Study Notes
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
- CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a lifesaving technique used in emergencies to restore breathing and circulation.
Indications for CPR
- Use CPR in situations such as drowning, heart attacks, strokes, cardiac arrest, and choking incidents.
Time Sensitivity in Oxygen Deprivation
- Death is most likely to occur after 10 minutes without oxygen.
- Brain damage can be expected after 6 to 10 minutes without oxygen.
- Brain damage is very likely after 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen.
- Brain damage is virtually non-existent within 0 to 4 minutes of oxygen deprivation.
Burn Treatment
- For third-degree burns, activate Emergency Medical Services (EMS) or transport the patient to the nearest hospital immediately.
Airway Management
- If a patient’s chest is not inflating during ventilation, check their airway to ensure it is clear.
Treatment for Bites or Stings
- Use an auto-injection device, if available, to treat bites or stings effectively.
Head Injury Protocol
- Call 911 immediately if a patient has sustained a head injury to ensure timely medical intervention.
Infant CPR Technique
- While performing rescue breaths for infants, place your mouth over both the infant's mouth and nose to provide proper ventilation.
Compression Rate for CPR
- The recommended compression rate during CPR is 100-120 compressions per minute to maintain effective blood circulation.
Unconscious Patient Protocol
- CPR should be performed on any patient who is unconscious and non-responsive, as they are unable to breathe on their own.
Stroke Symptoms
- Signs of a stroke can include a droopy face, weakness in one arm, and slurred or unclear speech.
C.A.B. Acronym in CPR
- The "C" in C.A.B. stands for Circulation, indicating the importance of compressions in the CPR process.
EMS Activation for Adults/Adolescents
- In adults and adolescents, activate EMS before starting CPR to ensure professional help arrives as soon as possible.
