FHM TRAINING TOOLS

1. FHM TRAINING TOOLS This training presentation is part of FHM’s commitment to creating and keeping safe workplaces. Be sure to check out all the training programs that are specific to your industry.

2. CPR for Lay Rescuers

3. Learning Objectives • Objectives: • Recognize the role of CPR • Understand the current guidelines for lay rescuer CPR • Be prepared to manage other issues that arise performing CPR

4. Agenda • Agenda: • Overview • CPR for lay rescuers procedure • Companion issues

5. Section 1 Overview of the Issue

6. What is CPR? • Brain suffers from oxygen starvation: • Damage after four minutes • Irreversible damage after sevenminutes • Use CPR to “buy time”

7. CPR Facts and Statistics • According to the American Heart Association (AHA): • Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) accounts for over 550,000 adult deaths • 330,000 are due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) • SCA causes 900 American deaths daily • SCA is often caused byVentricular Fibrillation (VF)

8. More CPR Facts and Statistics • CPR and AED benefits: • Doubles survival rate • Maintains vital blood flow • Without CPR, survival chancesfall 10 percent per minute • Defibrillation restores normal heart rhythm and pumping

9. What Does OSHA Have to Say? • OSHA standards that require CPR training: • 1910.146 - Permit-required Confined Spaces • 1910.266 - Logging operations– First Aid and CPR Training • 1910.269 - Electric PowerGeneration, Transmission, and Distribution • 1910.410 - Qualifications ofDive Teams • 1926.950 - Construction ofPower Transmission andDistribution Facilities

10. Section 2 Lay Rescuer Adult CPR Procedure

11. CPR Guidelines • CPR performance guidelines: • Provide standard approach for best results • Changes intend to simplify CPR

12. CPR at Home • CPR at home: • 80 percent of cardiac arrests happen at home • CPR can mean the difference between life and death

13. The Adult CPR Procedure • Basic CPR steps: • Check responsiveness • No response, call for help • Tilt victim’s head back • Provide two rescue breath’s • Begin chest compressions • Continue with 2 rescue breaths and 30 compressions

14. 2005 Guideline Changes • Guidelines changed in 2005: • Published in 2005 issue of American Heart Associationjournal Circulation • Publication available at http://www.circulationaha.org

15. Rescue Breaths • Rescue breaths: • Give each rescue breath over 1 second • Each rescue breath should make the chest rise • Rescue breaths and chest compression in ratio of 30:2

16. Chest Compressions • Effective chest compressions: • Perform at center of chest • Push hard and fast • Allow chest to recoil completelyafter each compression • Use equal compression andrelaxation times • Limit interruptions

17. Chest Compression Ratios • Ratios: • Chest compressions to rescue breaths is 30 to 2

18. The Reality of Lay Rescuer CPR • Common consequences: • Cracked ribs • Victim to vomit • CPR and defibrillation increases recovery to approximately 80%

19. Section 3 Companion Issues

20. Companion Issues • Additional Issues: • First aid kits • Bloodborne pathogens • Disinfection • Medical waste • Good Samaritan Laws • Maintaining competency

21. First Aid Kits • The supplies should be: • Adequate • Reflective of occurring injuries • Readily available for emergency access

22. First Aid Kit Contents • American National Standards Institute: • ANSI Z308.1 - 2003, Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits • Homeland Security National Terror Alert Resource Center: http://www.nationalterroralert.com/readyguide/firstaidchecklis

23. Bloodborne Pathogens • Bloodborne pathogens: • Any pathogenic microorganism present in human blood or other infections materials cause disease • Pathogenic microorganisms cause diseases such as hepatitis C, hepatitis B, AIDS, malaria, syphilis

24. Bloodborne Pathogen Infection Rate • According to the CDC: • 75,000 infected with HBV • 3.9 million infected with HCV • 2.7 million chronically infected • 24-27% unaware of their HIV infection

25. Disinfection • Workplace blood spill plan: • Secure the area • Access spill response kit • Wear protective equipment • Disinfect the area

26. Medical Waste Management • Medical waste: • Solid or liquid waste presenting a threat of infection • Non-liquid tissue, body parts, blood, blood products, and body fluids • Used absorbent materials

27. Good Samaritan Laws • Common features: • No person is required to give aid • Not given in exchange for reward • Responder must not leave the scene

28. Remaining Competent • CPR requires practice: • Steps may be forgotten after 3 months • Demonstrate technique to a instructor • OSHA does not specify frequency of CPR training • Undergo CPR retesting annually
