Caring for Cardiac Arrest

• Chain of survival– Recognition and action– CPR– Defibrillation– Advanced care– Post-arrest care

Performing CPR

• Check for responsiveness.

• Call 9-1-1.

• Check for breathing.

• CPR if unresponsive and not breathing– Chest compressions– Rescue breaths

Chest Compressions (1 of 3)

• 2 hands for adults• 1 or 2 hands for a child• 2 fingers for an infant• Compression depth

– Adult and child: 2 inches– Infant: 1½ inches

(1/3 depth of the chest)• Compression rate

– At least 100 per minute– 30 compressions in

18 seconds

Chest Compressions (2 of 3)

• Location– Adult and child: center of chest between nipples

Airway Obstruction

• Mild blockage– Coughing forcefully

• Severe/complete blockage– Weak, ineffective cough – Unable to breathe or speak

• Common causes of obstruction– Tongue, vomit, foreign body, swelling, spasm

Caring for Airway Obstruction (1 of 5)

• Responsive adult or child: Heimlich maneuver– Abdominal thrusts just

above navel– Perform thrusts until object

is removed or victim is unresponsive.

– Chest thrusts for larger or pregnant victims

Caring for Airway Obstruction (2 of 5)

• Responsive infant– Support infant’s head and lay infant’s face

down over your forearm and thigh.– Give 5 back blows.– Roll infant face-up.– Give 5 chest thrusts.

Caring for Airway Obstruction (4 of 5)

• Unresponsive adult or child, if breath fails to go in:– Retilt the head.– Reattempt breath. – Give 30 chest

compressions.– Check airway.– Remove object if visible. © Berta A. Daniels, 2010

Caring for Airway Obstruction (5 of 5)
