CPR +BCLS Flashcards
Compression to breath ratio of CPR on large animal with one person
15 compressions: 2 breaths
Compression to breath ratio of CPR for a smaller animal with a single person
5 compressions: 1 breath
Two person CPR compression to breath ratio
Simultaneous breath and compressions
What theories explain blood flow during CPR
Thoracic pump and cardiac pump
BCLS
Basic cardiac life support
BCLS basic cardiac life support cardiac compressions
100x per min on the widest area of the chest
What can be performed in addition to cardiac compressions during BCLS if you have two people
Abdominal counter pulsation to increase diastolic pressure and cardiac perfusion
When performing BCLS on a patient who is hypovolemic, it is difficult to create flow. What three things should be done ASAP
- Transport ASAP
- Volume replacement
- Open chest
Where does a wound with arterial bleeding need direct pressure
Between the wound and the heart
Where does a wound with venous bleeding need direct pressure
Distal to the wound
