5. CPR Course Level 1 The Good Samaritan Act Identify yourself Ask Permission Act Reasonable (no cutting, sewing or poking ) Stay with victim 5

6. CPR Course Level 1 Legal Issues Once you initiate aid to a victim, you must continue CPR unless: ● It is necessary in order to activate EMS (infant CPR sequence) ● Someone with equal or greater training takes over ● Continuing to provide assistance would be unsafe ● You are physically exhausted 6

7. CPR Course Level 1 Legal Issues Consent must be obtained from a victim before a rescuer can provide assistance. Consent is implied if; ● Victim is unconscious ● Victim is under 18 yrs of age and no guardian is available ● The victim is intoxicated or delusional, or the rescuer at least believes they are 7

8. CPR Course Level 1 Disease Transmission / Barrier Devices Barrier devices are typically available as a face shield or face mask. A face mask is ideal as it reduces exposure to the rescuer (a face shield does not reduce risk as much as a face mask). 8

9. CPR Course Level 1 The Human Heart The function of the heart is to circulate (pump) blood throughout the body to provide oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products. 9

10. CPR Course Level 1 The Human Heart The heart has four chambers 10

11. CPR Course Level 1 The Human Heart The Heart’s Electrical Path 11 The heart's electrical system controls the synchronized and rhythmic pumping efficiency of the heart.

12. CPR Course Level 1 The Human Heart Problems with the heart's electrical system can cause heart rhythm disorders that may lead to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). 12

16. CPR Course Level 1 Signs and Symptoms Signs: A sign is an objective indication of something that is typically detected by a physician; a sign is discovered by a physician. Symptoms: A symptom is a subjective indication of something that is typically reported by a patient; a symptom is experienced by a patient. 16

17. CPR Course Level 1 Heart Attack, Angina & Cardiac Arrest Angina: a disease caused by the narrowing of the coronary artery. Heart Attack: death to an area of the HEART muscle due to a lack of oxygen. Cardiac Arrest: complete cessation of cardiac activity (heartbeat). 17

20. CPR Course Level 1 Stroke & TIA Ischemic Stroke Ischemic stroke is a life-threatening event in which part of the brain does not receive enough oxygen, usually due to a blood clot lodged in a cerebral artery. 20

21. CPR Course Level 1 Stroke & TIA Signs and Symptoms ● numbness ● sudden weakness ● trouble speaking ● vision problems ● severe headache ● dizziness 21

22. CPR Course Level 1 Assess Environment ● Check for hazards (ladder, glass, chemicals, etc.) ● What is the risk to you? What, if any, further risk is there to the victim? ● What happened? ● How many victims are there? ● Is the scene changing? ● Is there an AED or First Aid kit close by? 22

23. CPR Course Level 1 Determine Responsiveness Shout or speak loudly to victim and ask if they are okay. Squeeze or pinch shoulders. 23

24. CPR Course Level 1 Activate EMS 24

25. CPR Course Level 1 Activate EMS ● Provide the dispatcher with the number of victims, age, gender condition and location of emergency. ● Stay on line until the dispatcher tells you it is okay to hang up. ● If a bystander calls EMS, ask them to report back to you to ensure that EMS has been activated. ● Ask dispatcher the estimated time of arrival for EMS. 25

26. CPR Course Level 1 Utilizing Bystanders ● Phone EMS ● Wait for EMS ● AED available ● Remove hazards from scene ● Crowd control ● Get supplies (e.g., blankets) ● Protect victim’s belongings ● Write down details of incident 26

27. CPR Course Level 1 Open Airway Perform a head tilt, chin lift by placing the heel of one hand on the victim’s forehead, and the fingers of the other hand under victim’s chin. Tilt head back to allow airway to open. 27

28. CPR Course Level 1 Check for Breathing Place your ear over the victim’s mouth and nose to allow you to be able to listen and feel for exhaled air (5 sec). Watch the victim’s chest to see if there is any movement. A victim that is gasping for air is not considered “breathing”. 28

29. CPR Course Level 1 Recovery Position An unconscious adult or child who is breathing and has no other life threatening emergencies should be placed in the recovery position. While a victim is in the recovery position, you are able to continually reassess his or her status, check vitals, and maintain an open airway. 29

30. CPR Course Level 1 Compressions ● Place heel of one of your hands on the victim’s chest. ● Centre this hand between the victim’s nipples. ● Place your other hand on top of this hand (one or two hands depending on the size of the child ). ● Push hard and fast (rate should be 100 compressions per minute). ● Count “one and, two and, three and”, etc. ● Be sure to allow chest to come back to normal position between compressions. 30

31. CPR Course Level 1 Compressions ● Landmarking for compressions is just between the nipples of the victim. ● Compression depth should be 5 cm, or 2 inches. ● Aim for ~100 compressions every minute, or just under two compressions per second. 31

32. CPR Course Level 1 Rescue Breathing Seal victim’s mouth and pinch the nose closed. Give two normal breaths (allow each breath to be delivered over one second). Ensure the victim’s chest rises. Allow chest to return to normal position before providing next breath. 32 PRACTICE

33. CPR Course Level 1 Adult CPR (One Rescuer Sequencing) 1. Assess environment 2. Determine unresponsiveness 3. Activate EMS 4. Attempt to get AED 5. Open airway 6. Check for breathing 7. Landmark and begin compressions 8. Provide two rescue breaths 9. 30 compressions:2 breaths until EMS arrives or victim responds to treatment 33

