Site Map Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Introduction Procedure Airway Breathing ... a baby Cardiopulmonary resuscitation Introduction Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involves a combination of mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing and chest compression. CPR keeps oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until appropriate medical treatment can restore a normal heart rhythm. Before starting CPR, assess the situation: Is the person conscious or unconscious? If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask loudly, "Are you OK?" Procedure A) Airway: Your first action is to open the airway, which may be obstructed by the back of the tongue or the epiglottis (the flap of cartilage that covers the windpipe). B) Breathing: Mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing is the quickest way to get oxygen into a person's lungs.

Decisions Relating to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation A Joint Statement from the British Medical Association, the Resuscitation Council (UK) and the Royal College of Nursing February 2001 All establishments that face decisions about attempting resuscitation should have in place local policies for decision making. The purpose of these guidelines is to outline legal and ethical standards for planning patient care and decision making in relation to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The focus of the guidelines is situations in which decisions are made in advance and form part of the patient’s care plan. Emergency situations where no advance decision has been made are also covered. Contents Introduction 1. The goal of medicine 2. Presumption in favour of attempting resuscitation 3. Essential aspects of decision making ... Issues for consideration Introduction Why policies are needed Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be attempted on any person whose cardiac or respiratory functions cease. Failure of these functions is part of dying and thus CPR can theoretically be attempted on every individual prior to death. But because for every person there comes a time when death is inevitable, it is essential to identify patients for whom cardiopulmonary arrest represents a terminal event in their illness and in whom attempted CPR is inappropriate. It is also essential to identify those patients who do not want CPR to be attempted and who competently refuse it.

Corporate Health Programs Blood Borne Pathogens Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Chair Massage First Aid Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Program Benefits Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) saves lives. When a person stops breathing or the heart stops beating, lack of oxygen can cause brain damage or death in as little as 4 to 6 minutes. CPR artificially circulates oxygen to the brain, gaining precious time until professional help can arrive. Over 1.5 million heart attacks occur each year, and approximately 350,000 of these people die before ever reaching a hospital. But heart attacks aren't the only reason to know CPR. Electric shock, choking, severe allergic reactions, drowning and drug overdose are just a few of the other situations that may call for CPR to save a life. The HealthBreak CPR class meets the OSHA requirements for your company's safety team's annual certification in CPR. Program Preview The HealthBreak CPR course is designed to teach the mechanics of stabilizing a victim of cardiac and respiratory arrest or choking. The course offers instructions on basic life support techniques including one-person CPR and opening obstructed airways. Two options are offered: Basic CPR: Teaches one-rescuer resuscitation techniques. Choose Infant (0-1 year), Child (1-8 years) or Adult (8+ years) component. This course is 2 hours.

Pet Links Pet Gallery Pet Classifieds Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Saving a Life by: PetPlace Veterinarians As much as we try to protect our pets, accidents do happen. So, it is important to be as prepared as reasonably possible. One way to be prepared is to know how to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR is an emergency technique used to help someone whose heart and/or breathing has stopped. Although somewhat modified, the same techniques used for people – rescue breathing and chest compressions – can be used to help treat an animal in distress. The first lesson to know about CPR is that it doesn't restart a stopped heart. The purpose of CPR, in both humans and animals, is to keep them alive until the heart begins beating on its own or a cardiac defibrillator can be used. In people, about 15 percent of those getting CPR actually survive. In animals, CPR is frequently unsuccessful, even if performed by a trained veterinarian. Even so, attempting CPR will give your pet a fighting chance CPR should be performed until you have reached a veterinary hospital.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)basic and advanced life supportposes major difficulties in children. Despite the use of CPR, mortality rates for cardiac arrest are 70 to 90% for premature and term newborns and 90 to 97% for infants and children. The mortality rate is almost 50% for respiratory arrest alone. Neurologic outcome is often severely compromised. Table 263-11 Major Contrasts Between Pediatric and Adult CPR Causes of cardiac arrest in newborns and children are highly variable; the most common are motor vehicle accidents, drowning, burns, gunshot wounds, poisoning, smoke inhalation, SIDS, airway obstruction and asphyxiation from foreign bodies, respiratory tract or systemic infections, and congenital heart disease. In adults, the cause is almost always secondary to severe diffuse coronary artery disease, most commonly with superimposed malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmia. In children, hypoxemia and airway difficulties are major precipitants, resulting in bradyarrhythmias and asystole, whereas only 10% of arrhythmias are ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Thus, in children, routine, rapid defibrillation is not ordinarily needed because, unlike in adults, malignant ventricular arrhythmias are an unlikely cause. Weight

