Study Notes

CPR and Rescue Breaths

  • Compressions should be delivered at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute for all ages.
  • Rescue breaths are administered to individuals with a pulse who are not breathing.
  • For adults, provide one rescue breath every 5 to 6 seconds.
  • For infants and children, offer one rescue breath every 3 to 5 seconds.

Pulse Checks

  • Check the pulse in adults and children using the carotid artery.
  • For infants, check the pulse at the brachial artery.

Ventilation Effectiveness

  • Effective ventilations are indicated by the rising of the chest.
  • Each rescue breath should last approximately 1 second.

CPR Techniques

  • Allow full chest recoil between compressions to let the heart refill with blood.
  • Use an AED as soon as it becomes available for individuals with no pulse.
  • The first step in AED usage is to turn it on.

Chain of Survival

  • The AHA chain of survival includes early activation of EMS, early CPR, early AED use, advanced life support, followed by post-cardiac arrest care.

Medical Terminology

  • ROSC stands for Return of Spontaneous Circulation, indicating that the patient has regained a pulse.
  • The most common cause of cardiac arrest in children is respiratory failure or shock.
  • Ischemia refers to the lack of oxygen to body tissues, while infarction means tissue death, commonly referred to as a heart attack.

Stroke Recognition and CPR Positioning

  • Identify stroke victims using FAST: Face drooping, Arm drooping, Speech problems, Time.
  • CPR should be performed on the lower portion of the sternum.

Airway Management

  • Use head tilt-chin lift to open the airway if there is no head or neck injury.
  • Perform jaw thrust maneuver if head or neck injury is suspected.

Advanced Airway Ventilation

  • Provide breaths once every 6 seconds for victims with an advanced airway.
  • When using a bag-valve-mask (BVM), use two hands if team members are available.

Initial Safety and Response Steps

  • After ensuring scene safety, check the patient's responsiveness.
  • If the victim is unconscious, immediately call for help and activate EMS by dialing 911.

AED Usage and Safety

  • Adult AED pads can be used on infants; pediatric pads cannot be used on adults.
  • Chest compressions for adults should be at least 2 inches deep, 2 inches for children, and 1.5 inches for infants.

Compression and Ventilation Ratios

  • The compression to ventilation ratio for adults is 30:2 in both one-person and two-person scenarios.
  • For children in a two-person scenario, the ratio is 15:2; for infants, it is also 15:2 for two people.

Arrhythmias and Choking Sign

  • The two lifethreatening arrhythmias that can be shocked are ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
  • The universal sign of choking is two hands clutching the throat.

Compressions and Communication in Teams

  • Ensure that everyone is clear of the scene before administering an AED shock.
  • In team dynamics, clear roles and responsibilities are vital for effective operations.
  • Knowing your limitations and practicing constructive intervention promotes safer teamwork.
  • Knowledge sharing and closed-loop communication enhance team efficiency.

Breathing and Compressions Timing

  • Assess breathing and circulation for no longer than 10 seconds.
  • After delivering an AED shock, immediately resume high-quality compressions.

Special Situations

  • Compressions on an infant are done with two fingers in the center of the chest.
  • For pregnant or obese choking individuals, perform thrusts at the center of the chest instead of the abdomen.
  • For alert choking infants, place the infant's head down and deliver 5 back blows.

Additional Terminology

  • BLS stands for Basic Life Support.
  • Agonal respirations are temporary gasps that do not qualify as adequate breathing.
  • For unresponsive choking victims, check the airway for obstructions after chest compressions.
