Slide 6-

Chain of Survival 6 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers
Slide 7-

Key Concepts Leading cause of death in U.S. is Heart Disease Heart disease leads to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Heart suddenly stops beating Person is unresponsive Breathing stops Brain damage in 4 – 6 min w/o CPR The Chain of Survival is a series of actions that gives SCA victims the best chance of survival 7 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Chain of Survival
Slide 8-

5 Steps to SCA Survival What are the best actions to take immediately after Sudden Cardiac Arrest? 5 Steps to Survival Activate EMS (Call 9-1-1) Early CPR Early Defibrillation Early Advanced Care Post-Arrest Care 8 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Chain of Survival
Slide 9-

Activate EMS (Call 9-1-1) Use cell phone or land line Activate EMS (Call 9-1-1) Recognize cardiac arrest Not responding Chest not moving, no breathing Don’t delay: early 9-1-1 linked to increased SCA survival Send bystander if possible If unsure, go call! 9 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Chain of Survival
Slide 10-

Early CPR Start compressions! Early CPR Start with Chest Compressions Compressions restore flow of oxygen to brain Good chest compressions linked to increased survival Push hard and fast! 10 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Chain of Survival
Slide 11-

Early Defibrillation Early Defibrillation Defibrillators can restart the heart of an SCA victim Calling 9-1-1 gets a defibrillator to the scene An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is used by citizen rescuers Some public places like airports have AEDs accessible to all rescuers 11 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Chain of Survival Use AED when it arrives
Slide 12-

Advanced & Post-Arrest Care Advanced Care AKA: Advanced Life Support Provided by paramedics, continued at hospital Adds advanced airway management, drug therapy, cardiac monitoring to CPR Goal: restart heart and stabilize for post-arrest care Post-Arrest Care Comprehensive care once person is stabilized Begins at hospital and continues through discharge Provided by doctors, nurses, therapists and many others Goal: Improve chances of continued survival with least disability 12 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Chain of Survival
Slide 13-

Discussion Why is activating EMS the first link in the chain of survival? Are AEDs located in your community or workplace? Where? Why does the bystander have the biggest impact on survival of SCA? 13 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Chain of Survival
Slide 14-

CPR Overview 14 CPR/AED for Community Rescuers
Slide 15-

Key Concepts CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Overview 15 Cardiac Arrest = No heartbeat No oxygen to brain or vital organs CPR can: Keep brain alive Oxygenate vital organs Extend the time for successful defibrillation
Slide 16-

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Heart is squeezed between sternum and backbone CPR Combines external chest compressions and rescue breathing Breaths fill lungs Compressions move oxygen by pumping blood Keeps brain alive Chest compressions are most important part CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Overview 16
Slide 17-

What is an AED Automated External Defibrillator (AED) What it does… Uses voice and visual prompts Easily guides rescuers Analyzes heart rhythm Determines if shock is needed Restores normal rhythm Provides CPR reminders CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Overview 17
Slide 18-

Ventricular Fibrillation (V-fib) V-fib to Shock to Normal V-fib is common in SCA Heart overwhelmed by electrical activity Can be related to lack of oxygen Quickly lethal Victim unresponsive CPR won’t stop V-fib “Defib” is only treatment for “V-fib” CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Overview 18 V-fib present in 90% of SCA cases
Slide 19-

How an AED Works AED detects V-fib Sends powerful current through heart Shock resets heart’s electrical activity Heart may start beating normally Like a ‘control-alt-delete’ for the heart CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Overview 19 Power on & attach pads
Slide 20-

Sum it Up CPR restores flow of oxygen to the brain CPR can extend time for successful AED use The sooner an AED is used, the more likely it will work CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Overview 20
Slide 21-

C-A-B The C-A-B sequence applies to victims of all ages. Learn the adult sequence first… CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 21
Slide 22-

Key Concepts C-A-B stands for: Compression Airway Breathing Best sequence of rescuer actions for CPR In first few minutes victim’s body still has oxygen-rich blood Starting with chest compressions circulates oxygen, eliminating need to start with rescue breaths The C-A-B sequence is used for unresponsive victims of all ages CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 22
Slide 23-

