What is the correct order of steps in the In-Hospital Chain of Survival for adults?
-High Quality CPR
-Early Recognition and prevention
-Post Cardiac Arrest Care
-Defibrillation
-Activation of Emergency Response
-Recovery
1. Early Recognition and prevention
2.Activation of Emergency Response
3.High Quality CPR
4.Defibrillation
5.Post Cardiac Arrest Care
6.Recovery
What are the correct actions to take for Scene Safety and Assessment
-Look for no breathing and only gasping and check pulse (scan victims chest for rise and fall for
no more than 10 sec) (Check carotid pulse)
,-Verify Scene Safety
-Check for Responsiveness (Tap shoulders, Shout 'Are you OK?")
- Activate the Emergency Response System and get an AED (Activate ERS via mobile device) (Get
the AED or send someone to do)
To minimize delay in starting CPR you may.....
Assess breathing and pulse at the same time. (no more than 10 sec)
What do we know about gasping?
Gasping is not normal breathing and is a sign of cardiac arrest.
Pulse check on an adult
1. Locate the Trachea (on the side closest to you), using 2 or 3 fingers
2. Slide those fingers into the grove between the trachea and the muscles at the side of the
neck, where you can feel the carotid pulse
3. Feel for a pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds (No pulse, begin CPR starting with
chest compressions)
What is the correct chest compression rate for adults ?
100 to 120/min
What can Feedback devices monitor?
- Compression Depth
- Compression Rate
- Chest Recoil
Feedback devices can monitor CPR and provide real-time feedback
How do you open the airway for breaths if SINGLE RESCUER is present?
Head tilt - Chin lift
, Step 1
One hand on the victims forehead, push with palm to tilt head back.
Step 2
Place fingers of the other hand under the bony part of the lower jaw, near the chin.
Step 3
Lift the jaw to bring the chin forward.
When using a pocket mask, where should the rescuer be positioned?
At the side of the victim
Bag Mask Device
-Provides positive-pressure ventilation
-May be used with or without oxygen flow, provides about 21% oxygen from air
-Bag attached to a face mask
-May include a 1 way valve depending on device
After positioning yourself directly above the victim's head, what is the correct order of steps
for using a bag-mask device?
1. Place Mask on Victims Face using bridge of nose as a guide
2. Use the E-Clamp Technique to hold the mask in place while you lift the jaw to hold the airway
open
(E Clamp : thumb and index finger make a C, pressing edges of the mask to the face while
remaining fingers lift the angles of the jaw opening the airway)
3. Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for chest rise
If there are two rescuers, 1. positioned directly above the victim opening airway and positioning
bag-mask device. 2. Positioned at the side of the victim squeezing the bag
Why is an AED Needed? (Automated external defibrillator)
To analyze the heart rhythm and provide a shock
in order to restore normal heart rate and rhythm
