◍ Rapid defibrillation.
Answer: *Rapid defibrilation in combination with high-quality CPRcan
double or triple the chances of survival. Provide defibrillation with a manual
defibrillator or AED as soon as the device is available. -The AED is a
lightweight, portable device that can identify lethal heart rhythms and
deliver a shock to terminate the abnormal rhythm and allow the heart's
normal rhythm to resume. - AED's are simple to oberate, allowing lay
rescuers and health care providers to attempt defibrillation safely.
◍ avoid placing the AED pad directly over the implanted device.
Answer: If a victim of cardiac arrest has an implanted pacemaker or
defibrillator, what special steps should be taken
◍ Placing the pads on the victims bare chest.
Answer: this step is one of the universal steps for operating an AED
◍ Jaw Thrust.
Answer: Maneuver used to open airway when trauma is suspected. It is a
first aid and medical procedure used to prevent tongue from obstructing the
upper airways
◍ Hand placement for CPR for an:Adult, Child, Infant.
Answer: *Adults* -2 hands on the lower 1/2 of the breast bone
(Sternum)*child*- 2 hands or 1 hand (optional for very small child) on the
lower half of the breast bone (sternum)*Infant*- 1 rescuer: 2 fingers in the
center of the chest, just below the nipple line.-2 or more rescuers:
thumb-encircling hands in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line.
, ◍ Gastric Inflammation.
Answer: Term used for stomach inflating due to delivering rescue breaths
too forcefully and/or quickly
◍ scene safety.
Answer: Make sure the environment is safe for rescuers and victim
◍ Perfusion.
Answer: Process of delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body
via arteries
◍ 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
Answer: correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer of a 3
year old child
◍ Cyanosis.
Answer: Bluish discoloration, of the skin and membranes caused by the
deoxygenation. It is divided in two main types - central which happens
around the core, lips and tongue and peripheral, only the extremities or
fingers
◍ AED.
Answer: Automated external defibrillator, is used to analyze the heart's
rhythm and if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, to help the heart
re-establish an effective rhythm
◍ Heart Attack.
Answer: Occurs when blood flow to part of the heart muscle is blocked.
◍ surveillance, prevention, and treatment of pre-arrest conditions.
Answer: * for adult patients who are in the hospital, cardiac arrest usually
happens as a result of serious respiratory or circulatory conditions that get
worse.* Many arrests can be predicted and prevented by careful observation,
prevention and early treatment of pre-arrest conditions.
◍ Trachea.
Answer: Also known as the windpipe, that connects the larynx to lungs,
