15.  Called a Transdermal Medication Patch. What is a Nitroglycerin Patch?

16.  Occurs when the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate the blood to the brain and other vital organs.  Weak, irregular or uncoordinated contractions.  The body cannot survive!  Breathing soon stops.  Brain damage can begin in about 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen. What is Cardiac Arrest? Be able to explain.

17.  Adults  Cardiovascular Disease, drowning, choking, drug abuse, severe injury, etc.  Children and Infants  Airway and breathing problems, traumatic injury, a hard blow to the chest, congenital heart disease and SIDS Distinguish the causes of Cardiac Arrest.

20. Explain what to do if there are two responders. (pg. 36)  Identify yourselves as being trained  One person call 9-1-1 while other begins CPR  If tired, other person should take over CPR  Begin immediately with chest compressions

21. Explain when a citizen responder may stop CPR.  Obvious signs of life (breathing)  AED ready to use  Another trained responder or EMS take over  Too exhausted to continue  Scene becomes unsafe

22. Explain and demonstrate child CPR.  C-C-C then A-B-C  Hand positioning  Compress the chest 2 inches***  Give 30 compressions  Give 2 rescue breaths

24.  Read page 45 and learn about AED’S, V-tach, V-fib and CPR.  V-tach V-tach  V-fib V-fib  Real V-fib Real V-fib What happens when the heart fails?

25.  Alcohol wipes  AED use on children  Pediatric AED pads on an adult  Touching the victim  Analysis  Defibrillation  Moving vehicle  Water  Transdermal patch  Mobile phone or radio use Explain general precautions for using an AED.

26.  The AED shock is equal to about 300 volts, enough to fry a burger!!! Explain and demonstrate how to use an AED.

28.  Periodic equipment checks  Battery check/Backup battery  Defibrillation pads  Expiration dates  Replacement after use  Working improperly, warning indicators AED Maintenance

29.  Explain cardiovascular disease.  Identify the risk factors of cardiovascular disease.  Explain signs of a heart attack.  Explain when to call 9-1-1.  Explain what to do until help arrives.  Identify the medications that aid in reducing heart attacks and the affects of heart attacks. (pg. 33)  Explain cardiac arrest.  Distinguish the causes of cardiac arrest.  Be able to list the steps of the cardiac chain of survival. Section 2 & 3 Objectives
