What is IHCA? - ✔✔✔In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
What is OHCA? - ✔✔✔Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest - ✔✔✔- Occurs without warning
- Occurs shortly after symptoms appear
-
Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest - ✔✔✔- Heart attack may cause cardiac arrest
- Heart attack = a clot within a blood vessel of the heart
- Sudden Cardiac Arrest = When the heart develops an abnormal rhythm and can't pump blood
Adult Chain of Survival - IHCA - ✔✔✔1. Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment of prearrest conditions
2. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of emergency response system
3. Early CPR with focus on chest compressions
4. Rapid defiberillation
5. Multidisciplinary post-cardiac arrest care
Chain of Survival - OHCA - ✔✔✔1. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the
emergency response system
2. Early CPR that emphasize chest compressions
3. Rapid Defibrillation
4. Effective Advanced life support
5. Integrated post cardiac arrest
