...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...

...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.

...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...

...Imagine that you are sitting in a restaurant looking over the menu. You are trying to decide what to order when suddenly, someone is yelling for help. You rush over to the nearby table and notice that a woman has gone into cardiac arrest. You immediately begin the steps of CPR until further help arrives. This scenario could happen anywhere and you will want to be prepared. Basic knowledge of CPR, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, is a vital skill everyone should possess in order to save lives. The first step in CPR is to check the scene around the victim. You will need to make sure the surrounding area is safe enough to perform CPR. Things that you should check for include: water spills, loose wires, sharp objects, and even other people. As...

...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...

...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.

...Identifying Training Needs The purpose of my training session was to give delegates a guidance of the skills and knowledge to understand Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should it ever be required in an emergency situation. I felt that the simple knowledge of basic CPR is important for all to know for personal reasons. Training needs are identified in numerous ways. It maybe that an employee would be required to do a full first aid at work course within their working environment under Health & Safety legislation or just the companies preference to increase their provision. It maybe required under their occupation e.g. working with children that they are required to hold this qualification. The individual may simply have the desire or feel they lack the knowledge and skills should they ever be required. An individual may simply by deemed the best person to have first aid qualification because the come in to contact with many members of the public. As such one never knows when an emergency situation could arise and there might only you in the vicinity. Training Objectives My main aim for my course was to make this a realistic fun and interactive course but not to forget the seriousness of how important it is for everyone to know basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. By making the course fun and interactive I hoped this would make everyone be able to remember the training...

...sure the area is safe you must call for help. Call other workers to the scene and call 999 immediately so that a professional can reach you as soon as possible. The worker should be first aid trained and therefore should know how to perform CPR. Even if you haven’t been trained in CPR with rescue breathing, you can still use hands-only CPR. You must maintain a patient's dignity at all times. Block off the area and get anyone out of the room that does not need to be there. Although the client may not be conscious you should take their personal needs and wishes into consideration. They may be embarrassed by the incident and may not want others to see them. Before you begin CPR you should tilt the patient's head back so that the airways are clear and take their pulse to check if they are breathing. In this case, the patient is not breathing. Firstly, you should perform chest compressions. This will pump the heart by external cardiac massage to keep the circulation going until the ambulance arrives. To do this you must place the heel of your hand on the centre of your client’s chest, and then place the other hand on top and press down by 5-6cm. You should be doing this at a rate of around 100 compressions per minute. After 30 chest compressions you can perform 2 rescue breaths. Rescue breaths will inflate the lungs by using mouth to mouth resuscitation. To do this you tilt the casualty’s head and lift the...

...Where & When is the Line Drawn for Ethics? Assess the situation Most nurses will perform their jobs without any problems ever arising due to ethic situations. As time changes though, so do the thoughts and perspectives of nurses and bystanders. Situations arise and their eyes are opened to see things outside of the box. This paper will discuss four different situations that have happened in the past couple of years, involving different aspects of nursing, all in which have received a lot of controversy. So what is the big question; where and when does the line of ethics get drawn? Situation One: Do nurses have the right to refuse CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a person? In California an elderly woman died because a “nurse” refused to do CPR on her (Wozniacka, 2013). The family of the woman that died agrees that the nurse was in the right even though the woman passed away. This woman lived in a non-assisted living home and fell to the floor in the dining hall. According to the family this woman knew this and she still wanted to live there. She did not have an order for DNR (do not resuscitate), but knew that if something were to happen then she would not have help until someone called 911 and the first responders arrive. Well someone did call 911 and the unit coordinator...

...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...

...Medical Law Instructor: Eugene Elliott March 4, 2014 Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders are medical directives to withhold efforts to revive a patient who has a cardiac or respiratory arrest (Lee, M. B., M.D. 2012). DNR laws started in the late 70s because of the extensive practice of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). An unending discussion about DNR has involved the level to which patients or their surrogate have to make the decision to agree to such orders. Throughout the late 70’s and early 80s, a lot hospitals normally made DNR orders that did not including an discussion with the patient or the patient's family. Also, a lot hospitals did not clearly document the DNR order in the patient's chart. This practices were forsaken as the bioethics drive and the courts stressed the right of patients or their surrogate decision makers to decline medical treatment. This also including life insufficient treatment for example CPR. Most of health care providers, health professional groups and indorsing bodies started to support DNR policies. The DNR policies require that the patient be informed of the risks and benefits of CPR and to give consent that CPR not be used. (Lee, M. B., M.D. 2012) DNR is reflect one of the ethical dilemma in current society that came from medical development, ethical dilemmas arise in the area of health care when health care providers is in a position to choose between two or more harmful option, and a lot of time the physician are forced...
