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.
