Study Notes
CPR Guidelines Update 2020
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines are reviewed and revised every five years.
2010 Guidelines
- Major changes were implemented, replacing ABC (Airway, Breathing, and Circulation) with CAB (Compressions, Airway, and Breathing).
2015 Guidelines Update
- Emphasis is placed on better recognition, response, and reaction to cardiac arrest.
- Key elements include:
- Modified algorithm for layperson rescuers to notify 911 without leaving the patient's side.
- Chest compressions should be delivered between 100 and 120 per minute.
- Adult chest compression depth should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) but no more than 2.4 inches (6 cm).
Main Points of the 2015 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Update
- Continuation of emphasis on rapid recognition of unresponsiveness and calling 911 as quickly as possible.
- Initiating high-quality CPR with "hard-n-fast" compressions when a victim is found not breathing or exhibiting ineffective gasping.
- Delivering high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves:
- Compressing the chest at an adequate rate and depth to increase blood circulation to vital organs.
- Allowing adequate time for complete chest recoil while maintaining a rate of 100 to 120/minute in adults.
- Avoiding excessive or ineffective ventilations through proper rescue breathing.
- Minimizing cardiopulmonary resuscitation interruptions.