34. CPR Course Level 1 Child CPR: Differences Depth of compressions is 1/3 the depth of the chest. One or two hands depending on the size of the child. Five cycles of compressions and breaths are performed before activating EMS. 34

35. CPR Course Level 1 Infant CPR: Differences Scratch foot to determine responsiveness. Compression depth is 1/3 the depth of the chest. Two fingers used for compressions (just below nipple line). Breaths are puffs and mouth and nose are sealed with your mouth. Five cycles of compressions and breaths are performed before activating EMS. 35

36. CPR Course Level 1 Choking Unable to speak Unable to cough Hands at throat Face changing colour 36

37. CPR Course Level 1 Choking 1.Determine severity of obstruction. 2.If mild, encourage coughing and reassure victim. 3.If severe, shout for help, start cycles of 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts until airway is clear, or victim becomes unconscious. Conscious Adult or Child 37

38. CPR Course Level 1 Choking 1.Assess environment 2.Determine responsiveness 3.Activate EMS 4.Attempt to obtain AED 5.Open airway 6.Assess breathing 7.Landmark and provide 30 chest compressions 8.Look in mouth for object (remove only if object seen) 9.Give one rescue breath, if it fails reposition head and try again 10.Repeat sequence until successful or EMS arrives Unconscious Adult or Child 38

39. CPR Course Level 1 Choking: Infant 1.Determine severity of obstruction. 2.Perform five back blows followed by five chest thrusts. 3.Continue until airway becomes clear or victim becomes unconscious. 4.If the infant becomes unconscious begin the infant CPR sequence. Conscious to Unconscious 39

40. CPR Course Level 1 Sudden Cardiac Arrest Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart's electrical system malfunctions and the heart stops beating. 40

41. CPR Course Level 1 Did you Know… More than 35,000 Canadian lives are lost each year due to cardiac arrest. Defibrillation improves survival rates by up to 30 % if delivered in the first few minutes. With each passing minute, the probability of survival declines by 7 to 10%. Making defibrillators easily accessible has the potential to save thousands of lives. 41

42. CPR Course Level 1 Did you Know… In SCA, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation causes the heart to beat too fast. ●Ventricular tachycardia (VT), a dangerously fast rhythm in the lower two chambers of the heart. ●Ventricular fibrillation (VF), a rapid and chaotic quivering of the ventricles, which can be triggered by episodes of VT. 42

43. CPR Course Level 1 Did you Know… Normal Sinus Rhythm Sinus arrhythmia refers to the normal increase in heart rate that occurs when you breathe in. 43

44. CPR Course Level 1 Did you Know… Ventricular tachycardia (VT) An abnormal contraction of the ventricles that lead to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. 44

45. CPR Course Level 1 Did you Know… Ventricular fibrillation (VF) A chaotic heartbeat that often precedes cardiac arrest. When the heart is in fibrillation, there is no effective blood being supplied from to any part of the body, breathing stops and cardiac arrest occurs. 45

46. CPR Course Level 1 Did you Know… Ventricular fibrillation (VF) VF is the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)! The only definitive treatment for SCA is defibrillation - an electric current that "shocks" the heart so that a normal rhythm may resume. 46

47. CPR Course Level 1 Did you Know… Asystole (Flat Line) A flat line means the person's heart has stopped altogether. 47

48. CPR Course Level 1 What is an AED? An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a machine that can monitor heart rhythms. It can tell if the heart has stopped beating effectively. If required, the machine can then deliver an electric shock to the heart. 48

49. CPR Course Level 1 What is an AED? Do AED units replace the use of CPR? The AED does not take the place of CPR. The AED’s function is to correct the underlying rhythm when the heart is in V-Fib. CPR's function is to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. 49

50. CPR Course Level 1 What is an AED? Not everyone can be saved from SCA, even with defibrillation. But early defibrillation, especially when delivered within three minutes of a person's collapse from SCA, does provide the best chance. 50

51. CPR Course Level 1 How AED Units Work Defibrillators work by giving the heart a controlled electric shock, forcing all the heart muscles to contract at once, and, hopefully jolting it back into a regular rhythm. 51

52. CPR Course Level 1 How AED Units Work Turn “ON” AED unit Voice and visual instructions occur immediately. Follow prompts. 52

53. CPR Course Level 1 SA NODE 53

54. CPR Course Level 1 When pads are attached to the patient the AED will automatically assess the patient. 54

55. CPR Course Level 1 Prompts: “Assessing heart rhythm” and “Do not touch the patient” 55

56. CPR Course Level 1 When ready to deliver a shock, the unit will advise: “Press the shock button now” Button will illuminate when system is charged 56

57. CPR Course Level 1 How AED Units Work Defibrillation works only if there is already electrical activity going on in the heart. A defibrillator doesn't work if a person is in flat line. Since a defibrillator stops the heart, it wouldn't make sense to stop a heart that is already stopped. 57

58. CPR Course Level 1 How AED Units Work How many Shocks? Only one, Followed by CPR. ● When shock is advised, give one shock, then immediately give five cycles, or about two minutes of CPR. ● When no shock is advised, immediately give five cycles, or about two minutes of CPR. ● If at any time you notice an obvious sign of circulation, stop CPR and monitor ABCs. 58

59. CPR Course Level 1 How AED Units Work AED Algorithm 59

60. CPR Course Level 1 What about Liability Chase McEachern Act – Bill 171 Protects individuals from liability for damages that may occur in relation to their use of an AED to save someone’s life at the immediate scene of an emergency, unless damages are caused by gross negligence. This legislation came in to effect on July 3, 2007. 60
