High Quality CPR Characteristics
|
(1) START COMPRESSIONS w/n 10sec. of CA recognition
(2) PUSH HARD, PUSH FAST: Rate of@least 100/min DEPTH@LEAST 2in ADULTS, APPROX. 2in CHILDREN, APPROX.1.5 in. INFANTS (3) ALLOW COMPLETE CHEST RECOIL after each compression (4) MINIMIZE INTERRUPTIONS of compressions<10 sec. (5) GIVE EFFECTIVE BREATHS making the chest rise/fall (6) AVOID EXCESSIVE ventilation |
|
|
Elements of the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Systems
CHAIN OF SURVIVAL (ADULT) |
(1) Immediate CA RECOGNITION&ACTIVATION of ERS
(2) Early CPR w/emphasis on chest compressions (3) Rapid DEFIBRILLATION (4) Effective ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT (5) Integrated POST-CA CARE *If several rescuers present execute multiple steps simultaneously |

Elements of the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Systems
CHAIN OF SURVIVAL (PEDIATRIC) |
(1) PREVENTION of arrest
(2) EARLY high quality BYSTANDER CPR (3) Rapid ACTIVATION of the EMS system (4) Effective ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT (rapid stabilization, transport to definitive care, rehabilitation) (5) Integrated POST CARDIAC ARREST CARE |

NEW SEQUENCE
C A B |
C - CHEST COMPRESSIONS
A - AIRWAY B - BREATHING *Enables earlier chest compressions, minimal breath delay (18 sec. or less, time for 30 compressions) |
|
|
CHECK VICTIM FOR 2 THINGS
|
RESPONSE
BREATHING ... if NOT PRESENT ... Activate Early Response System (ERS) Begin CPR with the CAB system After each compression set, OPEN airway, GIVE 2 breaths |
|
|
TAKE PULSE
|
ONLY ATTEMPT TO FIND PULSE FOR 10 SECONDS THEN IMMEDIATELY BEGIN CAB
|
|
|
Using DEFIBRILLATORS on INFANTS or PEDIATRICS
|
(1) Use MANUAL DEFIBRILLATOR versus an AED
(2) If NO manual defibrillator, use AED w/Pediatric Dose (3) If NEITHER available, use AED w/o Pediatric Dose |
