Q

True or False - early recognition and CPR are crucial for survival from cardiac arrest

A

True

17
Q

Name the 2 distinct adult Chains of Survival which affect the setting as well as the availability of rescuers and resources.

A
  1. In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA)

2 Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)

18
Q

Links in the Chain of Survival for IHCA

A
  1. Surveillance, prevention, and tx of prearrest conditions.
  2. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest
    and activation of emergency resonse system
  3. CPR, emphasisis on chest compressions
  4. Rapid defib
  5. Multidiscipliary post-cardiac arrest care (cath lab)
19
Q

Links in the Chain of Survival for OHCA

A
  1. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of emergency response system
  2. Early CPR, emphasis on chest compression
  3. Rapid defib with AED
  4. ALS including rapid stabilization and transport to post-cardiac arrest care
  5. Multidisciplinary post-cardiac arrest care
20
Q

Cardiac Arrest vs Heart Attack

A

Cardiac Arrest abnormal rhythm, no pump blood

Heart Attack involves a clot and blocked blood flow

21
Q

What added link is in the Pediatric Chain of Survival?

A

2ndary to resp failure and shock, a Prevention Link is added in Pediatric Chain of Survival

  1. Prevention of arrest
  2. Early bystander CPR
  3. Rapid activation Emer Response
  4. Advanced life support, stabilize and transport
  5. Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
22
Q

How many out-of-hospital cardiac arrests/yr in the US?

A

360,000, most occur at home
