100% CORRECT
A 34 year old man has been pulled out of a lake after being submerged for
several minutes. By standers describe that he appeared to become
exhausted while swimming. Why are effective rescue breathes important if
your BLS assessment indicates cardiac. - ✔✔Drowning is a common
cause of secondary cardiac arrest in which the heart becomes
progressively weaker form the lack of oxygen. Immediate CPR with an
emphasis on high quality rescuer breaths may provide his only chance of
for survival.
Abuse of opioid is a serious health problem
Opioids can depress and stop breathing resulting in secondary cardiac
arrest
Naloxone is medication that can quickly reverse opioid effects and is being
made more available to those likely to be in contact with someone who may
have an opioid overdose - ✔✔Opioid Overdose
, Secondary Cardiac Arrest - ✔✔Occurs at the end of a loss of an airway or
breathing
Without oxygen, the heart gets progressively weaker until it stops
CPR with an emphasis on rescues breathes may be the only chance to
help
children and Infants - ✔✔Much more likely to experience a secondary
cardiac arrest instead of a sudden one
Describing ages in relation to CPR:
-An infant is younger than 1 year old
-A child is 1 year of age until onset of puberty
-An adult from onset of puberty and older
The most effective way to end ventricular fibrillation is_______ -
✔✔defibrillation- a controlled electrical shock is sent through the heart to
stop ventricular fibrillation, allowing heart's normal electrical activity to
return and restore the normal pumping action of the heart.
electrical system of the heart malfunctions, resulting in ventricular fibrillation
- ✔✔Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
