Emergency in Dentistry: Part I Basic life support (BLS) - Sequence of BLS - Equipment - Techniques
The Sequence of BLS: • Assessment • EMS activation • The ABCDs of CPR - Airway - Breathing - Cardiac - Defibrillation
Step 1: Check for Unresponsiveness Unrespond Call for help --- “6969” --- “119” Check for unresponsiveness ---”Are you all right?”
Step 2: Open Airway “Head tilt- chin life” If suspected head trauma Upper airway obstruction by the tongue & epiglottis “Jaw thrust”
Step 2: Breathing--- Assessment • Check for breathing: - look for chest movement - listen for air escaping during exhalation - feel for the flow of air • Recovery position: - responsiveness (-) - breathing (+) - circulation (+)
Step 2: Breathing--- Positive pressure ventilation • Deliver positive pressure ventilation • “Leak-proof” seal • “OK” signal • Squeeze Ambu bag slowly: >2sec • Observe chest rise • Deliver 2 initial breaths • Sellick maneuver (cricoid pressure) • Preventing gastric inflation
Step 3: Circulation--- Assessment (no more than 10sec) Slide to the groove between trachea & SCM Keep head tilt position • Locate the trachea • Gently feel the carotid pulse
Step 3: Circulation--- Chest compression • Follow the rib • margin to xiphoid • process • Put hand above • fingers Locate the margin of the rib Put another hand directly over the hand
Step 3: Circulation--- Chest compression • Lock the elbow in position, with the • arms straightened • “Shoulder over hand” position • Depress the sternum about 4~5cm • Complete release the pressure but • keep in contact with the victim’sternum • Rate: 100/min • Compression : Ventilation = 15 : 2
Foreign body aspiration • Chest thrust: • for responsive pregnant or obese victim • hand position and technique: same as • chest compression • Heimlich maneuver: • for responsive victim, standing or sitting • give subdiaphragmatic abdominal thrust • - direction: inward & upward
Foreign body aspiration • Finger sweep & tongue-jaw lift: • for unresponsive/unconscious victim • not indicated for responsive or seizure • patient • “tongue-jaw lift” maneuver
Initial assessment Check for unresponsiveness Access airway Yes Open airway Signs of airway obstruction? No Access breathing Yes Positive ventilation Administration oxygen Signs of inadequate breathing? No Access pulse Chest compression Ready for defibrillation Follow ACLS protocol Check BP Recovery position No Yes Pulse absent?
