Слайд 3Introduction
Basic Life Support needed for patient whose breathing or heart has
stopped
Ventilations are given to oxygenate blood when breathing is inadequate or has stopped
If heart has stopped, chest compressions are given to circulate blood to vital organs
Ventilation combined with chest compressions is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
CPR is commonly given to patients in cardiac arrest as a result of heart attack
Слайд 4Review of Circulatory System
Circulatory system consists of heart, blood, and blood
vessels.
Слайд 5Cardiovascular System:
Primary Functions
Transports blood to lungs
Delivers carbon dioxide and picks
up oxygen
Transports oxygen and nutrients to all parts of body
Helps regulate body temperature
Helps maintain body’s fluid balance
Слайд 6Anatomy and Physiology of the Heart
Ventricles pump blood through two
loops or cycles in body
Right ventricle pumps blood to lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide
Blood returns to left atrium and then flows into left ventricle
Left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood through arteries to all areas of body
Blood returns through veins to right atrium, to be pumped again to lungs
Within heart, valves prevent back flow of blood so that it moves only in one direction through these cycles
Слайд 7Heart is composed of a unique type of muscle (myocardium) that
contracts to make pumping action.
Heart Muscle
Слайд 8Contractions are controlled by electrical signals under nervous system control
Heart Muscle
Слайд 9Arteries
Arterial blood is oxygenated, bright red, and under pressure
Carotid arteries —
major arteries passing through neck to head
Femoral arteries — major arteries to legs passing through thigh
Brachial arteries — in upper arm
Radial arteries — major artery of lower arm
Arteries are generally deeper in body than veins and more protected
Слайд 10Pulse
When left ventricle contracts, wave of blood is sent through arteries
causing pulsing blood pressure changes in arteries that can be palpated in certain body locations
A pulse can be felt anywhere an artery passes near skin surface and over a bone
Palpate carotid pulse on either side of neck
Слайд 11Pulse continued
Palpate femoral pulse in crease between abdomen and thigh
Palpate radial
pulse on the palm side of wrist proximal to base of thumb
Palpate brachial pulse on the inside of arm between elbow and shoulder
Слайд 12Capillaries
Arteries progressively branch into smaller vessels that eventually reach capillaries
Capillaries are
very small blood vessels connecting arteries with veins throughout body
Capillaries have thin walls through which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with body cells
Слайд 13Veins
From capillaries, blood drains back to heart through extensive system of
veins
Venous blood is dark red, deoxygenated, and under less pressure than arterial blood
Blood flows more evenly through veins, which don’t have a pulse
Veins have valves that prevent blood backflow
Слайд 14Heart Rate
Heart rate, measured as pulse, is affected by many factors
With
exercise, fever, or emotional excitement, heart rate increases to meet body’s greater need for oxygen
Various injuries and illnesses may either increase or decrease heart rate
Слайд 15Circulatory System: Emergencies
Any condition that affects respiration
Reduces ability to deliver oxygen
Severe
bleeding
Shock
Stroke
Reduces blood flow to brain
Heart conditions
Reduce tissue oxygenation
Слайд 16Circulatory System: Emergencies continued
Heart attack
Can lead to cardiac arrest
Ventricular fibrillation
Heart muscle
flutters rather than pumping blood
Слайд 17Cardiac Arrest
Heart may stop (cardiac arrest) as a result of heart
attack
Brain damage begins 4 - 6 minutes after cardiac arrest
Brain damage becomes irreversible in 8 - 10 minutes
Dysrhythmia, an abnormal heartbeat, may also reduce heart’s pumping effectiveness
Слайд 18Causes of cardiac arrest

Слайд 22Diagnosis of cardiac arrest
Symptoms of cardiac arrest
absence of pulse on
carotid arteries – a pathognomonic symptom
respiratory arrest – may be in 30 sec after cardiac arrest
pupil dilation – may be in 90 sec after cardiac arrest
Blood pressure measurement
Taking the pulse on peripheral arteries
Auscultation of cardiac tones
Loss of time !!!
