Slide 1-

CPR and AED SLIDESHOW We Make Protecting and Saving Lives Easy
Slide 2-

Cardiac Arrest Respiratory System Expansion pulls oxygen into lungs Relaxation forces exhalation Circulatory System Electrical impulses stimulate heart to push blood throughout body Blood vessels absorb oxygen and send to heart and body Veins return oxygen-poor blood back to heart and lungs Cycle repeats 2 The body must continuously supply tissues and cells with oxygen
Slide 3-

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Victims abruptly become unresponsive and collapse Abnormal gasping can occur Breathing may stop Likely cause is unexpected disruption to heart’s electrical system Electrical pulses become disorganized Ventricular fibrillation occurs Blood flow with oxygen it carries stops Brain damage occurs rapidly Quickly leads to death 3 Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen with little or no warning
Slide 4-

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) 4 Allows a bystander to restore limited oxygen to the brain through Chest compressions Rescue breaths CPR alone is not enough CPR is the immediate treatment for a suspected cardiac arrest
Slide 5-

Early Defibrillation Shock is sent through heart to stop ventricular fibrillation, allowing normal activity to return Success dependent on how quickly defibrillation occurs Each minute in cardiac arrest, chance of survival declines by ~10% After as few as 10 minutes, survival is unlikely Time from recognition of arrest to EMS arrival usually longer than 10 min 5 The most effective way to end fibrillation is defibrillation
Slide 6-

Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Open lid or push power button Provides voice instructions to guide attachment and use automatically Analyzes heart rhythm Determines if shock is needed Charges itself to ready to defibrillate Operator pushes button to deliver shock when prompted by AED 6 A small, portable, computerized device that is simple to operate
Slide 7-

Chain of Survival Early recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of EMS Immediate CPR with high-quality chest compressions Rapid defibrillation to the heart Effective basic and advanced EMS care and transport Effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital 7 The greatest chance for survival exists when all the links are strong
Slide 8-

Secondary Cardiac Arrest Without oxygen, heart weakens until signs of life become difficult or impossible to assess Immediate CPR, with effective rescue breaths, may be only chance to restore them 8 Hazardous breathing conditions in a confined space, drowning, and drug overdoses can result in secondary cardiac arrest
Slide 9-

Opioid Overdose Naloxone Temporarily reverses life-threatening effects of opioids Easily administered with auto-injector device or aerosol sprayed into nose Becoming more readily available to lay providers Laws regarding administration of naloxone vary by city and state; know the laws in your area 9 Opioids, taken in excess, can depress and stop breathing
Slide 10-

Children and Infants Age groups for CPR care Infant is younger than 1 year of age Child is 1 year to puberty Adult is puberty and older Chain of survival Prevention of emergencies Early CPR with rescue breaths Prompt EMS activation Effective EMS care Effective post arrest care More likely to experience secondary cardiac arrest 10
Slide 11-

Knowledge Check 11 Describe those links. The chain of survival is often used to describe the best approach for treating sudden cardiac arrest. The first three links of the chain for adults are typically the responsibility of a trained CPR provider.
Slide 12-

Answer 12 Early recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of EMS Immediate CPR with high-quality chest compressions Rapid defibrillation, or electrical shock, to the heart with an AED
Slide 13-

Preparing to Help
Slide 14-

CPR and AED Provider Recognize cardiac arrest Provide appropriate first aid care Make a decision to help Activate EMS Effectively perform high-quality CPR and use an AED Trained to do the following 14
Slide 15-

Recognizing an Emergency Can be unexpected and confusing Does person appear unconscious? Person not moving and collapsed could have experienced sudden cardiac arrest You could be only chance for survival 15 Before helping, be able to recognize that a medical emergency exists
Slide 16-

Personal Safety Pause Look for hazards Consider hidden dangers If not safe, don’t go in If it becomes unsafe, get out 16 Putting yourself in danger can make the situation worse
Slide 17-

