Study Notes

Effective Team Dynamics

Clear roles and responsibilities enhance clarity in task execution during resuscitation.
Knowledge sharing promotes collaborative problem-solving and improves performance.
Debriefing helps teams reflect on actions taken to improve future performance.
Constructive intervention involves tactfully correcting colleagues to ensure optimal team function.

High-Performance Team Dynamics Elements

Assigning specific roles during resuscitation demonstrates clear roles and responsibilities.
Closed-loop communication ensures that instructions are acknowledged and confirmed by team members.

CPR and Patient Interaction

During CPR, minimal pauses in chest compressions result in a high chest compression fraction.
Sequence for delivering breaths includes sealing the victim's mouth, providing breaths over one second, and monitoring for chest rise.

Rescue Breathing Guidelines

Mouth-to-mouth breaths are indicated when no barrier device is available.
For adults, deliver 1 breath every 6 seconds while ensuring visible chest rise.
For children and infants, provide 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds, maintaining chest rise.

Bag-Mask Device

A bag-mask device assists in providing positive-pressure ventilation and is essential for effective ventilation strategies.

Monitoring and Feedback

Chest compression feedback devices monitor compression depth, rate, and chest recoil to optimize CPR quality.

Advanced Airways

Types of advanced airways include laryngeal mask airways, supraglottic airway devices, and endotracheal tubes.
When using an advanced airway, perform continuous chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute without pauses for breaths.

Opioid-Associated Emergencies

Opioid-associated life-threatening emergencies may leave a person pulseless but breathing may be compromised.
Naloxone can temporarily reverse opioid overdose effects, facilitating immediate intervention.
