...AH 210 Hands Only CPR September 30, 2013 Several Americans won’t do CPR because they don’t know how or they are afraid of hurting someone. Hands only CPR could give them the courage to help the injured person. Using hands only CPR would be as effective as conventional CPR for sudden cardiac arrest at home, in public or at work. It can double or maybe triple a person’s chance of survival. There are only two steps to using hands only CPR. Call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest. It is very important that you first call 911 so emergency medical personal can reach the injured person and then continue chest compressions. All of the videos showed how to perform hands on CPR clearly. Hands only CPR is different than conventional CPR in that hands only CPR only have two step. Conventional CPR you check for a pulse, call 911, give two breaths, use 30 compressions and then give another two breaths and so on until emergency personal arrive. I believe it would be very effective and would use it if I had too. All the videos were good, educational and funny. Ken Jeong is a funny person and doing the chest compression to the beat of Staying Alive is also a good idea. I liked the Undeading video the most. I usually don’t like to watch scary movies but this was alright. Heart and stroke fdn has a great imagination and I will try to find more of the work. I would have never thought of using zombie’s to promote CPR. If I were in Walmart and someone...

...CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION * Collapses * Becomes unresponsive 1. Check Responsiveness * Tap the person's shoulder and shout, "Are you OK?" * Look for normal breathing. Call 911 if there is no response. * Start Hands-Only CPR. * Hands-Only CPR should not be used for adults whose cardiac arrest is due to drug overdose, near-drowning, or an unwitnessed cardiac arrest. In these cases, do a conventional CPR combination of chest compressions and rescue breathing. 2. Do Chest Compressions * Place the heel of your hand on the center of the person's chest. * Place the heel of your other hand on top of your first hand, lacing fingers together. * Keep arms straight and your shoulders directly over your hands. * Push hard and fast, compressing chest at least 2 inches. * Let chest rise completely before pushing down again. * Compress at least 100 times per minute. 3. Stop Only if: * The person starts breathing normally * A trained responder or emergency help takes over * You are too exhausted to continue * There is an automated external defibrillator (AED) to use 4. Use an AED as Soon as One Is Available * Turn on the AED. It will give you step-by-step instructions. * Wipe chest dry. * Attach the pads. * Plug in connector, if needed. * Make sure no one is touching the person. Say "Clear" so that people know to stay back and not touch the person. * Push the "Analyze" button if necessary. * If...

...What is CPR? CPR stands for CardioPulmonary Resuscitation i.e. to help restart the heart (pulse) and lungs (breathing). When do we perform CPR? CPR is performed when a person stops breathing and/or the heart stops. Why is it important to learn CPR? Every year about 350,000 people suffer cardiac arrest i.e. their heart stops. Sudden cardiac death is the most common cause of death in United States and Canada. If you know how to perform CPR you may be able to save a life. Why timing is important? When the heart (pulse) and lung (breathing) stops, the victim has 5 minutes before (gradual) brain death starts to occur, if no CPR is performed. Therefore, it is very important to start CPR as soon as possible. What is Hands-only CPR? Any bystander who is not trained in CPR can perform this type of CPR to try to save a life. Hand-only CPR is better than no CPR. If you witnessed an adult or a child/infant who suddenly collapses then: 1. Call EMS / 911 2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest | | Anatomy of Heart and Lungs 1. Heart The heart beats continuously to pump blood to all parts of the body. It has four chambers: Right and left atrium and ventricles. Blood flows from the right side of the heart to the left side. The heart is connected to blood vessels (arteries and veins) which combined make up the circulatory system. 2. Lungs Each person has two lungs underneath the ribcage: One on the left side and the one on the right. Its main function...

...CPR Alternate Assessment Can you save a life? In an emergency, when every second is critical, would you know what to do? According to recent statistics sudden cardiac arrest is rapidly becoming the leading cause of death in America. Once the heart ceases to function, a healthy human brain may survive without oxygen for up to 4 minutes without suffering any permanent damage. Unfortunately, a typical EMS response may take 6, 8 or even 10 minutes. Performing CPR dramatically increases the survival chance while a person awaits the arrival of EMS. CPR helps keep blood flow to the brain and heart and can be the crucial action that keeps a person alive. The skills needed to perform CPR can be learned by everyone.

...in these cardiac emergencies are key to favorable post-emergency outcomes. Out-of-hospital cardiac emergencies historically have been associated with poor post emergency health outcomes (Nichol & Kim, 2015). Initiation of the chain of survival, activation of the EMS system, use of an automated cardiac defibrillator (AED), and CPR all have been shown to improve patient outcomes (Drager, 2012; Vadeboncoeur, Richman, Darkoh, Chikani, Clark, & Bobrow, 2008). Many cardiac emergency victims look to be in...