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION Technical Bulletin 8_15 A variety of events such as serious illness, trauma, poisoning, severe blood loss or electrocution may cause an animal to stop breathing or go into cardiac arrest. Approximately 10% of animals revived from cardiac arrest exhibit long term survival, and survival is dependent on the initial cause of cardiac arrest and postresuscitation support. Even though this is a low survival rate, remember that all these animals will die without emergency treatment. Even if an animal is still breathing, artificial respiration may be indicated to restore regular breathing. Signs indicating that artificial respiration may be needed are shallow breathing, blue gums, a glazed, staring expression or collapse. If your pet exhibits these symptoms, have a friend call your veterinarian while you initiate emergency treatment. If no pulse is detectable, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be initiated immediately. When in doubt, it is better to administer CPR to a heart that has not actually stopped beating, than to not give CPR to a pet in cardiac arrest. CPR tries to simulate the pumping action of the heart, so that blood is forced out of the heart to the tissues. First, place the animal on its side, preferably on a solid, firm surface. Do not place the animal tilted in a head down position, since this will cause the abdominal organs to fall toward the diaphragm, and decrease the effectiveness of CPR. A sharp thump to the chest may look good in the movies, but rarely will it cause a stopped heart to resume beating, and may actually result in damage to the heart. To initiate CPR, place the heel of one hand just behind the elbow on the side of the chest (where you checked for a pulse), and place your other hand on top of that hand. You should press firmly and quickly down on the chest approximately 60 to 80 times per minute.

Considerations Return to top CPR can be lifesaving, but it is best performed by those who have been trained in an accredited CPR course. The procedures described here are not a substitute for CPR training. Time is very important when dealing with an unconscious person who is not breathing. Permanent brain damage begins after only 4 minutes without oxygen, and death can occur in as little as 4 to 6 minutes later. Causes Return to top Cardio-pulmonary arrest is a combination of two life-threatening conditions: absence of breathing and lack of an effective heartbeat.

Handbook for Mortals : Resuscitation (CPR) Decisions about resuscitation (CPR) When a person's circulation stops, death occurs. If someone's heart stops, he or she will die unless circulation is restarted quickly. Since a person's sudden collapse must be addressed so quickly, many people are trained to make the efforts needed to restart circulation right away. And, usually, treatment is what people in the community would want. However, when you are seriously ill, you may find this procedure, called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to be worthless or even deeply disturbing. While you may be grateful for the time you have, or at least willing to endure whatever time fate hands out, you might well not want someone to disrupt your time of death with a flurry of activity that is doomed to have little effect.

Where you can learn CPR If you would like a FREE CPR Awareness video, which contains demonstrations for Adult, Child and Infant CPR in both English and Spanish, please call the Water Safety Hotline at 602-495-5555. What is CPR? It is the artificial method of circulating blood and oxygen through a body and attempting to keep the brain alive. CPR does work. When initiated within four minutes, the survival rate is 43 percent. When initiated within four to eight minutes, the survival rate is ten percent. Why Learn CPR? One in seven people will have the opportunity to use CPR in their lifetime. More than 650,000 people die annually from heart attack in the United States each year. More than 350,000 die before reaching the hospital. When the brain starts to go four to six minutes without oxygen, brain damage/death begins. On the average, it takes the Phoenix Fire Department about four minutes to respond to the scene of an incident.
