CPR= Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation

Reasons to learn CPR: +After someone stops breathing, or the heart stops beating, he or she can survive for only 4 to 6 minutes before lack of oxygen results in brain damage or death. +Over 70% of all cardiac and breathing emergencies occur in the home when a family member is present and available to help a victim. +Over 1.5 million heart attacks occur each year and approximately 350,000 of these victims die before ever reaching a hospital. +Statistics show that the earlier CPR is initiated, the greater the chance of survival.

When citizens respond to an emergency, and act as a reasonable and prudent person would under the same conditions, The Good Samaritan immunity generally prevails. This legal immunity protects you, from being sued successfully !

Fewer than 50% of persons in cardiac arrest receive bystander CPR. There are probably many reasons for this, but by Starting with chest compressions this might ensure that more victims receive CPR and that rescuers who are unable or unwilling to provide ventilations will at least perform chest compressions.

1 Make sure the scene is safe. 2. Check for response (Shake/shout) 3 Tell someone to phone emergency response number (or 911) and get an AED.

4 Check for breathing or abnormal breathing (i.e., gasps) for 5-10 seconds 5 Locate the correct hand position: On the breastbone between the nipples. Middle finger should line up with nipple, and start compressions. Acceptable 30 compressions 18 seconds or less

6 Open the airway and give 2 breaths (1 second each) using the head tilt- chin lift If chest does not rise then re-open the airway Start compressions within 10 seconds

Correct rate is at least 100 per minute Correct depth is at least 2 inches Allow chest to return to normal between compressions

Continue with more cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breathes If you are alone call 911 and get an AED

Is the scene safe? Shake and Shout Call 911, get AED Check for breathing Start 30 compressions Open Airway 2 breaths REPEAT FOUR MORE TIMES pr.html pr.html

Victim recovers Help comes You’re too tired to continue Valid DNR card

The same as an adult except use only One (1) hand Ratio 30:2 pushing down about 1 ½ inches Allow chest to return to normal between compressions

Definition AHA Adult 8 years old or older Child 1-8 years old (puberty) Infant 0-1 years old Compressions Adult at least 2 inches (2 hands) Child 1 ½ inches (1 hand) Infant 1 ½ (2 fingers)

1-Check to see if the scene is safe 2-Arouse the Baby (Feet) 3-Call for help (911 and AED) If you are alone perform CPR for 1 minute then call Check for breathing 5-10 seconds

5- Start 30 chest compressions using 2 fingers in 18 sec. 2 fingers Pointer finger across the nipple line Middle finger right below it Depth should be 1½ inches Allow chest to return to normal between compressions 6- give 2 puffs around the nose and mouth Repeat five times

Is the scene safe? Arouse feet Call 911, get AED Check for breathing Start 30 compressions with 2 fingers Open Airway 2 puffs of air REPEAT FOUR MORE TIMES

Automated External Defibrillator You go call 911 You go get the AED (“where is it”)

Ask if they are choking Explain you can help Abdominal thrusts until: Object is out They can cough, breath, or speak They stop responding Call for help Start CPR

(1) 5 Back blows (2) 5 chest thrust (3) check breathing (4) not breathing continue back blows with chest thrust (5) If you see the object pinky sweep (6) if infant goes unconscious start CPR

Call 911 Perform CPR If you see an object…. Bottom lip over the teeth If you see the object do a finger sweep Turn the head toward you Sweep from top to bottom

infants and children: a depth of least one third the anterior-posterior (AP) diameter of the chest or about 1 inches (4 cm) in infants and about 2 inches (5 cm) in children

Opening the airway (with a head tilt–chin lift or jaw thrust) followed by rescue breaths can improve oxygenation and ventilation. However, these maneuvers can be technically challenging and require interruptions of chest compressions, particularly for a lone rescuer who has not been trained. Thus, the untrained rescuer will provide Hands-Only (compression-only) CPR (ie, compressions without ventilations), and the lone rescuer who is able should open the airway and give rescue breaths with chest compressions. Ventilations should be provided if the victim has a high likelihood of an asphyxial cause of the arrest (eg, infant, child, or drowning victim).

One of the determinants of successful defibrillation is the effectiveness of chest compressions. Defibrillation outcome is improved if interruptions (for rhythm assessment, defibrillation, or advanced care) in chest compressions are kept to a minimum

Liability Most health professionals [who?] agree that automated external defibrillators are so easy to use that most states in the United States now include the "good faith" use of an AED by any person under the Good Samaritan laws. [11] "Good faith" protection under a Good Samaritan law means that a volunteer responder (not acting as a part of one's occupation) cannot be held civilly liable for the harm or death of a victim by providing improper or inadequate care, given that the harm or death was not intentional and the responder was acting within the limits of their training and in good faith.
