CPR for Health Care Providers Adult Child Infant
BLS / BCLS ALS / ACLS Respiratory Arrest Arrest, Cardiac Arrest, Code, Code Blue Ventilations Terminology
American Heart Association • Research • Training • Public Education
Chain of Survival • Early Access • Early CPR • Early Defibrillation • Early ACLS
The Myth A little CPR & everything turns out O.K.
Definitions • Clinical Death = no pulse & not breathing • Biological Death = Permanent brain death (irreversible) Begins 4 - 6 minutes after arrest
CABD’s of CPR • C = Circulation • A = Airway • B = Breathing • D = Defibrillation
Causes of Cardiac Arrest • Heart attack- (or cardiovascular disease) • Trauma • Drowning • Drugs • Electrocution
Cardiovascular Disease Can Lead To: • Heart Attack - myocardial infarction (MI) • Stroke - cerebral vascular accident or CVA (now called “brain attack”) • Aneurysm
Signs of ... • Heart attack = chest pain Typical - pressure, “tightness” Vs Atypical - indigestion, jaw pain
and.. • DENIAL is common • Activating EMS is the right thing to do if you have chest pain
Sudden Death • Ventricular Fibrillation
Ventricular Fibrillation • The most effective intervention is early defibrillation
Defibrillators Manual Semiautomatic Automatic Public access is AHA goal
Public Access Defibrillation -PAD • Casinos • Airports • City buildings • Senior centers • Gated communities
Stroke or “Brain Attack” • hemiparesis & hemiparalysis • headache, blurred vision • aphasia (speaking problems) • one sided facial droop #1 Risk factor = hypertension Signs and Symptoms:
CVD risk factors • Factors that influence the probability of cardiovascular disease.
CVD risk factors that cannot be changed • Heredity • Gender • Age Race also plays a role
CVD risk factors that you can change. • Smoking • High blood pressure • High cholesterol** • Lack of exercise
note • Cholesterol is found in eggs, meat, & dairy products.
other factors ... • Diabetes • Obesity • Excessive stress
note • Having multiple risk factors poses a much greater risk than having only 1 risk factor.
Pediatric safety Injury due to “accident” #1 cause of pediatric death And most are PREVENTABLE seat belts fire safety pools firearms etc...
Pediatrics • Airway problems are common cause of death in infants & children. • Respiratory arrest leading to cardiac arrest.
Basic principles of CPR Obviously dead Reasons to stop CPR Positioning Initial actions CABDs
Obviously Dead (policy 814) • Decapitation • Incineration • Decomposition • Evisceration of heart, lung, or brain
Obviously Dead (policy 814) • Post mortem lividity & rigor mortis (check apical pulse for 60 seconds) • Special situations • MVI with limited resources • entrapment (> 15 minutes extrication time) • ?
Reasons to Stop CPR • Patient Revives. • Patient is turned over to rescuers of equal or greater training. • Doctor tells you to stop. • You are so exhausted you can not continue.
American Heart Association • Infant 0-1 year old • Child 1year - onset of puberty • Adult Puberty on
Establish unresponsiveness • Shake & Shout THIS IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN ASSESSING A UNRESPONSIVE PERSON
Activate EMS • Adults • Initiate immediately and get AED • Children and infants • Witnessed – initiate immediately and get AED • Unwitnessed – 5 cycles of CPR, then initiate and get AED
Position the patient • Supine • On a hard surface
CABD’s of CPR • C = Circulation • A = Airway • B = Breathing • D = Defibrillation
AIRWAY • Conscious Vs Unconscious • anatomical obstruction • solid obstruction • liquid obstruction
AIRWAY • Open the airway. • Head tilt, chin lift : preferred method • If suspected neck injury: Modified jaw thrust.
BREATHING • Mouth to mouth • Mouth to nose & mouth • Mouth to stoma • Mouth to mask
BREATHING Rescue Breathing • Adult = 1 every 5-6 seconds • Child = 1 every 3-5 seconds • Infant = 1 every 3-5 seconds
Adequate Ventilation • No resistance • No escape of air from around mask • Chest Rise - stop when chest begins to rise
Complications of rescue breathing GASTRIC DISTENTION is caused by air entering the stomach Over-ventilating Improper head tilt (no tilt)
Cricoid Pressure • Sellicks Manuever • Prevent gastric inflation/passive regurgitation • Assistance during Endotracheal Intubation
CIRCULATION • Chest compressions • Proper speed • Proper depth • Proper position
Speed of Compressions • Adult 100 times / min • Child 100 times / min • Infant 100 times / min
Depth of Compressions • Adult 1 1/2 - 2” • Child 1 - 1 1/2” • Infant 1/2 - 1” • OR 1/3 to 1/2 the patient’s body depth.
Hand Position • At the nipple line • Off the zyphoid process 2 fingers = infant 1 hand = child 2 hands = adult
Ratios Compressions to ventilations Adult = 30:2 (1 and 2 rescuer) Child & infant = 30:2 (1 rescuer) 15:2 (2 rescuer) • The pause is important to allow for slow ventilations
Complications of Compressions • fractured ribs • fractured sternum • lacerated lungs • lacerated liver, blood vessels, etc.,,