Establish Response, Check Breathing Hey! Are you okay? Tap and shout If no response Go call 9-1-1 Get an AED if available Send bystander if present Scan the chest for breathing, 5-10 seconds If no breathing or only gasping: START COMPRESSIONS CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 23
Slide 24-

C: Compressions Push Hard & Fast! Provide 30 Compressions Use a firm, flat surface Center of the chest, between nipples Push hard: At least 2” Push fast: At least 100 compressions per minute Ensure full recoil: Chest expands between each compression Minimize interruptions CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 24
Slide 25-

A: Airway Prepare for rescue breaths Quickly Open Airway Position head using the head tilt/chin lift Place 1 hand on forehead Place 2 or 3 fingers of your other hand near the chin Tilt the head back while lifting the jaw upward CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 25
Slide 26-

B: Breathing Give breaths carefully… 2 Rescue Breaths About 1 second per breath Maintain head tilt/chin lift Pinch nose Seal the victim’s mouth with yours or use barrier Breathe into the mouth for about 1 second Watch for chest rise Lift mouth off Repeat for 2nd breath CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 26 Too much air causes vomiting
Slide 27-

Repeat the C-A-B Sequence Take < 10 seconds to give 2 breaths Quickly resume chest compressions after giving rescue breaths Continue repeating the sequence of 30 compressions, open airway, give 2 breaths CPR is performed in cycles 1 cycle is 30 compressions and 2 breaths (30:2) 5 cycles of CPR can be performed in about 2 minutes CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 27
Slide 28-

When to Use the AED Use AED when it’s available If 2nd Rescuer Present Rescuer 1 continues CPR Rescuer 2 operates AED Switch roles when the AED prompts to stop CPR If no AED, switch performing CPR about every 2 minutes Observe CPR provider & give feedback Pushing hard/fast enough? CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 28
Slide 29-

Recovery Position If breathing normally… Modified H.A.IN.E.S Recovery Position Use when Need to leave to get help Victim vomits CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 29 Place victim on side
Slide 30-

Discussion Could I really do it? CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 30
Slide 31-

Sum It Up Starting CPR with chest compressions circulates the oxygen still in the blood and gives the victim the best chance of survival Quality compressions matter Push hard and fast Minimize interruptions to compressions No more than 10 seconds to give breaths Allow the chest to fully recoil (expand) between each compression Take your weight off the victim’s chest CPR/AED for Community Rescuers C-A-B 31
Slide 32-

CPR Barriers CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 32
Slide 33-

Key Concepts The risk of catching a disease with rescue breaths is extremely low It is common to be uncomfortable with the thought of giving mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths CPR barriers can help prevent exposure to blood or body fluids Create a barrier between the victim and rescuer while allowing for the passage of air CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Barriers 33
Slide 34-

CPR Face Mask May require quick assembly Covers mouth and nose Prevents back flow of exhaled air or fluids Select the correct size: Base (wide end) does not extend past chin Top (narrow end) does not extend past bridge of the nose CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Barriers 34 Molded plastic mask
Slide 35-

Using a Face Mask Press mask onto face Lift the chin to open the airway Breathe into the mask Watch for chest rise with each breath CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Barriers 35
Slide 36-

CPR Face Shield Fits over the mouth Pinch the nose over or under the face shield Stored in keychain pouch with gloves Close to rescuer at all times CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Barriers 36 Small, flexible plastic with a filter or valve
Slide 37-

Using a CPR Face Shield Place over face with filter or valve over person’s mouth Open airway Pinch nose Breathe into the filter or valve Watch for chest rise with each breath CPR/AED for Community Rescuers CPR Barriers 37
Slide 38-

Using an AED Optional Segment, only required for AED certification… CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 38 Optional Topic

Slide 42-

Shock or No Shock? After pads are applied: AED prompts rescuer to stop CPR AED analyzes the heart’s electrical rhythm Do not touch or move the person AED will state ‘shock advised’ or ‘no shock advised’ If no shock advised, AED will prompt rescuer to resume chest compressions If shock advised, rescuer must clear victim first CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Using an AED 42
Slide 43-

Clear Victim and Shock Clear victim first Loudly state, “Clear!” Look up and down entire victim Ensure no one touching person or clothing Press shock button Some AEDs shock automatically (no button) AEDs announce when safe to resume compressions CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Using an AED 43 Do not touch victim or clothing during a shock
Slide 44-