Deciding to Help You might hesitate because you Feel like the problem is too big for you to handle alone Fear making things worse Think you don’t have a lot of medical knowledge Think there are others around who might take charge 17 It is a difficult decision and hesitancy is normal
Slide 18-

Deciding to Help If it is safe to do so, take action Put what you learn in this program to work Your actions can help to protect or save a life 18
Slide 19-

Knowledge Check 19 What should you do? You are on a busy street working with other employees to load a truck when one of them suddenly collapses. Another employee kneels next to her and tries to get her attention, but she does not respond. A crowd is starting to gather. You have been trained as a CPR and AED provider and think you can help, but you hesitate because you are unsure about your ability to help.
Slide 20-

Answer 20 If scene is safe, you should still approach and offer to help your coworker. You are only the first link in a progressive chain of emergency care Your involvement lasts only until relieved by another provider or responding EMS personnel — in most cases, a very short period of time Your training provides you with sound knowledge and skills designed only to help — and not harm — those in need Extensive medical knowledge is not necessary CPR and defibrillating, using an AED, are simple and easy to provide
Slide 21-

Protecting Yourself Risk of contracting a disease is very low Wise to take simple measures to avoid exposure 21 You can be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious body fluids
Slide 22-

Infectious Bloodborne Diseases 22 Hepatitis B Hepatitis C HIV, the virus that causes AIDS Infectious bloodborne diseases and pathogens include
Slide 23-

Infectious Bloodborne Diseases Exposure can occur through Direct contact with open wound or sore Absorption through membranes of mouth, nose, and eyes A skin puncture with a contaminated object Immediately report any exposure to your supervisor Follow written exposure control plan for additional care and advice 23
Slide 24-

Standard Precautions Reducing exposure lowers the chance of infection This set of protective practices is used whether or not an infection is suspected To be effective, your approach is the same for everyone, regardless of relationship or age 24
Slide 25-

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Disposable gloves Make sure readily available Always use them Inspect for damage or tears Always remove gloves carefully Use soap/water or a sanitizer to clean hands and exposed skin CPR mask/overlay shield Prevent skin-to-skin contact during rescue breaths 25 Protective barriers worn to prevent exposure to infectious diseases
Slide 26-

Knowledge Check 26 True or False? You are caring for a coworker who has collapsed and is not breathing. Because she is a close friend, it is not important to use personal protective equipment when doing CPR to protect yourself from possible exposure to an infectious disease.
Slide 27-

Answer 27 False Standard precautions is a set of protective practices used whether or not an infection is suspected To be effective, your approach is the same for everyone, regardless of relationship or age
Slide 28-

Skill Guide 1: Removing Contaminated Gloves Grasp First Glove After providing care, always remove contaminated gloves carefully Avoiding bare skin, pinch glove at palm with gloved fingers of opposite hand 28 Slide Finger under Second Glove Slide bare index finger inside wrist band of 2nd glove Remove Inside Out Pull glove away from palm and toward fingers, turning glove inside out Gather glove you just removed with your gloved hand Remove Inside Out Pull outwards and down, inverting glove and trapping first glove inside Discard gloves in appropriate container Use soap/water OR alcohol-based sanitizer to clean hands and exposed skin
Slide 29-

Legal Considerations Implied consent Assumes an unresponsive person would agree to be helped given the circumstances 29 Some basic legal considerations to be aware of as a CPR provider
Slide 30-

Legal Considerations Abandonment Remain with person until someone with equal or greater emergency medical training takes over If alone, may need to leave to get help Return to person as soon as you can 30
Slide 31-

Good Samaritan Laws Voluntarily provides assistance, without expecting or accepting compensation Is reasonable and prudent Does not provide care beyond training received Is not grossly negligent, or careless, in delivering emergency care 31 These laws help protect anyone who
Slide 32-

Good Samaritan Laws 32 Activate EMS or an occupational emergency action plan (EAP) If the scene is unsafe, do not enter! Ask a responsive person for permission before giving care Never attempt skills that exceed your training Don’t stop until someone with equal or greater training relieves you Laws vary from state to state but common sense is always appropriate
Slide 33-

