CPR Course Emergency medicine department

OBJECTIVES At the end of this course participants should be able to demonstrate: –How to assess the collapsed victim –How to perform chest compression and use AED

BACKGROUND Approximately 700,000 cardiac arrests per year in Europe Survival to hospital discharge presently approximately 5-10% Bystander CPR vital intervention before arrival of emergency services Early resuscitation and prompt defibrillation (within 1-2 minutes) can result in >60% survival
5
Sudden Cardiac arrest The most common cause of pulseless arrest in adults outside hospital Ventricular fibrillation is the first suspect Strongly suggested by sudden collapse Chest compression should be the highest priority Defibrillation may be a definite management
6
CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
7
Approach safely Check pulse Open airway 2 rescue breaths Check response Call 115 - AED 30 chest compressions Approach safely AED Check pulse 30 chest compressions Open airway 2 rescue breaths Check response Call 115
8
APPROACH SAFELY! Scene Rescuer Victim Bystanders Approach safely Call 115 AED Check pulse 30 chest compressions Open airway Check response 2 rescue breaths
9
CHECK RESPONSE Approach safely AED Check pulse 30 chest compressions Open airway Check response Call 115 2 rescue breaths
10
Shake shoulders gently Ask “Are you all right?” If he responds: Leave as you find him Find out what is wrong Reassess regularly CHECK RESPONSE
11
If he dose not respond: Check breathing quickly. No or agonal breathing means cardiac arrest. CHECK RESPONSE
12
AGONAL BREATHING Occurs shortly after the heart stops in up to 40% of cardiac arrests Described as barely, heavy, noisy or gasping breathing Recognise as a sign of cardiac arrest
13
SHOUT FOR HELP – CALL 115 Approach safely AED 30 chest compressions Check response Call 115 Check pulse Open airway 2 rescue breaths
14
AED Approach safely AED 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breath Check response Call 115 Check pulse Open airway
15
15 Probability of Survival Is Related to 2 Intervals: (1) Collapse to Defibrillation and (2) Collapse to CPR Collapse to start of CPR: 1, 5, 10, 15 (min) Collapse to defibrillation interval (min) Probability of survival to hospital discharge
16
CHECK PULSE Approach safely AED 30 chest compressions Open airway 2 rescue breath Check response Call 115 Check pulse 10 seconds
17
The lay rescuer should not check for a pulse and should assume that cardiac arrest is present if an adult suddenly collapses or an unresponsive victim is not breathing normally. CHECK PULSE
18
Approach safely AED Check pulse 30 chest compressions Open airway Check response Call 115 2 rescue breaths CHEST COMPRESSIONS
19
Common problems with chest compression Too few chest compressions Chest compressions are too weak Too many ventilations Too many interruptions
20
Place the heel of one hand in the centre of the chest Place other hand on top Interlock fingers Compress the chest –Rate ≥ 100 per min –Depth 5 cm –Equal compression : relaxation When possible change CPR operator every 2 min High Quality CHEST COMPRESSIONS
21
OPEN AIRWAY Approach safely AED 30 chest compressions Open airway 2 rescue breaths Check response Call 115 Check pulse
22
22 Assess Breathing (not further recommended)
23
23 Airway Obstruction Most common cause: tongue and/or epiglottis
24
24 Opening the Airway Jaw thrust Head tilt–chin lift
25
RESCUE BREATHS Approach safely AED Check pulse 30 chest compressions Open airway 2 rescue breaths Check response Call 115
26
RESCUE BREATHS Pinch the nose Take a normal breath Place lips over mouth Blow until the chest rises Avoid excessive ventilation Take about 1 second Allow chest to fall Repeat
27
JAW THRUST (IN TRAUMATIC PATIENT)
28
CONTINUE CPR 302
29
IF YOU HAVE NOT TENDENCY TO BREATHE Chest compression only
30
Hands Only CPR Needs less training Maximize cardiac output Encourage bystander CPR Not recommended for HCP in case of asphyxic arrest (children, drowning, toxicity)
31
Standard CPR (CC+RB) Berg et al, 2001 Ao pressure Time = chest compression
32
Chest Compression alone Berg et al, 2001 Blood pressure Time = chest compression
33
Simplified Adult BLS
34
KEY CHANGES Recognition of cardiac arrest based on assessing unresponsiveness and absence of normal breathing.

KEY CHANGES Recognition of cardiac arrest based on assessing unresponsiveness and absence of normal breathing. Look, listen and feel removed from the algorithm. Sequences change to CAB rather than ABC. High quality CPR.

ANY QUESTIONS?

DEFIBRILLATION
41
AED Approach safely Check response Shout for help Call 115 Attach AED Follow voice prompts Start CPR after shock
42
SWITCH ON AED Some AEDs will automatically switch themselves on when the lid is opened
43
ATTACH PADS TO CASUALTY’S BARE CHEST
44
ANALYSING RHYTHM DO NOT TOUCH VICTIM
45
SHOCK INDICATED Stand clear Deliver shock
46
SHOCK DELIVERED FOLLOW AED INSTRUCTIONS 30 2
47
NO SHOCK ADVISED FOLLOW AED INSTRUCTIONS 30 2
48
IF VICTIM STARTS TO BREATHE NORMALLY PLACE IN RECOVERY POSITION
50
Approach safely Check response Shout for help Call 115 - AED Check pulse 30 chest compressions Open airway 2 rescue breaths Approach safely Check response Shout for help Call 115 AED Attach AED Follow voice prompts Start CPR after shock