Resume CPR Start with chest compressions AED will analyze heart rhythm every 2 minutes If 2nd rescuer present Switch roles when AED prompts to stop CPR One rescuer rests Other rescuer gets in position for CPR Rescuer 2 will continue to operate AED CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Using an AED 44 Immediately resume CPR
Slide 45-

AED Use on Children Children & infants require less electrical current Special equipment reduces amount of energy delivered Child/Infant Pads Energy reducer or attenuator Pediatric key or switch If pediatric equipment is not available, use standard equipment CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Using an AED 45 For AED use: A child is 1-8 years old, or less than 55 lbs. An infant is < 1 year old
Slide 46-

For Smaller Children or Infants CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Using an AED 46 Use front-to-back AED pad placement if needed Pads should not touch or overlap Do not cut or fold pads to fit
Slide 47-

Adult CPR In CPR, a victim is considered an adult when signs of puberty are present. Look for facial or underarm hair on a male or signs of breast development on a female. CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 47
Slide 48-

Key Concepts Always check the scene for safety first If the scene is safe, establish a response If unresponsive and not breathing or only gasping, provide CPR using the C-A-B sequence CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Adult CPR 48
Slide 49-

Starting CPR Survey scene, size-up potential hazards Tap the shoulder and shout, “Are you all right?” Call 9-1-1, get AED Send bystander Go yourself if alone Scan chest for breathing (5-10 seconds) Start compressions if no breathing, only gasping, unsure if breathing CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Adult CPR 49
Slide 50-

C: 30 Compressions Expose chest if needed Location: center of the chest, between nipples Use 2 hands: Heel of one hand on chest Heel of other hand on top Push hard: At least 2” down Push fast: At least 100 per minute Ensure full recoil Minimize interruptions CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Adult CPR 50 Use a firm, flat surface

Slide 53-

Continue CPR If 2 rescuers, switch roles every 2 min (5 cycles) or when AED is analyzing Rest between roles as CPR provider Keep provider on pace (at least 100 comp/min) Instruct compressor to push harder (at least 2”) if too shallow Only Stop CPR if Victim begins to move EMS responders take over AED prompts you to stop CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Adult CPR 53 Cycles of 30:2
Slide 54-

Defibrillation Use when available Place near victim’s head Power on AED Follow prompts Apply pads Press shock button Resume compressions after shock CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Adult CPR 54
Slide 55-

Discussion What is the best way to activate EMS at home? At work? What do you do if the chest won’t rise with the 1st rescue breath? What is the most important part of CPR: compressions, airway management, or rescue breathing? CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Adult CPR 55
Slide 56-

Child CPR In CPR, a victim is considered a child from age 1 until puberty. CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 56
Slide 57-

Key Concepts Usually different cause of cardiac arrest for children and infants than for adults Adults: Heart disease, heart attack Children/infants: Respiratory arrest Common causes of respiratory arrest in children: Injury Poisoning Choking Drowning Asthma CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Child CPR 57
Slide 58-

Starting CPR Survey scene, size-up potential hazards Tap the shoulder and shout, “Are you all right?” Send bystander to call 9-1-1, get AED Stay with the child Scan the chest for breathing, 5-10 seconds Start compressions if no breathing, only gasping, if you’re unsure CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Child CPR 58 If alone, yell for help.

Slide 72-

Special considerations - CPR CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 72
Slide 73-

Key Concepts Certain situations may affect response to cardiac arrest Keep CPR going as long as possible In cold environments A hypothermic victim may have more time before brain damage occurs Do not assume it is too late to begin CPR Electrical shock may cause immediate respiratory or cardiac arrest Scene safety is most important Shut off the power source first Make sure scene is safe before approaching victim CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - CPR 73
Slide 74-

Vomiting A person in cardiac arrest will often vomit from over-ventilation If the victim vomits, roll person to side, sweep out mouth, roll back, continue CPR Reduce risk with rescue breaths by providing just enough air to cause the chest to rise CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - CPR 74
Slide 75-

When to Stop CPR Victim begins to move or breathe AED directs you to stop Scene becomes unsafe Physically exhausted and unable to continue Professional rescuers arrive and are ready to take over Victim is pronounced dead by a qualified person CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - CPR 75
Slide 76-