...Roughly 70% of Americans do not know how to administer Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), or have not kept up on the required training. 326,000 people in the United States are hospitalized due to SCA. In order to gain a better understanding of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation one must know where it originated. The ten year period from 1950-1960 was a decade of improvement for resuscitation measures. Peter Safar, James Elam, and The United States Military were all contributors to the development of all forms of resuscitative revival. Elam and Safar were the first people to discover mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Soon after CPR was developed. Over the last few...

...non-profit, or governmental in nature can become more efficient and learn from trending information as well as refine their tools to understand metrics. However, it is important to understand that some metrics may not be the only information necessary; otherwise an analysis will only have the factors of trends and not understand the needs to work towards organizational and functional goals. Performance management and measurements go hand-in-hand but understanding the whole picture of how to improve requires an understanding of what each does for decision makers. Part One – New York City’s Citywide Performance Reporting Online System Dashboard With the transition of mayoral officials comes a new and different perspective on how to address governmental management. In the case of New York City mayor Bloomberg decided his understanding of financial business practices had vital applications to his new responsibilities. One of his initiatives was to create the Citywide Performance Reporting (CPR) online system to assist in the annual evaluation of city agencies which created over 1,000 key performance indicators (KPI). These KPIs measured everything from school grades to road maintenance and anything in-between (Turban, Sharda, & Delen, 2011). Major components of CPR were categorized into three areas. First was performance management application; the backend computing power which provided access for agencies to input data in one location. Second was the analytics tool and dashboard...

To extent does it different proportionality a. under the EHCR (Campbell case) to assess different right sets of rights b. after the Jackson reforms? Jackson is just in relation to costs – cases that are justly and in relation to proportional costs focus on the system as a whole Campbell v Mirror Group Newspaper Ltd (Costs) HL (2005) A model sues a newspaper for breach of confidence. The case go through HC and CA. On appeal to HL, Campbell solicitors and barristers work on a CFA basis (95% success fee for solicitors, 100% success fee for barristers. She wins case (3,5000 compensation awarded) + costs (1, 086, 295 inc. success fee of 279, 981) The claimant appealed against the denial of her claim that the defendant had infringed her right to respect for her private life. She was a model who had proclaimed publicly that she did not take drugs, but the defendant had published a story showing a picture of her leaving a drug addiction clinic, along with details of her addictions and the treament she had received. Held: The law of confidence is now better characterised as misuse of private information. “The need to be free to disseminate information regarding Miss Campbell’s drug addiction is of a lower order than the need for freedom to disseminate information on some other subjects such as political information.

...development models have dominated the business world for a considerable period of time namely Total Quality Management (TQM) and Core Process Re-engineering (CPR). TQM and CPR share a cross-functional relationship. Quality specialists tend to focus on incremental change and gradual improvement of processes, while proponents of re-engineering often seek radical redesign and drastic improvement of processes. Quality management often referred to as TQM or continuous improvement, means programs and initiatives, which emphasize incremental improvement in work processes, and outputs over an open-ended period of time. In contrast, reengineering, also known as business process redesign or process innovation, refers to prudent initiatives intended to achieve radically redesigned and improved work processes in a specific time frame. In contrast to continuous improvement, CPR relies on a different school of thought. The extreme difference between continuous process improvement and core process reengineering lies in where the start from and also the magnitude and rate of resulting changes. In course of time, many derivatives of radical, breakthrough improvement and continuous improvement have emerged to address the difficulties of implementing major changes in corporations. Core Process Reengineering Core Process Reengineering (CPR) has been receiving attention from industries as well as the academic community, because it is likely to change...

...1. Define first aid First aid is the provision of immediate care to a victim with an injury or illness, usually effected by a lay person, and performed within a limited skill range. First aid is normally performed until the injury or illness is satisfactorily dealt with (such as in the case of small cuts, minor bruises, and blisters) or until the next level of care, such as a paramedic or doctor, arrives. 2. State the purpose of first aid a) Preserve life - This includes the life of the casualty, bystander and rescuer. b) Protect the casualty from further harm - Ensure the scene is safe. c) Provide pain relief - This could include the use of ice packs or simply applying a sling. d) Prevent the injury or illness from becoming worse - Ensure that the treatment you provide does not make the condition worse. e) Provide reassurance 3. Principles of first aid a. Explain Identification First aid is the initial assistance or care of a suddenly sick or injured person. It is the vital initial care we all feel an impulse to give as soon as possible after an accident or illness. In an emergency situation it is crucial to be able to recognise the appointed first aider. We have a range of first aider identifications such as hivis waistcoats, armbands, badges and helmet labels. First aid is an important part of everyday life, both at home, work or at play. Everyone should learn first aid and be willing to administer basic care until emergency assistance...