Knowledge Check 33 What legal concept related to providing care applies in this situation? You return from your lunch break to your work area and discover a coworker who appears to have collapsed and does not respond to your voice or touch. You immediately begin to help.
Slide 34-

Answer 34 Implied consent Assumes your coworker would agree to be helped given the circumstances
Slide 35-

Calling for Help Uses specialized communication equipment to gather information and dispatch resources to Respond directly to emergency scenes Provide advanced medical care Transport ill or injured people to a hospital Activate by calling an emergency number, such as 911 35 Emergency medical services (EMS) is a prehospital emergency medical response system developed within a community
Slide 36-

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Will ask for basic information Type of emergency Location Care being provided Answer clearly and concisely Resources will be notified to respond while you are on the line With mobile phone, activate EMS and use speaker to listen and provide care simultaneously 36 Dispatcher will guide you through call and guide you in care
Slide 37-

Knowledge Check 37 Should you activate EMS? You enter a warehouse door to get to your work area and discover one of your coworkers lying motionless on the floor. He does not respond to your voice or touch.
Slide 38-

Answer 38 Yes EMS activation is appropriate when someone is found to be unresponsive
Slide 39-

Chest Compressions Compress deeply, more than 2 inches Compress fast, 100-120 times per minute Do not let speed result in shallow compression depth Allow chest wall to fully recoil between compressions Avoid leaning on chest at top of each compression Normal to hear and feel changes in the chest wall Forceful external chest compressions may cause chest injury, but are critical if person is to survive Reassess hand positioning and continue compressions 39 Quality matters; focus on high-quality techniques
Slide 40-

Chest Compressions— Children and Infants Children Use heel of 1 hand on lower half of breastbone If this is difficult or if you are tired, use both hands Infants Use tips of 2 fingers on breastbone Just below nipple line 40 Compression technique for children similar to that of adults
Slide 41-

Knowledge Check 41 What are they? There are 3 measures of high-quality chest compressions for an adult.
Slide 42-

Answer 42 Compress deeply, more than 2 inches Compress fast, between 100 to 120 times per minute Get close but do not lean on chest, and allow the chest to fully recoil
Slide 43-

Skill Guide 2: Chest Compressions- Adults 43 Position Your Hands Position person face up on firm, flat surface Kneel close to chest Place heel of one hand on center of chest, on lower half of breastbone Place heel of other hand on top of and parallel to first You can interlace your fingers to keep them off chest Position Your Body Bring your body up and over chest so shoulders are directly above hands Straighten your arms and lock elbows Compress Bending at waist, use upper body weight to push straight down at least 2 inches Lift hands, allow chest to fully return to normal position Move immediately into next compression Avoid leaning on chest at top of compression Continue compressions at a rate of 100–120 times per minute
Slide 44-

Skill Guide 3: Chest Compressions-Children and Infants Child — Positioning Position child face up on a firm, flat surface. Kneel close to chest Place heel of one hand on lower half of breastbone, just above point where ribs meet. Use both hands if needed Bring your body up and over chest so your shoulders are directly above your hand. Straighten your arm and lock your elbow Infant – Positioning Position infant face up on a firm, flat surface. Place 2 fingertips on breastbone just below nipple line. Child — Compress Bending at waist, use upper body weight to push straight down 1/3 depth of chest, or about 2 inches Lift your hand and allow chest to return fully to its normal position. Move immediately into downstroke of next compression Avoid leaning on chest at top of each compression. Continue compressions at a rate of 100–120 times per minute Infant – Compress Compress at least 1/3 depth of chest, or about 1 1/2 inches. Lift fingers and allow chest to return fully to its normal position. Move immediately into downstroke of next compression. Continue compressions at a rate of 100–120 times per minute 44
Slide 45-

Rescue Breaths Air you breathe contains ~21% oxygen Exhaled air contains 16%-17% oxygen Exhaled oxygen is enough to support someone’s life 45 Artificial breaths given by blowing air into mouth to inflate lungs
Slide 46-

