What do we know about gasping? Gasping is not normal breathing and is a sign of cardiac arrest.
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
Pulse check on an adult
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 100 to 120/min
rate for adults ?
- Compression Depth
- Compression Rate
What can Feedback devices monitor?
- Chest Recoil
Feedback devices can monitor CPR and provide real-time feedback
Head tilt - Chin lift
Step 1
One hand on the victims forehead, push with palm to tilt head back.
How do you open the airway for breaths
Step 2
if SINGLE RESCUER is present?
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 At the side of the victim
the rescuer be positioned?
-Provides positive-pressure ventilation
-May be used with or without oxygen flow, provides about 21% oxygen from air
Bag Mask Device
-Bag attached to a face mask
-May include a 1 way valve depending on 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
After positioning yourself directly above (E Clamp : thumb and index finger make a C, pressing edges of the mask to the
the victim's head, what is the correct face while remaining fingers lift the angles of the jaw opening the airway)
order of steps for using a bag-mask
device? 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
