  2. A person complains of chest pain and you suspect a heart attack. You should get immediate medical help and place the person in the most comfortable position which is usually: • a. On their back, with legs elevated • b. Seated leaning forward and supported • c. Semi sitting and supported • d. In the recovery position

  3. Which one of the following is a cardiac risk factor that may go unnoticed? • a. Lack of exercise • b. Low blood pressure • c. Rapid weight gain • d. High blood pressure

  4. A heart attack occurs when? • a. Part of the cardiac tissue dies because of a lack of oxygen • b. The casualty is unable to breathe • c. The casualty has no pulse • d. There is a blockage of blood flow to a portion of the brain

  7. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation • Cardio = heart • Pulmonary = carrying oxygenated blood to living tissue in the body, including the heart. • It is important to get blood pumping to the brain to prevent brain damage when the heart stops • Resuscitation = Artificially moving oxygenated blood

  8. What You Can Do • Identify yourself and qualifications • If the person is conscious ask if he/she wants help • If a young child requires medical help and a parent is not available you can provide emergency aid

  9. CHAIN OF SURVIVAL (5 STEPS) • Early recognition • Early access 911 • Early CPR • Early defibrillation • Early advanced paramedics

  18. AR CPR (cont) • Check Pulse (10 seconds) • Carotid (jugular) pulse

  19. Bleeding • Restrict blood flow by putting pressure on wound

  20. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation • Cardio = heart • Pulmonary = carrying oxygenated blood to living tissue in the body, including the heart. • It is important to get blood pumping to the brain to prevent brain damage when the heart stops • Resuscitation = Artificially moving oxygenated blood