Compression-only CPR Continuous chest compressions without rescue breaths Exchange of oxygen occurs with the force of compressions Taught by dispatchers to untrained rescuers who call 9-1-1 Also used for adult victim if rescuer is unable or unwilling to provide rescue breaths CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - CPR 76 Only for adult victims
Slide 77-

Nose and Stoma Rescue Breathing Mouth-to-Nose Use if victim’s mouth or jaw is severely damaged Holding mouth closed prevents air from escaping Make a seal and exhale into victim’s nose Mask-to-Stoma Stoma: surgical opening at base of throat Can be performed with mask or mouth-to-stoma Pinch nose closed if possible to prevent air escape Make a seal around the stoma and exhale; watch for chest rise CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - CPR 77
Slide 78-

Special considerations - AED Optional segment, only required for AED certification 78 Optional Topic
Slide 79-

Key Concepts There are 3 situations to consider when applying AED pads that may alter rescuer’s actions: A very hairy chest An implanted device (e.g. pacemaker) A medication patch CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - AED 79
Slide 80-

Very Hairy Chest A lot of chest hair limits contact between AED pad and victim’s skin AED may not be able to read heart rhythm If the first set of pads is not working Press pads firmly onto skin Remove with a quick motion Apply second set of pads CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - AED 80 If only 1 set of pads is available, quickly shave the areas of pad placement before applying pads
Slide 81-

Implanted Devices Devices may include Pacemaker Automated Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD) Medication administration port Most implanted devices do not affect AED pad placement. Do not place pad directly over implanted device Adjust pad placement at least 1” from device CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - AED 81 Device may appear as a small raised lump under skin
Slide 82-

Medication Patches Do not place an AED pad over a medication patch Use a gloved hand to remove the patch Quickly wipe chest clean with a towel or cloth Apply pads after area is wiped clean CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - AED 82 Medication can be embedded in an adhesive patch applied to skin
Slide 83-

Storage & Maintenance Close to trained rescuers Near most of people, most of the time Visible signage; easy access Common areas easy to describe With accessories Spare adult pads Pediatric pads or adaptor CPR barrier, gloves Safety razor Absorbent towel Inspection Status indicator shows ‘Ready’ Pads & battery not expired No visible damage No missing accessories CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - AED 83
Slide 84-

Troubleshooting An AED performs self checks regularly and every time it is powered on. The AED will notify operator if problem detected “Check pads” Press down firmly, or replace pads w/ back up set Check pad connection to AED “Low Battery” Replace battery Even in low battery state, AED may provide several shocks Refer to AED manufacturer for more information Movement Disrupts analysis of heart rhythm When AED is analyzing, do not touch or move victim CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - AED 84
Slide 85-

Sum It Up Consider shaving a very hairy chest before pad placement Avoid placing pads over implanted device Remove medication patches Store AED near trained rescuers and a phone If a problem with AED cannot be quickly solved, discontinue AED use and resume CPR CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Special Considerations - AED 85
Slide 86-

AED Safety Optional segment, only required for AED certification 86 Optional Topic
Slide 87-

Key Concepts Using an AED during an emergency is safe Take precautions to maximize safety Consider rescuer’s actions when: Clearing the victim Water is present The victim is using oxygen CPR/AED for Community Rescuers AED Safety 87
Slide 88-

What is Wrong With This Picture? CPR/AED for Community Rescuers AED Safety 88
Slide 89-

Water If victim is lying in puddle of water Move to a dryer area Ensure rescuers not standing in water Water on victim’s chest can interfere with defibrillation Quickly dry chest before applying pads A wet chest may cause electricity from AED to disperse before reaching heart Good pad contact with dry skin provides more effective and directed shock to heart CPR/AED for Community Rescuers AED Safety 89 How would you make this scene safe for AED use? Wipe chest dry before applying pads
Slide 90-

Oxygen Medical oxygen is combustible If a person is wearing oxygen Turn it off or remove the mask or cannula If oxygen is being used with rescue breaths Move it several feet from victim before shock Resume rescue breaths with supplemental oxygen CPR/AED for Community Rescuers AED Safety 90 Some people may use oxygen at home or out in community
Slide 91-

