CPR/RQI
A bag-mask device is used to provide____to a victim who is not breathing or not
breathing normally. - ANS - positive-pressure ventilation
A rescuer arrives at the side of an adult victim and suspects an opioid-associated
life-threatening emergency. The victim is unresponsive and not breathing normally but
has a pulse. what is the next action the rescuer should take? - ANS - give 1 rescue
breath every 6 seconds
Adult BLS Algorithm for healthcare providers - ANS - -Verify scene safety
-Check for responsiveness.
----Tap the victim's shoulders and shout, "Are you OK?"
----If the victim is not responsive, shout for nearby help
----Activate the emergency response system via mobile device.
----Get the AED or send someone to do so.
-Look for no breathing or only gasping and checks the pulse (simultaneously). Is a pulse
definitely felt within 10 seconds?
-Normal breathing, pulse felt
----Monitor until emergency responders arrive.
-No normal breathing, pulse felt
----1 breathe every 6 seconds or 10 breaths/min.
----Check the pulse every 2 minutes
----If no pulse, start CPR
----If possible opioid overdose, administer naloxone if available per, protocol.
-No normal breathing or only gasping, pulse not felt
----Start CPR
----Perform cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths
----Use AED as soon as it is available
-Once the AED arrives, check the rhythm:
--Shockable rhythm
----Give 1 shock and resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes (until prompted by AED to
allow rhythm check).
--Nonshockable rhythm
----Resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes (until prompted by AED to allow rhythm
check).
,-Continue CPR until ALS providers take over or the victim starts to move.
Advanced Airways - ANS - A laryngeal mask airway, supraglottic airway device, and
endotracheal tube are types of advanced airways.
-when an advanced airway is in place:
---perform continuous compressions at 100 to 120/min
---give 1 breathe every 6 seconds for adults
---give 1 breath every 2 or 3 seconds fo a child or infant
---no pauses in compressions to give breaths
AED OVERVIEW-Automated external defibrillator - ANS - -An AED is a device that
analyzes the heart rhythm to identify the presence of an arrhythmia that can be
corrected by a shock.
-Lightweight, portable device.
-Simple to operate.
-Uses voice prompts, lights, and on-screen messages.
AED Pad Placement: adults and Children 8 years and older - ANS - Anterolateral
placement
-Place one pad directly below the right collarbone
-Place the other pad to the side of the left nipple, with the top edge of the pad a few
inches below the armpit.
Anteroposterior Placement
-Place one pad on the left side of the chest, halfway between the tip of the breastbone
and left nipple.
-Place the other pad on the left side of the victim's back, beneath the shoulder blade,
next to the spine
AED pad placement: infants and children less than eight years of age - ANS - - Pad
choice
---- if your aed include smaller size pads that are designed for children under 8 years of
age use them
---- if not use the adult pads while making sure they do not touch or overlap
---- do not use the children's pads for an adult. The shock does is too small for an adult
- replacement
---- some AED pads recommended placing one pad on the chest and one pad on the
back of the infant and child
----follow the pictures on the pad packages for proper placement
AED Special Considerations - ANS - -hairy chest
, ----If your AED has 1 set of pads and razor quickly shave the area and then apply the
pads
----If your AED has two sets of pads use the first set to remove the hair. Apply the first
set of pads, press them down so they can stick as much as possible and quickly pull
them off. Then apply the new second step pads.
- Water
----If someone is lying in water quickly move the victim to a dry surface
--------If the victim is lying in snow or small puddle use the AED
----If the chest is covered with water or sweat wipe the chest before attaching the pads
-Transdermal medicine patch
----do not place the pad directly over medicine patch
----take the patch off and quickly wipe the chest before you put on the patch
-Implanted defibrillator or pacemaker
-If you see a lump inside a device, avoid placing the pad directly over it
-Defibrillation for infants less than one year of age
-A manual defibrillator is preferred weather than an AED.
-If a manual defibrillator is not available, an AED with a pediatric dose attenuator is
preferred.
-If it is available you may use an AED without a pediatric dose alternator.
After 4 minutes of rescue breathing, no pulse is present during a pulse check. What
immediate actions should be taken? - ANS - Immediately begin CPR and turn on the
AED
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? - ANS - Resume
CPR, starting with chest compressions
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? - ANS - Resume
CPR, starting with chest compressions
After checking for breathing and a pulse, you find that the patient is not breathing
normally but had a pulse and needs rescue breathing. What is the correct ventilation
rate? - ANS - 1 breath every 6 seconds, or about 10 breaths per minute
After checking for breathing and a pulse, you verify that the child is not breathing
normally but has a pulse. His airway is not obstructed. How do you deliver rescue
breaths? - ANS - 1 breath every 2 or 3 seconds, or about 20 to 30 breathers per
minute
