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.