Establishing an Airway An unresponsive person can lose muscle tone Flat on back, base of the tongue can relax and obstruct the airway Lifting jaw forward, while keeping mouth open, pulls tongue away from back of throat and opens airway 46 You need to make sure there is an open airway
Slide 47-

Establishing an Airway Place hand on forehead, fingertips of other hand under chin Apply firm, backward pressure on forehead while lifting chin upward, tilting head back and moving jaw forward Avoid pressing into soft tissue of chin with fingers, this can obstruct airway Leave mouth slightly open Establishing an open airway is higher priority than protecting possible injury to spine 47 Open a person’s airway by using the head tilt-chin lift technique
Slide 48-

Using Barrier Devices Use a protective barrier when giving rescue breaths to minimize exposure to infectious disease CPR mask Overlay shield 48
Slide 49-

Delivering Breaths 2 breaths given at a time, quickly, in less than 10 seconds Let person exhale between breaths Take regular breath before delivering 2nd If you remove your hands, airway will close Open airway each time give rescue breath If cannot get chest to rise, reposition head further back and try another breath Avoid blowing too hard or long Pushes air into stomach, makes breaths more difficult and increases chance of vomiting 49 Each breath should be ~1 second long, only enough air to create a visible rise of the chest
Slide 50-

Delivering Breaths If possible use appropriately sized barrier device for child or infant Do not give too much air in a single breath Only enough to make chest visibly rise If using an adult CPR mask with infant, rotate 180 degrees for better seal When using a shield or no barrier device Cover infant’s mouth and nose with your mouth for airtight seal 50 Same for children and infants as for adults
Slide 51-

Knowledge Check 51 What is the recommended length and volume of a rescue breath?
Slide 52-

Answer 52 Each breath should be about 1 second in length and only have enough air to create a visible rise of the chest, but no more Additional air is unnecessary
Slide 53-

Skill Guide 4: Rescue Breaths-CPR Mask Position Mask Inspect mask to make sure one-way valve is in place Place mask flat on person’s face with top of mask over bridge of nose Use thumb and forefinger to provide uniform pressure around top of mask Use thumb of your hand lifting chin to control bottom Open Airway Hook fingertips of hand controlling bottom of mask under bony ridge of chin Tilt head and lift chin to open airway Lift face up into mask to create an airtight seal Deliver Breath Blow through valve opening to deliver breaths Each breath is 1 second in length Give only enough air to create a visible rise of chest, but no more Remove mouth and let person exhale after each breath Take a regular breath before delivering another rescue breath Children and Infants When possible, use appropriately sized mask Be careful not to give too much air 53
Slide 54-

Skill Guide 5: Rescue Breaths-CPR Shield 54 Position Shield Place breathing port of shield between teeth and into person’s mouth Open Airway Place one hand across forehead Hook fingertips of other hand under bony ridge of chin Tilt head and lift chin to open airway Seal nose by pinching nostrils closed over or under the shield Deliver Breath Take a normal breath Open your mouth wide Press your mouth on shield around person’s mouth to create airtight seal Blow through port to deliver breath Each breath is 1 second in length Give only enough air to create a visible rise of chest, but no more Remove mouth and let person exhale before delivering 2nd rescue breath Use the same technique to give direct mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths if you elect not to use a barrier device.
Slide 55-

Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Open lid or hit power to turn on Adhere defibrillation pads to bare chest Remove clothing from torso Locate and pull out defibrillation pads Pads have pictures to show proper placement Peel pads from backing sheets and place as shown in pictures One below right collarbone, above nipple, beside breastbone Other pad lower on left side, over ribs, and few inches below armpit 55 AEDs are simple to use; voice, lights, and screen instructions guide you
Slide 56-

Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Allow AED to analyze heart rhythm Automatically analyzes once pads in place Most pads already connected to device Stop CPR Be certain that no one is touching the person If defibrillation advised, AED will begin to charge for shock delivery 56
Slide 57-

Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Deliver shock if directed by AED Make sure no one is in contact with person before delivering shock For most AEDs, a button is pressed to deliver the shock Once delivered, immediately resume CPR, starting with chest compressions 57
Slide 58-

Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Most AEDs have specially designed pads or mechanisms Steps same for child or infant as for adult Pad placement is different for smaller chests Place one pad on center of chest below collarbones Attach second pad on center of back between shoulder blades Use AED configured for adult if one specifically equipped for child or infant is not available 58 Children and infants
Slide 59-

AED Troubleshooting & Considerations 59 If troubleshooting message occurs, stay calm and follow voice instructions CPR should be provided, without interruption, until problem corrected or another AED becomes available Do not pause CPR longer than 10 seconds If problem with pads is indicated Press pads firmly, especially in center Make sure pads’ cable connector is firmly connected to AED Designed to detect problems during use and guide corrective actions
Slide 60-

AED Troubleshooting & Considerations If chest becomes wet after application Remove pads Dry chest Apply new set of pads, if available If chest hair excessive, shave hair in areas where pads will be placed If pads placed on chest hair, not adhering Remove pads and shave hair Attach new set of pads, if available, or re-apply original pads 60 If chest is wet, dry before applying pads
Slide 61-

AED Troubleshooting & Considerations If analysis interrupted due to movement, stop all sources of movement, i.e., chest compressions or rescue breaths If need to replace a battery, may be only enough energy for limited number of shocks and only a few more minutes of operation If AED fails to operate, depleted battery should be removed and replaced with new one If battery needs replacement during resuscitation, it should be replaced during a CPR interval 61 Other troubleshooting messages
Slide 62-

AED Troubleshooting & Considerations A person should be removed from standing water before using AED Okay when lying on wet surface AED should never be immersed in water or have fluids spilled on it AEDs can be used safely on metal surfaces Make sure pads do not directly touch any metal surface 62
Slide 63-

AED Troubleshooting & Considerations Surgically implanted device in chest Noticeable lump and surgical scar visible If device in way of pad placement, place edges at least 1-inch from device Defibrillating over medication patches can reduce effectiveness of shock If patch interfering with placement Use gloved hand to peel off patch Wipe away remaining residue Replace pads 63
Slide 64-

Knowledge Check 64 What are the 4 basic steps you will take to use the AED on him? You have been asked to respond to a meeting room with an AED. As you enter the room, you see another provider performing chest compressions on a man who is lying on the floor. You kneel next to the man and lay the AED next to his head.
Slide 65-

Answer 65 Turn on the AED Adhere defibrillation pads to bare chest Allow the AED to analyze the heart rhythm Deliver a shock if directed to by the AED
Slide 66-

Skill Guide 6: Using an AED— Adults Perform CPR If person is unresponsive and not breathing, immediately perform CPR Provide continuous cycles of 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths 66 If Available, Attach AED Turn on AED and bare person’s chest Peel first pad from backing and place below right collarbone, above nipple and beside breastbone Remove second pad from backing and place on left side, over ribs, and a few inches below armpit If Indicated, Deliver Shock Allow AED to analyze heart. Stop CPR. Do not touch the person If shock is advised, clear everyone and press button to deliver shock Resume CPR Quickly resume CPR with chest compressions Follow any additional voice instructions from AED Continue until another provider or EMS personnel take over If person responds, stop CPR and place in recovery position Leave AED on and attached
Slide 67-

Skill Guide 7: Using an AED—Children and Infants Perform CPR If child is unresponsive and not breathing, immediately perform CPR Provide continuous cycles of 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths 67 When Available, Attach AED Turn on AED and bare child’s chest Peel first pad from backing and place in center of chest below collarbones Roll child and place second pad on center of back between shoulder blades If Indicated, Deliver Shock Allow AED to analyze heart. Stop CPR. Do not touch the child If shock is advised, clear everyone and press button to deliver shock Resume CPR Quickly resume CPR with chest compressions Follow any additional voice instructions from AED Continue until another provider or EMS personnel take over If child responds, stop CPR and place in recovery position Leave AED on and attached
Slide 68-