Discussion: How would you REACT? Instructor-led discussion Review workbook questions Discuss at least 1 scenario CPR/AED for Community Rescuers REACT Discussion 91
Slide 92-

Responding to Emergencies CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 92
Slide 93-

Key Concepts Emergency scenes can be dangerous Rescuers can quickly become victims Caution and common sense can save your life CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 93
Slide 94-

R.E.A.C.T to an Emergency R: Recognize Emergency E: Environment Safety and Size-Up A: Assess Victim C: Call for Help T: Treat Victim CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 94
Slide 95-

Recognize Emergency Screams, panic; seriously ill or injured person; victim or bystanders agitated or threatening Suspicious environment; collision or stopped vehicle; environmental hazard Remain calm; stay aware of your own safety Consider resources and options CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 95
Slide 96-

Environment Safety Size-up the scene from a safe distance Blood and body fluids: Use personal protective equipment Traffic: Use car to protect scene; use bystanders to stop traffic Fire or smoke: Do not enter; focus on escape; stay low Hazardous chemicals: Leave the area immediately Confined space: Do not enter! Hostile environment: Do victim or bystanders appear agitated or threatening? Size-up the victim How many? What is their general condition? Identify cause of illness or injury If more than 1 victim, decide who needs help most. If unsure, help person closest to you. Activate EMS now if the scene is dangerous or if there is an obvious life-threatening injury or illness. CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 96
Slide 97-

Assess Victim & Call for Help CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 97 Assess the victim Go to the victim’s side Assess response and breathing Life-threatening illness or injury Call for help Shout for help Call 9-1-1 or your emergency response # If not sure it’s an emergency? Activate EMS Dispatcher will ask questions to determine if an emergency
Slide 98-

Treat Victim Treat life-threatening conditions first If no breathing or only gasping, begin CPR If severe bleeding, control with direct pressure Treat victim in position found Only move victim if Danger Need to position for essential care CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 98
Slide 99-

Calling 9-1-1 When you call 9-1-1, dispatcher will ask Name, location, call back phone # What happened Number of victims and general condition What aid is being given Follow instructions, and always hang up last When EMS responders arrive Continue care until told to stop Tell EMS what time event occurred, what time you arrived, and what care has been given CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 99
Slide 100-

Rescuer Stress Normal to feel stress after incident Each rescuer responds differently to stress Don’t ignore post-traumatic stress, manage it Talk about your feelings Eat properly Avoid alcohol, drugs, caffeine Exercise Get enough rest Don’t judge yourself for your actions CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Responding to Emergencies 100 Obtain professional help if needed
Slide 101-

Legal Issues CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 101
Slide 102-

Key Concepts Some people have a duty to respond to an emergency Other people respond voluntarily Voluntary responders are protected by the Good Samaritan Law Maintain skills to stay informed on current practices CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Legal Issues 102
Slide 103-

Good Samaritan Law Respond voluntarily Not getting paid to respond Provide care with good intentions Stay within limits of training Not reckless or careless Do not abandon victim after beginning care CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Legal Issues 103 Protects voluntary responders from civil liability
Slide 104-

Gaining Consent State name, training, & care plan Ask if you can help Types of Consent Expressed: expresses desire for aid Implied: unresponsive person, unattended minor Minor’s consent: A parent or legal guardian gives consent Right to Refuse Care Can refuse care at any time Observe situation from a distance, call 9-1-1 if needed Right to Privacy Do not give out information to coworkers or bystanders Give information to EMS responders and to supervisor CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Legal Issues 104 Get consent from victim before beginning care

Slide 113-

Sum it Up Keep first aid kits stocked with personal protective equipment If you don’t have personal protective equipment with you, use whatever is available: e.g. To control bleeding, have the victim apply the pressure, or use layers of clean cloth or extra gauze CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Protection from Infection 113
Slide 114-

Heart Attack CPR/AED for Community Rescuers 114
Slide 115-

Key Concepts Heart disease is leading cause of death in the U.S. Heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest More than 1.25 million Americans have a first or recurrent heart attack every year About 70% of the deaths from heart attack occur before the victim reaches the hospital Call 9-1-1 early for any signs of heart attack CPR/AED for Community Rescuers Heart Attack 115
Slide 116-