Слайд 23Sequence of operations
Check responsiveness
Call for help
Correctly place the
victim and ensure the open airway
Check the presence of spontaneous respiration
Check pulse
Start external cardiac massage and artificial ventilation
Слайд 24In case of unconsciousness it is necessary to estimate quickly
the
open airway
respiration
hemodynamics
Слайд 25Main stages of resuscitation
C (Circulation) – restore the circulation by external
cardiac massage
A (Airway) – ensure open airway by preventing the falling back of tongue, tracheal intubation if possible
B (Breathing) – start artificial ventilation of lungs
D (Differentiation, Drugs, Defibrilation) – quickly perform differential diagnosis of cardiac arrest, use different medication and electric defibrillation in case of ventricular fibrillation
Слайд 27Open the airway using a head tilt lifting of chin. Do
not tilt the head too far back
Check the pulse on carotid artery using fingers of the other hand
Слайд 28B (Breathing)
Tilt the head back and listen for. If not breathing
normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise.
Слайд 29mouth to mouth or mouth to nose respiration
ventilation by a face
mask and a self-inflating bag with oxygen
2 initial subsequent breaths
wait for the end of expiration
10-12 breaths per minute with a volume of app. 800 ml, each breath should take 1,5-2 seconds
Algorithm for artificial ventilation
Слайд 30C. Circulation
Restore the circulation, that is start external cardiac massage
Слайд 312 mechanisms explaining the restoration of circulation by external cardiac massage
Cardiac
Слайд 32Cardiac pump during the cardiac massage
Blood pumping is assured by the
compression of heart between sternum and spine
Between compressions thoracic cage is expanding and heart is filled with blood
Слайд 33Thoracic pump at the cardiac massage
Blood circulation is restored due to
the change in intra thoracic pressure and jugular and subclavian vein valves
During the chest compression blood is directed from the pulmonary circulation to the systemic circulation. Cardiac valves function as in normal cardiac cycle.
Слайд 34ALGORITHM of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Call First
If alone with adult victim
Any victim
of any age seen to collapse suddenly
Call Fast
If alone with child victim
Unresponsive victim in cardiac arrest because of respiratory arrest
Слайд 39Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
CPR helps keep patient alive by circulating some oxygenated
blood to vital organs
Ventilations move oxygen into lungs where it is picked up by blood
Compressions on sternum increase pressure inside chest, moving some blood to brain/other tissues
Слайд 40CPR continued
Blood circulation resulting from chest compressions not as strong as
circulation from heartbeat
Can help keep brain/other tissues alive until normal heart rhythm restored
Слайд 41CPR continued
Often electric shock from AED is needed to restore a
heartbeat—and CPR can keep patient viable until then
CPR effective only for a short time
CPR should be started as soon as possible
In some instances, the heart may start again spontaneously with CPR
Слайд 42CPR Saves Lives
CPR and defibrillation within 3-5 minutes can save over
50% of cardiac arrest victims
CPR followed by AED saves thousands of lives each year
In most cases CPR helps keep victim alive until EMS or AED arrives
Слайд 43General Technique of CPR
If unresponsive, not breathing, and no pulse,
start chest compressions
Find the correct hand position
Two hands for adults
One or 2 hands for child
Two fingers for infant
Слайд 44General Technique of CPR continued
Compress chest hard and fast at a
rate of 100 compressions/minute
Adult = 4-5 santimeters deep
Infant/child = 1/3 to 1/2 chest depth
Release completely between compressions
Слайд 45General Technique of CPR continued
If alone, alternate 30 chest compressions and
2 ventilations for any age patient
In two-rescuer CPR for infant/child, alternate 15 compressions and 2 ventilations
Chest-encircling method in infant
Give each ventilation over 1 second
Follow local protocol regarding oxygen
Слайд 46Single-Rescuer CPR
Check patient’s responsiveness,
open airway,
and determine that patient is
not breathing adequately
2. Give 2 ventilations, each lasting 1 second
3. Determine victim has no pulse
Слайд 47 Single-Rescuer CPR
2. Give 2 ventilations, each lasting 1 second
3. Determine victim
has no pulse
Слайд 48
Put hand(s) in correct position for chest compressions
Слайд 49
Give 30 chest compressions at rate of 100 per
minute
Then give 2 ventilations
Слайд 50Continue CPR until:
Patient begins to move
AED brought to scene and ready
to use
Professional help arrives to take over
You are too exhausted to continue
Слайд 51If patient starts moving, check for adequate breathing
If patient is breathing
adequately, put patient in recovery position and monitor breathing
When AED arrives, start AED sequence
Слайд 52Chest Compressions Alert
Be careful with your hand position
For adults/children, keep your
fingers off patient’s chest
Do not give compressions over bottom tip of breastbone
Слайд 53Chest Compressions Alert
When compressing, keep elbows straight and hands in contact
with patient’s chest at all times
Слайд 54Chest Compressions Alert
Compress chest hard and fast, but let chest recoil
completely between compressions.