Primary Assessment — Unresponsive Person If safe, check for responsiveness If unresponsive, activate EMS and get an AED, if available Check for normal breathing 68 A simple way to quickly identify a life-threatening condition
Slide 69-

Primary Assessment — Unresponsive Person If alone with unresponsive child or infant, provide 2 minutes CPR before leaving to call EMS Check for normal breathing Take no longer than 10 seconds Normal is effortless, quiet, and regular If unsure, assume not normal Weak, irregular gasping, snorting, or gurgling sounds can occur early in cardiac arrest If no breath, or only gasping, perform CPR If unresponsive but breathing normally and uninjured, use side-lying recovery position 69 If person unresponsive, send a bystander to activate EMS and get AED; if alone, do this yourself and quickly return
Slide 70-

Recovery Position Protect airway, drain fluids from mouth, keep tongue from blocking airway Frequently assess breathing of anyone in recovery position Person’s condition could quickly become worse and require additional care 70
Slide 71-

Recovery Position When head, neck, or back injury suspected Best to leave person in position found If airway threatened, quickly roll person to clear and protect it Keep head, shoulders and torso from twisting Always perform primary assessment to determine need for CPR 71
Slide 72-

Knowledge Check 72 What do you do next? A fellow employee collapses near you during a staff meeting. As a trained CPR provider, you move to help. You kneel next to him, squeeze his shoulder, and loudly ask, “Are you all right?” He is unresponsive, so you direct other employees to activate EMS and get the company’s AED. You look closely at the face and chest for breathing; he makes a brief gasping snort, but then remains still.
Slide 73-

Answer 73 Perform CPR immediately, starting with compressions Irregular gasping, snorting, or gurgling sounds do not provide oxygen and do not indicate normal breathing
Slide 74-

Skill Guide 8: Primary Assessment—Unresponsive Assess Scene Pause and assess for safety If unsafe, or if becomes unsafe at any time, GET OUT! 74 Look for Normal Breathing Position person face-up on a firm, flat surface Look at face and chest for normal breathing. Take no longer than 10 seconds. If unsure, assume breathing is not normal Weak, irregular gasping, snorting, or gurgling is not normal breathing Check for Response Tap or squeeze shoulder and ask loudly, “Are you all right?” If unresponsive, have someone activate EMS and get an AED Provide Indicated Care If person not breathing, or only gasping, perform CPR, begin with compressions If normal breathing is found, place an uninjured person in recovery position
Slide 75-

Skill Guide 9: Recovery Position 75 Prepare Place arm nearest you up alongside head Bring far arm across chest and place back of hand against cheek Grasp far leg just above knee and pull it up so the foot is flat on ground Roll Grasping shoulder and hip, roll person toward you in a single motion, keeping head, shoulders, and body from twisting Roll far enough for face to be angled toward ground Stabilize Position elbow and legs to stabilize head and body. Ensure no pressure on chest that restricts breathing Make sure head ends up resting on extended arm and head, neck, and body are aligned If person seriously injured, do not move unless fluids are in airway, or you need to leave to get help
Slide 76-

Caring for Cardiac Arrest Pause and assess scene for hazards If dangerous, do not approach If safe, assess for responsiveness If unresponsive, send someone to activate EMS and get an AED Check for normal breathing If not normal, begin compressions Quality matters Push hard and fast Do not lean on chest 76 Immediate, high-quality CPR and defibrillation can double or even triple the chance of surviving sudden cardiac arrest
Slide 77-

Caring for Cardiac Arrest After 30 compressions, give 2 rescue breaths Establish airway first and give only enough air to see chest rise Do this in less than 10 seconds Perform ongoing CPR cycles of 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths Compress hard and fast, letting chest fully recoil after each compression 77 Immediate, high-quality CPR and defibrillation can double or even triple the chance of surviving sudden cardiac arrest
Slide 78-

