Q

When Not to Start CPR (5)

A

All victims of cardiac arrest should receive CPR
unless:
• Patient has a valid DNAR (Do Not Attempt
Resuscitation) order.
• Patient has signs of irreversible death
(Rigor Mortis, Decapitation, Dependent
Lividity).
• No physiological benefit can be expected
because the vital functions have deteriorated as in septic or cardiogenic
shock.
• Confirmed gestation of < 23 weeks or birth
weight < 400 grams, anencephaly.
• Attempts to perform CPR would place the
rescuer at risk of physical injury

Q

When To Stop CPR? (6)

A

• Spontaneous signs of circulation are
restored
• Turned over to medical services or properly
trained and authorized personnel
• Operator is already exhausted and cannot
continue CPR
• Physician assumes responsibility (declares
death, takes over, etc.)
• Scene becomes unsafe (such as traffic,
impending or ongoing violence-gun fires,
etc.)
• Signed waiver to stop CPR

A

Achieving Return of Spontaneous
Circulation (ROSC)

23
Q

Factors that Improve the Efficacy of Chest
Compressions

A

❖ Adequate Depth
❖ Complete Recoil
❖ Firm Surface
❖ Minimal Interruptions

24
Q

Position of the Victim
- Place the victim faceup on a firm,
flat surface like the _ or
_.

A

floor
backboard

25
Q

Position of the Victim
- On softer surfaces like _,
chest compressions force the
victim’s body to sink in, reducing
effectiveness.

A

mattresses

26
Q

Compression to Ventilation Ratio

A

30:2

27
Q

Compression Rate

A

100-120 per minute

28
Q

Compression Depth

A

Atleast 2 inches (5 cm) but should not exceed 2.4 inches (6 cm)

29
Q

Chest Recoil
- Ensure _ chest
reexpansion after each
compression to _ blood
flow.

A

complete
maximize

30
Q

Chest Recoil
- Avoid _ & maintain equal
times for compression and recoil.

A

leaning

31
Q

Minimizing Interruptions
- Aim for a _ of 80% for best
outcomes.

A

Chest Compression
Fraction (CCF)

32
Q

Minimizing Interruptions
- Only move victims if there’s a _ or _

A

direct threat
CPR inefficacy

33
Q

involves techniques
and interventions designed to ensure an
unobstructed pathway for air to enter the
lungs

A

Airway management

34
Q

This process is crucial to facilitate spontaneous
breathing or the delivery of mouth-to-mouth
breaths during CPR.

A

Airway Opening

35
Q

Airway Opening Maneuvers (2)

A

Head-Tilt/Chin-Lift Maneuver
Jaw-Thrust Maneuver

36
Q

Airway Opening Maneuvers
- “Place one of your hands on the patient’s
forehead, and place the other hand
beneath the chin, just under the bony part
of the jaw

A

Head-Tilt/Chin-Lift Maneuver

37
Q

Airway Opening Maneuvers
- With the first hand, tilt the patient’s head
backward.
• Simultaneously, lift the lower jaw and draw
the chin forward with the other hand.

A

Head-Tilt/Chin-Lift Maneuver

38
Q

Airway Opening Maneuvers
- Ensure that you do not press too hard on
the chin soft tissues; this might reflexively
block the airway

A

Head-Tilt/Chin-Lift Maneuver

39
Q

Airway Opening Maneuvers
- This maneuver is preferred when the
patient has a suspected head or neck
injury. It avoids disturbing the cervical spine
region.

A

Jaw-Thrust Maneuver

40
Q

Airway Opening Maneuvers
- To perform this maneuver, position yourself
behind the patient.
• Rest your elbows on the firm surface on
either side of the patient’s head.
• Position your fingers under the patient’s
lower jaw, just behind the angle of the jaw.
• Lift the jaw manually with both hands to
thrust the jaw forward.

A

Jaw-Thrust Maneuver

41
Q

Delivering breaths to a person who is not
breathing or breathing inadequately, either
through mouth-to-mouth or using devices.

A

Breathing

42
Q

Supplies the lungs with oxygen, which,
when combined with chest compressions,
ensures oxygenated blood reaches vital
organs.

A

Breathing

43
Q

When to give rescue breaths (2)

A

• When the patient is unresponsive, has a
pulse, and is either gasping ineffectively or
not breathing.
• When two rescuers are available on the
scene immediately after cardiac arrest.
One rescuer can focus on chest
compressions while the other carries out
rescue breathing.

44
Q

- This flat, plastic sheet can be placed over
the patient’s mouth and nose.

A

Face Shield

46
Q

Devices Used in Giving Rescue Breaths
- It usually has a hole in the center through
which air can be blown.

A

Face Shield

47
Q

Devices Used in Giving Rescue Breaths
- The hole is fitted with a one-way valve or
filter to prevent the backflow of air and fluid.

A

Face Shield

48
Q

Devices Used in Giving Rescue Breaths
- Healthcare professionals and emergency
responders usually use this.

A

Pocket Masks

49
Q

Devices Used in Giving Rescue Breaths

directly over the patient’s nose and mouth
to achieve a tight seal.

A

Pocket Masks

50
Q

Devices Used in Giving Rescue Breaths
- is a device that delivers
air under positive pressure into the lungs

A

Bag Valve Mask

51
Q

Devices Used in Giving Rescue Breaths
- The bag-mask device delivers 21% oxygen
(typical room air level), superior to the 17%
in exhaled air.

A

Bag Valve Mask

52
Q

Devices Used in Giving Rescue Breaths
- It can also be connected to an oxygen
supply, delivering a higher percentage of
