13. Professional Rescuer CPR To maintain breathing and heartbeat, perform rescue breathing and chest compressions together. 70% of cardiac arrest patients are in V-fib. –Heart muscle is quivering. –Not effectively pumping blood –AEDs can help these patients.

14. Circulatory System Consists of heart, blood vessels, blood Heart pumps blood to lungs and rest of body. Pulse is generated when heart contracts.

15. Major Arteries Neck or carotid pulseWrist or radial pulse (1 of 2)

16. Major Arteries Arm or brachial pulseGroin or femoral pulse (2 of 2)

17. Cardiac Arrest Occurs when the heart stops contracting No blood is pumped through the blood vessels. Brain damage begins within 4 to 6 minutes after cardiac arrest. (1 of 2)

18. Cardiac Arrest May be caused by: –Heart attack or stroke –Untreated respiratory arrest –Medical emergencies (eg, electrical shock, epilepsy, poisoning) –Drowning –Suffocation –Trauma or shock from massive blood loss (2 of 2)

19. Components of CPR Requires three types of skills: –Airway –Breathing –Circulation CPR can keep patients alive until more advanced care is administered.

20. Cardiac Chain of Survival Early recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of 9-1-1 system Early bystander CPR Early defibrillation Early advanced care

21. When to Start CPR CPR should be started on all nonbreathing, pulseless patients, except when reliable signs of death exist: –Decapitation –Rigor mortis –Tissue decomposition –Dependent lividity

22. When to Stop CPR Effective spontaneous circulation and ventilation are restored. Care is transferred to another trained person. Physician assumes responsibility. Transfer to EMS personnel occurs. Obvious death is recognized. You are too exhausted to continue or continuing would place you or others in danger.

23. External Cardiac Compressions Manual chest-pressing method Mimics the squeezing and relaxation cycles of a normal heartbeat Place patient on a firm, flat surface. (1 of 2)

24. External Cardiac Compressions Technique –Place heel of one hand in between nipples. –Place heel of other hand on top and interlock fingers. (2 of 2)

25. One-Rescuer Adult CPR Establish patient’s level of consciousness. Place patient on back. Open the airway. Check for breathing. (1 of 2)

26. One-Rescuer Adult CPR Check for signs of circulation. Deliver chest compressions and rescue breathing at a ratio of 30 compressions to two breaths. Use a rate of 100 compressions per minute. (2 of 2)

27. Two-Rescuer CPR More effective than one-rescuer CPR. One rescuer delivers ventilations. The other rescuer gives chest compressions. Compressions and ventilations should remain rhythmic and uninterrupted.

28. Switching CPR Positions The rescuer giving chest compressions will get tired if performing CPR for an extended time. Switching positions after every five cycles improves quality of compressions. Should be accomplished smoothly and quickly

29. Infant CPR Principles are the same, but techniques are modified: –Give small puffs of air. –Use brachial pulse. –Press on middle of sternum with two fingers. –Compress sternum 1/2 to 1 inch. (1 of 2)

30. Infant CPR (2 of 2)

31. Two-Rescuer Infant CPR Use the two-thumb/encircling hands technique. Compress the sternum at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. Perform compressions and ventilations at a ratio of 15 to 2.

32. Child CPR Child is defined as a person between 1 year of age and the onset of puberty (12 to 14 years). Use less force to ventilate. In small children, use only one hand. Use less force to compress the chest. (1 of 2)

33. Child CPR (2 of 2) Locate top and bottom of sternum. Place the heel of your hand in the center of the chest, in between the nipples.

34. Signs of Effective CPR Pulse is felt during chest compressions. Patient’s skin color improves. Chest visibly rises during ventilations. Compressions and ventilations are delivered at the appropriate rate and depth.

35. Complications of CPR Broken ribs –Check and correct your hand position. Gastric distention –Caused by too much air blown too fast and too forcefully into stomach Regurgitation –Be prepared to deal with it!

36. Creating Sufficient Space Create or find a space where you can perform CPR. Have 3 to 4 feet on all sides of patient. Two options –Quickly rearrange furniture. –Quickly drag patient into open area. (1 of 2)

37. Creating Sufficient Space (2 of 2)

38. Defibrillation Roughly 250,000 people die each year in the U.S. of coronary heart disease in out-of-hospital setting. More than 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients have V-fib. –Rapid, disorganized, and ineffective vibration of the heart –Electric shock can defibrillate. (1 of 3)

39. Defibrillation An automated external defibrillator. (2 of 3)

40. Defibrillation Patients in cardiac arrest have greatest chance for survival when early defibrillation is available. AEDs identify V-fib and advise rescuers to deliver shock if needed. Learn how to use your specific AED. Get required training and practice! (3 of 3)

41. CPR Training First responders should complete CPR course through recognized agency. Update your skills through recertification courses. Schedule periodic reviews of CPR theory and practice for all first responders.

42. Legal Implications of CPR Start CPR on all patients unless obviously dead. Physician at the hospital will determine whether you should stop. Check your department’s protocols and state regulations.
