What is the first link in the Pediatric Cardiac Chain of Survival?

,BLS/CPR
High quality CPR includes
Start compressions within 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest
Push hard, push fast: Compression at rate of at least 100/min with and
least 2 inch(5cm) depth for adults, approx. 2 inches(5cm) for children, and
1.5 inches(4cm) for infants
Allow complete chest recoil after each compression
Minimize interruptions in compressions(limit to <10sec)
Give effective breaths that make chest rise
Avoid excessive ventilation
5 link chain of survival adult
Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of ERS
Early CPR with emphasis on chest compressions
Rapid defibrillation
Effective ALS
Integrated post cardiac arrest care
5 link chain of survival pediatric
, Prevention of arrest
Early high quality bystander CPR
Rapid Activation of EMS
Effective ALS
Integrated post cardiac arrest care
Change in sequence in 2010
Changed from A-B-C to C-A-B Compressions, Airway, Breathing
Emphasis on High Quality CPR
Compression rate of at least 100/min, depth of at least 2 inches in adults.
At least ⅓ of anterior-posterior diameter of chest in infants and children,
approx. 1.5 inches in infants and 2 inches in children
No look, listen, feel
With new chest compression first sequence, rescuer activates ERS and
starts CPR if adult victim is unresponsive and not breathing/not breathing
normally, and has no pulse. For child or infant CPR is preformed if the
victim is unresponsive and not breathing or only gasping and has no pulse.
Additional Changes
Use of cricoid pressure is not recommended. It is difficult to determine
pulse presence in 10 secs. if you don't feel pulse within 10 secs, begin
chest compressions. Manual defibrillator is preferred, if not available use
AED with pediatric dose attenuator, if not available use regular AED
4 Main parts of BLS
Chest Compressions
Airway
Breathing
Defibrillation
Advantage of 2 rescuers
able to work simultaneously
Initial BLS steps for Adult
Assess victim for response and look for breathing
Activate the ERS and get AED

breaths
Agonal Gaps
are not normal breathing, may be present in first minutes after sudden
cardiac arrest.
Assessment and Scene Safety
Make sure scene is safe for you and victim
Tap shoulder and shout "Are you all right?"
