Study Notes
CPR Guidelines for Children and Infants
- Compressions for a child should be approximately 2 inches (5 cm) deep.
- For infants, use two fingers in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line.
AED Use and Management
- Clear the victim during AED analysis and before delivering a shock.
- To minimize pauses during AED use, maintain high-quality CPR until the AED prompts to clear.
- For children under 8, use smaller-sized pads if available, or adult pads if not.
Team Dynamics and Roles in CPR
- Timer/Recorder keeps track of interruptions in compressions.
- Team roles should alternate providing compressions every 5 cycles or 2 minutes to avoid fatigue.
- Effective team dynamics include knowledge sharing, constructive intervention, debriefing, and clear roles.
Rescue Breaths and Airway Management
- Use mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths when no barrier device is available.
- Administer rescue breaths at a rate of 1 every 6 seconds for adults, and 1 every 2 to 3 seconds for children and infants.
- Open the airway using the head tilt-chin lift technique.
Compression Techniques and Ratios
- CPR performed with an advanced airway involves no pauses for ventilations.
- Compression-to-ventilation ratios are 30:2 for one rescuer and 15:2 for two or more rescuers for infants and children.
- The correct chest compression rate for adults is 100 to 120 per minute.
Special Considerations and Emergency Responses
- Activate the emergency response system and obtain an AED after confirming unresponsiveness and lack of pulse.
- Naloxone is administered intranasally, intramuscularly, or intravenously in opioid-related emergencies.
- Check the pulse of infants at the brachial artery and adults/children at the carotid artery.
Signs and Protocols for Emergencies
- Signs of severe airway obstruction include inability to speak.
- In the case of visibly pregnant women in cardiac arrest, begin chest compressions immediately.
- Chest compression feedback devices monitor chest recoil, compression depth, and rate.
Post Cardiac Arrest Care
- Understanding the Out-of-Hospital Chain of Survival is crucial, including immediate activation of emergency response, high-quality CPR, defibrillation, advanced resuscitation, post-cardiac arrest care, and recovery.
- CPR is defined as a combination of chest compressions and oxygen support, aimed at restoring circulation and breathing.
Additional CPR Considerations
- Interrupt checking for breathing and pulse for no more than 10 seconds.
- Use a pocket mask while positioned at the side of the victim for rescue breaths.
- Maintain effective communication and define clear roles during team resuscitations to enhance outcomes.