Minimize amount of time used giving ventilations between sets of compressions.
Слайд 55Problems with CPR Technique
CPR often ineffective because of poor technique
Compressions not
delivered steadily and constantly during resuscitation efforts
Often compressions are too shallow, resulting in ineffective blood flow
Compressions may be given at too fast a rate
Only good-quality CPR improves chances of survival
Слайд 56Chest Compressions: Bradycardia in Child
Infant or child being given rescue breaths
or oxygen may have a pulse but still inadequate perfusion
If pulse < 60 beats/minute and infant or child has signs of poor perfusion, provide CPR
Слайд 57Skill:
CPR For Adult
or Child
(Two Rescuers)
Слайд 58Two-Rescuer CPR for Adults and Children
Minimizes time between rescue breaths and
compressions
CPR becomes more effective
Can more quickly set up AED
Reduces rescuer fatigue
Слайд 59Two-Rescuer CPR
Performed in cycles of 30:2 for adult (15:2 for infant
or child)
One rescuer provides breaths, second rescuer gives chest compressions
Rescuers switch positions every 2 minutes
Change done after full CPR cycle
Accomplish change in < 5 seconds
Слайд 60Two-Rescuer CPR continued
If AED present, one rescuer gives CPR while the
other sets up unit
If unit advises CPR, rescuers give CPR together
Third rescuer can apply cricoid pressure
Слайд 61Two-Rescuer CPR continued
If you are assisting another trained rescuer who places
an advanced airway:
Chest compressions given continually
No pauses for ventilations
Give ventilations at rate of 8 – 10 breaths/ minute
Слайд 62Transitioning from One-Rescuer CPR to Two-Rescuer CPR
Second rescuer moves into position
on other side to prepare to take over chest compressions
First rescuer completes a cycle of compressions and ventilations
While first rescuer pauses to check for a pulse, second rescuer finds correct hand position for compressions
Слайд 63Transitioning from One-Rescuer CPR to Two-Rescuer CPR
When first rescuer says, “No
pulse, continue CPR,”
second rescuer begins chest compressions and first rescuer then gives only ventilations
Слайд 64Differences in Two-Rescuer Training
If First Responder started CPR, arriving second rescuer
may have a higher level of training
Rescuer with greater training determines how CPR should best be continued
Слайд 65 Rescuer 1 checks ABCs. Rescuer 2 locates site for
chest compressions.
Слайд 66 If no pulse, rescuer 2 gives 30 compressions for
adult (15 for child) at rate of 100/minute.
Слайд 68 Continue cycles of 30:2 for adults (15:2 for child).
After 5 cycles (~ 2 minutes) switch positions.
Слайд 69Adult or Child Two-Rescuer CPR Continued
Continue CPR until:
Patient moves
AED brought to
scene and ready to use
Advanced help arrives and takes over
If patient starts breathing and has pulse, put in recovery position and monitor ABCs
If AED brought to scene, start AED sequence
Слайд 70Uses different hand position
Place thumbs of both hands on sternum while
fingers encircle chest
Compress breastbone with both thumbs while squeezing chest with fingers
Same rate and depth as usual
Two-Rescuer CPR: Infants
Слайд 72 Rescuer 1 checks ABCs. Rescuer 2 locates site for
chest compressions.
Слайд 73If no pulse, rescuer 2 gives 15 chest compressions.
Слайд 75Infant Two-Rescuer CPR Continued
Continue cycles of 15:2 for ~ 2
minutes then switch roles
Continue CPR until:
Infant moves
Advanced help arrives and takes over
If infant starts breathing, hold in recovery position and monitor ABCs
Слайд 76When Not to Perform CPR
Presence of a Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) order
Patient
obviously dead (decapitation; incineration; or clear signs of prolonged death, such as rigor mortis and dependent lividity)
Not safe to be on the scene and the patient cannot be moved somewhere safe
A physician pronounces the patient dead
Слайд 77Drugs used in CPR
Atropine – can be injected bolus, max 3
mg to block vagal tone, which plays significant role in some cases of cardiac arrest
Adrenaline – large doses have been withdrawn from the algorithm. The recommended dose is 1 mg in each 3-5 min.
Vasopresine – in some cases 40 U can replace adrenaline
Amiodarone - should be included in algorithm
Lidocaine – should be used only in ventricular fibrillation
