Critical components of chest compressions: Adults
where do you place the victim? -
rate -
depth-
hand placement -
chest recoil -
minimizing interruptions -
Place the victim on a firm, flat surface, such as a floor or backboard.
rate - 100 to 120/min
depth - at least 2 inches (5cm)
hand placement - 2 hands on the lower half of the breastbone
chest recoil - allow complete recoil; do not lean on the chest
minimizing interruptions- limit interruptions to less than ten seconds
How to open the airway for breaths?
1. place one hand on the victim's forehead, and push with your palm to tilt the head
back
2. place fingers on the other hand under the bony part of the lower jaw, near the chin.
3. lift the jaw to bring the chin forward
How to use a pocket mask?
1. position yourself at the victim's side
2. place the pocket mask on the victim's face, using the bridge of the nose as a guide
for the correct positioning
3. seal the mask against the face
4. using the thumb that is closer to the top of the victim's head place your index finger
and thumb along the top edges of the mask
5. place the thumb of your other hand along the bottom edge of the mask
6. place the remaining fingers of your second hand along the bony margin of the jaw
and lift the jae
7. perform a head tilt-chin lift to open the airway
8. while you life the jaw, press firmly and completely around the outside edge of the
mask to seal the pocket mask against the face
9. deliver each breath over 1 second
10. enough to make the victims chest rise
Correct order of steps in the In-hospital chain of survival for adults?
1. early recognition and prevention
2. activation of emergency response
3. high-quality cpr
4. defibrillation
5. post-cardiac arrest care
6. recovery
Run over the scene safety and responsiveness assessment for ADULTS
, 1. make sure the scene is safe for you and the victim
2. tap the victim's shoulders, shout "are you ok?"
3. if the victim is not responsive, shout for nearby help, activate the emergency
response system via a mobile device
4. get the AED or send someone to do so
5. assess for breathing and pulse at the same time, taking no more than 10 seconds to
do so
6. check for breathing by scanning the rise and fall of the victims chest for no more than
10 seconds
7. if the victim is not breathing or is only gasping: be prepared to begin high-quality
CPR. Gasping is not normal breathing and is a sign of cardiac arrest
8. to perfrom a pulse check on an adult feel for a carotid pulse
9. locate the trachea by using 2 or 4 fingers, slide those fingers into the groove between
the trachea and the muscles at the side of the neck, where you can feel the carotid
pulse
10. feel for pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds, if you do not definitely feel
a pulse, begin CPR, starting with chest compressions
Normal breathing, pulse felt
- monitor until emergency responders arrive
No normal breathing, pulse felt
- 1 breath 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 available
11. once the AED arrives, check the rhythm:
- shockable rhythm, shock and resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes (until prompted
by AED to allow rhythm check)
- nonshockable rythm, resume CPR for 2 minutes (until prompted by AED to allow rythm
check)
12. continue CPR until ALS providers take over or the victim starts to move
What is a chest compression feedback device?
Feedback devices can monitor CPR and provide real-time feedback for aspects such as
- rate
- depth
- recoil
What is a bag-mask device provide?
A bag-mask device:
- provides a positive-pressure ventilation
- consists of a bag attached to a face mask
- may include a 1-way valve
How to use a bag-mask device
