Study Notes

CPR Ratios

One-man CPR ratio for adults, children, and infants is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
Two-man CPR ratio: adults use 30:2, while children and infants use 15:2 breaths.

Rescue Breathing

For adults, deliver 1 breath every 5 to 6 seconds.
For children and infants, provide 1 breath every 3 to 5 seconds.
In water, the rescue breath rate is 1 breath every 5 seconds.

Compression Guidelines

Adult compression depth should be at least 2 inches.
Child compression depth is approximately 2 inches.
Infant compression depth is around 1.5 inches.

Lifeguarding Acronyms

STAAR: Scan, Target, Assess, Alert, Rescue.
RID: Recognition, Intrusion, Distraction.

Health Concerns

RWI (Recreational Water Illness): Caused by swallowing germs or chemicals in water.
SAMPLE: Symptoms, Allergies, Medication, Past medical history, Last oral intake, Events leading up.

Assessment Techniques

DOTS: Deformities, Open wounds, Tenderness, Swelling.
INDIAN: Intoxication, Neck/back/head pain, Distracting injuries, Altered mental status, Numbness.

Age Definitions

Adult: 9+ years.
Child: 1-8 years.
Infant: 0-1 years.
Height and weight can influence categorization.

Compression Rates

Compressions should occur at a rate of 100-120 per minute.

Triage and Rescue

Triage scan follows a hierarchy of Bottom, Middle, Top.
Unresponsive drowning chain of survival: early recognition, rescue breathing, EMS activation.

Rescue Protocols

10/20 Rule: Scan the entire zone in 10 seconds, reach the furthest point in 20 seconds.
Types of surface rescues: front rescue, rear rescue, two-man rescue.
Ease-in entry is the preferred method for spinal injuries.

Drowning Process

After 20 seconds underwater, submersion occurs; after 60 seconds, the person becomes unresponsive.
Key survival indicator: Time is critical in drowning situations.

Pulse Check

For infants, the pulse is checked at the brachial artery.
For children and adults, the carotid artery is used.

Patron Behavior

Common drowning risk behavior includes breath-holding activities.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Refers to Personal Protective Equipment, including gloves and CPR masks.

RWI Causes

Diarrhea is the most frequent cause of Recreational Water Illness.

Emergency Action Plan (EAP)

A structured document outlining roles and actions to be taken during emergencies.

Rescue Documentation

Instruct, release, and report on water rescues for detailed records of incidents.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest

The chain of survival emphasizes timely treatment approaches.

Drowning Rescue Breaths

Drowning ceases only after rescue breaths have been administered.
