EMR Basic Life Support
1. in hospital cardiac arrest chain of survival (primary providers): 1.
preven- tion/ treatment of pre existing conditions
2. activation of medical response care /immediate recognition of
cardiac arrest
3. early cpr
4. rapid defibrillation
5. post cardiac arrest care
2. out of hospital chain of survival (lay rescuers): 1. immediate
recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of emergency response
system
2. early cpr
3. rapid defibrillation with aed
4. effective advanced life support, including rapid transport to post
cardiac arrest care
5. multidisciplinary post cardiac arrest care
3. pediatric chain of survival: 1. prevention of arrest
2. early high quality bystander cpr
3. rapid activation of emergency response system
4.effective advanced life support (stabilization and transport to post
cardiac care)
5. integrated post cardiac arrest care
4. definition of sudden cardiac arrest: when the heart develops an
abnormal rhythm and cant pump blood
5. definition of heart attack: when blood flow to part of the heart
muscle is blocked
6. sudden cardiac arrest is often a blank problem: rhythm problem
7. heart attack is a blank problem: clot problem
8. what does the abnormal rhythm of of the heart cause?: it causes heart
to quiver so it can no longer pump blood to the brain, lungs and
other organs.
9. a heart attack occurs when ?: when a clot forms in the blood vessel
carrying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle
10.during a heart attack what happens when a blood vessel is blocked?:
if the blood vessel is not reopened quickly, the muscle normally
nourished by that vessel begins to die.
11.signs and symptoms of cardiac arrest:
1/
, EMR Basic Life Support
unresponsive apneic or gasping
death occurs within minutes if the victim does not receive lifesaving
treatment
