Study Notes
CPR Guidelines Updates
- CPR initiation is defined as "unresponsive with absent or abnormal breathing" by ILCOR CoSTR 5 and BLS 2021 guidelines.
- Agonal breathing (slow, labored breathing) is considered a sign of cardiac arrest.
- The recovery position in ERC guidelines 2021 is for adults and children with decreased responsiveness due to medical illness or non-physical trauma, not for those needing rescue breaths or chest compressions. Continuous monitoring is critical.
- If breathing becomes absent or abnormal in the recovery position, immediately roll the person onto their back and begin chest compressions.
- Foreign body airway obstruction treatment algorithms remain the same, but the evidence underpinning them has been updated.
- Recommendations exist for cardiac arrest in COVID-19 patients, based on ILCOR CoSTR and systematic reviews.
- Understanding optimal COVID-19 treatment, transmission risk, and CPR precautions is evolving. Data in this area is limited.
Guideline Recommendations
- Consult ERC and national guidelines for the most current treatment and rescuer safety precautions.
- Adhere to local policies for both treatment and precautions.