Caring for Cardiac Arrest Turn on AED Adhere defibrillation pads to bare chest Allow to analyze heart If shock advised, make sure no one touching person before delivering After delivered, resume CPR AED voice instructions and analysis will guide care Do not stop until signs of life, another provider or EMS takes over, or too exhausted to continue 78 Use AED immediately when it arrives. If another person available to operate, continue CPR until AED ready
Slide 79-

Caring for Cardiac Arrest If person responds, stop CPR and place in recovery position Leave AED on and attached If shock not indicated, resume CPR Continue to follow AED’s instructions Avoid interruptions in compression Take turns performing CPR Switch compressors every few minutes During automatic AED analysis that occurs every 2 minutes is best Do the best you can 79
Slide 80-

Compression-Only CPR Instructions can be shared via social media, PSAs, or EMS dispatchers It is a limited approach Rescue breaths are essential for all cardiac arrests, especially children Perform both compressions and breaths during CPR If unable or unwilling to perform rescue breaths, provide high-quality, uninterrupted compressions at a minimum 80 An approach being widely promoted to people not trained in CPR
Slide 81-

Caring for Cardiac Arrest Most cardiac arrests are result of loss of airway or breathing Emphasis on effective rescue breaths as part of CPR is important When alone with an unresponsive child or infant, provide 2 minutes of CPR before leaving to activate EMS and get AED 81 Children and infants
Slide 82-

Knowledge Check 82 Describe the basic details for performing CPR and using an AED in this situation. You have responded to a store customer who collapsed. Your primary assessment indicated she was in cardiac arrest and you have started CPR. Another employee has gone to activate EMS and get an AED.
Slide 83-

Answer 83 Begin CPR starting with compressions Perform ongoing cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths Take no longer than 10 seconds to give the 2 rescue breaths Stop CPR when the AED is attached and ready to analyze
Slide 84-

Skill Guide 10: Caring for Cardiac Arrest—Adults Assess Person If safe, tap or squeeze shoulder Ask loudly, “Are you all right?” No response! Have someone activate EMS and get an AED Check face and chest for normal breathing Normal breathing absent! 84 Give 2 Rescue Breaths Use barrier device, tilt head, lift chin to open airway Make chest visibly rise with each breath Take a fresh breath between rescue breaths Give breaths in less than 10 seconds Provide cycles of 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths Give 30 Compressions Place heel of hand on center of chest Place heel of other hand on top of first Bring body up and over chest, use upper body weight to push down hard, at least 2 inches Push fast, 100–120 times per minute Allow chest to fully recoil Use an AED If AED available, stop CPR, use immediately Turn AED on, follow instructions Deliver shock if indicated Resume CPR after shock delivered or no shock advised Continue until another provider/EMS take over, signs of life, or too exhausted to continue
Slide 85-

Skill Guide 11: Caring for Cardiac Arrest—Children Assess Child If safe, tap or squeeze shoulder Ask loudly, “Are you all right?” No response! Have someone activate EMS and get an AED If alone, perform CPR for 2 minutes before doing this yourself Check face and chest for normal breathing Normal breathing absent! Give 30 Compressions Place heel of hand on lower half of breastbone, just above point where ribs meet. Use both hands if needed Bring body up and over chest, using upper body weight to push down at least 1/3 depth of chest or about 2 inches Push fast, at a rate of 100-120 times per minute. Allow chest to fully recoil Give 2 Rescue Breaths Use barrier device, tilt head, lift chin to open airway Make chest visibly rise with each breath, no more Take a fresh breath between rescue breaths Give breaths in less than 10 seconds Provide cycles of 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths Continue until another provider/EMS take over, signs of life, or too exhausted to continue 85
Slide 86-

