    Study Notes

    Definition of CPR

    • Cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a basic life support technique for oxygenation of the heart, lungs, and brain until medical treatment can restore normal cardiopulmonary function.
    • CPR establishes artificial ventilation and circulation in patients who are not breathing and have no pulse.

    Purpose of CPR

    • Restore cardiopulmonary functioning
    • Prevent irreversible brain damage from anoxia

    Indications for CPR

    • Cardiac arrest
    • Respiratory arrest
    • Combination of both

    Definition of Cardiac Arrest

    • Loss of cardiac function, breathing, and consciousness

    Causes of Cardiac Arrest

    6H Causes

    • Hypoxia
    • Hypotension
    • Hypothermia
    • Hypoglycemia
    • Acidosis (H)
    • Hypokalemia (electrolyte disturbance)

    4T Causes

    • Cardiac tamponade
    • Tension pneumothorax
    • Thromboembolism
    • Toxicity (digoxin, local anesthetic, insecticides)
