Study Notes

Team Roles in CPR

Alternate compressions every 5 cycles or 2 minutes to prevent rescuer fatigue.
Timer/Recorder role tracks interruptions in compressions.
Team Leader is responsible for treatment decisions and role assignments.

Resuscitation Triangle Roles

Key roles include Compressor, Airway, and Monitor/Defibrillator (AED).

High-Quality CPR Interruptions

Pauses in compressions typically occur during intubation, compressor switches, defibrillation, rhythm analysis, or pulse checks.

Clear Roles and Responsibilities

Assigning specific tasks to team members during resuscitation exemplifies effective team dynamics.

Closed-Loop Communication

Clearly communicate role changes, confirming understanding among team members.

Constructive Intervention

Providing tactful corrections to a team member's performance enhances team dynamics.

Debriefing

This process helps team members improve and understand system strengths and weaknesses post-resuscitation attempt.

AED Special Considerations

Special considerations include managing hairy chests, water, transdermal patches, and implanted devices.

Mouth-to-Mouth Breathing Techniques

Rescue breaths for adults, children, and infants involve a 3-step process: open airway, pinch nose, create a seal, deliver breaths while ensuring chest rise.

Rescue Breaths

For adults: Provide 1 breath every 6 seconds.
For children/infants: Provide 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds.

Advanced Airway Management

Types of advanced airways include laryngeal masks and endotracheal tubes. Continuous chest compressions are to be maintained when an advanced airway is in place.

Opioid-Associated Emergencies

Rescue breaths and naloxone should be administered promptly for unresponsive individuals with a pulse.

Choking Management

Recognizing signs like inability to speak, silent cough, or cyanosis is crucial.
Abdominal thrusts should be performed upward to expel obstructions in adults and children.

CPR for Choking Victims

Unresponsive adults require CPR, checking the airway for obstructions while performing compressions.

Infant Choking Relief

The process involves back slaps and chest thrusts designed to dislodge foreign bodies.

Special Considerations for AED Usage in Children

Child pads are preferred, but adult pads may be utilized if necessary. Manual defibrillators are recommended for infants under 1 year.

Chain of Survival

Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Chain includes prevention, activating emergency response, high-quality CPR, advanced resuscitation, post-cardiac care, and recovery.
In-Hospital Chain for adults follows a similar model focused on early recognition and prevention.

General Recommendations

Minimize interruptions in compressions, especially during AED use, for effective CPR delivery.