Skill Guide 12: Caring for Cardiac Arrest—Infants Assess Infant If safe, tap the foot Ask loudly No response! Have someone activate EMS and get an AED If alone, perform CPR for 2 minutes before doing it yourself Check face and chest for normal breathing Normal breathing absent! Give 30 Compressions Place 2 fingertips on breastbone just below nipple line Compress at least 1/3 depth of chest or about 1 ½ inches Push fast, 100–120 times per minute Allow chest to fully recoil Give 2 Rescue Breaths Use barrier device, tilt head, lift chin to open airway Make chest visibly rise with each breath Take a fresh breath between rescue breaths Give breaths in less than 10 seconds Provide cycles of 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths Continue until another provider/EMS take over, signs of life, or too exhausted to continue 86
Slide 87-

Multiple Provider Approach to CPR Work together to improve performance and reduce interruptions Switching providers every 2 minutes helps to maintain CPR quality Communicate about switches ahead of time Coordinate your actions to switch smoothly and minimize interruption time 87 Commonly more than one trained provider is available to help when cardiac arrest occurs
Slide 88-

Multiple Provider Approach to CPR Prior to AED Arrival Switch providers at end of CPR cycle While person about to move out is giving rescue breaths, new provider can get into position to start compressions When AED Arrives If another person available to operate AED, do not stop CPR Continue compressions until AED is ready to analyze heart rhythm After AED is Attached Switch when AED analyzes heart, every 2 minutes New CPR provider positions to perform compressions and new AED provider gets in place to operate AED After shock delivered or if no shock indicated, start compressions 88 Minimize interruption
Slide 89-

Knowledge Check 89 How would you smoothly integrate yourself to take over doing the CPR? As a trained CPR provider, you respond to a situation in which CPR is already being performed for an employee who has collapsed. An AED is coming but has not yet arrived. The CPR provider looks exhausted.
Slide 90-

Answer 90 Communicate about the switch ahead of time Coordinate your actions to switch smoothly and minimize interruption time Prior to the arrival of an AED, switch at the end of a CPR cycle, while the person who is going to move out is giving rescue breaths
Slide 91-

Skill Guide 13: Multiple Provider Approach to CPR Consider a Switch CPR is tiring When available, switch CPR providers about every 2 minutes Clearly communicate switches ahead of time so everyone understands 91 When AED Is Attached Switch roles when AED analyzes heart This occurs about every 2 minutes Immediately begin compressions after a shock is delivered or when AED advises no shock is indicated Prior to Arrival of an AED Incoming CPR provider moves into place while outgoing provider is giving rescue breaths New CPR provider immediately begins compressions when rescue breaths are completed More than 2 Providers Rotate extra providers in if more than 2 providers are present
Slide 92-

Choking On inhalation, object can be drawn in and block air from entering lungs A forceful thrust beneath ribs and up into diaphragm can pressurize air in chest and pop obstruction out Compression of chest over the breastbone can create enough pressure to expel an object 92 Choking can occur when a solid or small object enters a narrowed part of airway and becomes stuck
Slide 93-

Mild Obstruction Typically cleared naturally through forceful coughing Allow someone to try to resolve the problem on his or her own Stay close and be ready to take action if things worsen 93 With a mild blockage, a person can speak, cough, or gag
Slide 94-

Severe Obstruction Signs of severe obstruction include Very little or no air exchange Lack of sound Inability to speak or cough forcefully Person may hold his or her hands to the throat while attempting to clear obstruction Person without air exchange requires your help to survive 94 A person cannot take in enough air to dislodge the object
Slide 95-

Choking Approach for child nearly the same as for adult Kneel behind child to deliver thrusts Use less force Choking in infant differentiated by sudden onset Signs include Weak ineffective coughs Lack of sound even when attempting to breathe Children and infants 95
Slide 96-

Knowledge Check 96 Describe how to perform them. You are in the company cafeteria eating lunch with a coworker. He is laughing at something you said when he suddenly stops, grasps his throat with his hands, and stands up quickly. He clearly looks distressed, so you stand up next to him and ask, “Are you choking?” He is unable to answer you and completely silent. You decide to perform abdominal thrusts.
Slide 97-
