - ANSInfant younger than 1 year gastric inflation - ANSwhen air enters the stomach instead of lungs if breaths are given to quickly. Good chest compressions and full chest recoil create blood flow during CPR - ANSTrue head position for infant CPR - ANSsniffing or neutral position heart attack occurs when - ANSblood flow to part of the heart muscle is blocked (clot problem) If a manual defibrillator is not available for an infant victim, which action should you take? - ANSuse an AED equipped with a pediatric dose attenuator If a victim of cardiac arrest has an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator, what special steps should be taken? - ANSAvoid placing the AED pads over the implanted device
if adult, child, or infant has a pulse but is not breathing effectively, rescuer should - ANSgive breaths w/o chest compressions. this is rescue breathing If you suspect that an unresponsive victim has head or neck trauma, what is the preferred method for opening the air way? - ANSJaw-Thrust in adults cardiac arrest is often sudden and results from_____ - ANScardiac cause in children cardiac arrest is often secondary to _______ - ANSrespiratory failure and shock In which locations do most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur? - ANSHomes infant 1 rescuer 2 finger technique - ANS1. place the infant on a firm flat surface
5.at the end of each compression make sure allow the chest to recoil to less than ten seconds
it may be necessary to perform 'both' breathing and chest compressions for an unresponsive infant with a low heart rate (pulse) below 60 bpm - ANSTrue jaw thrust - ANShead position if suspected neck injury, one hand each side of face and thrust jaw forward, if unable to chin lift, head tilt (standard) locating the femoral artery pulse in a child - ANS mouth to mask breathing - ANSa. chin lift, tilt head to open airway b. make seal over mouth and nose with mask hand in shape of C, finger under chin to hold head and mask in place C. give 2 breaths per 1 second D. watch for chest to rise mouth to mouth - ANShead tilt-chin lift to open airway, mouth to mouth (adult) mouth to nose (infant) breathing - ANSartificial respiration
mouth to mouth breathing for adults and children - ANS1. hold the victims airway open with a head tilt chin lift
ratio for adult CPR - ANS30: rescue breathing - ANSAdult / child 1 breath every 5-6 seconds Infant 1 breath every 3-5 seconds respiratory arrest - ANSbreathing stops but heart action continues for several minutes Same scenario with a 56 year old? No breathing, No pulse - ANSBegin cpr Several rescuers respond, you ask them to activate the emergency response system and retrieve the AED and emergency equipment. As you check for a pulse and breathing, you notice that the man is gasping for air and making snorting sounds. You do not feel a pulse, what is your next best action? - ANSStart cpr beginning with chest compressions steps for 1 rescuer CPR in order - ANSa. shake and shout you Ok? (infant flick foot) b. Call 911 c. check for pulse d. start chest compression lower 1/2 breast bone
e. open airway head tilt f. give 2 breaths g. resume compressions steps in using AED - ANSturn AED on attach pads (front/back on infant) (remove woman's bra or chest hair, piercings or jewelry) c. clear area d. follow direction to provide shock sudden cardiac arrest occurs when - ANSthe heart develops an abnormal rhythm and cant pump blood (rhythm problem) The man doesn't respond when you touch him and shout, "Are you okay?" what is your best next action? - ANSShout for nearby help.
