Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (C.P.R)
RESUSCITATION
(C.P.R)
Definition
Is a technique to temporarily circulate blood through the body of a person whose heart
has stopped
It involves assessing the airway,if necessary breathing for the person,determining the
presence of foreign body and if necessary applying pressure to the chest to circulate
blood
Emergency situation
Cardiac arrest
Myocardial infarction
Stroke
Obstruction due to foreign body
Indication
Cardiac arrest
-Ventricular fibrillation
-Ventricular tachycardia
-Asystole
-Pulseless electrical activity
Respiratory arrest
-Drowning
-Stroke
-Foreign body airway obstruction
-Smoke inhalation
-Drug overdose
-Injury by lightening
-Suffocation
-Accident injury
-Epiglottitis
C.P.R
1
Combines rescue breathing andchest compression
Review heart (cardio) and lung (pulmonary)
Use when there is no breathing and no pulse
Effectiveness
Safety first
Ensure surrounding does not pose a threat to rescuer and victim
Find out the level of consciousness
Try to elicit a response from the victim
2
Basic life support airway
We inhale oxygen
Lung comsumption : 5%
3
Continue C.P.R until
Victim revives
Trained help arrives
Replaced by another rescuer
Too exhausted to continue
Physician order (do not resuscitate orders)
Cardiopulmonary arrest longer than 30 minutes
Scene become unsafe
Delay in starting
Terminal disease or unmanageable disease (massive heart attack)
Inproper procedures (e.g forget to pinch nose)
No ACLS follow up and delay in defibrillation
-Only 15% who receive C.P.R live to go home
-Improper technique
C.P.R complication
Seizures
Hypoxic encephalopathy
Severe hypothermia
Arrhythmia
Bruising/burns from defibrillator paddles
Internal injuries to liver,spleen
Aspiration pneumonia
Fracture ribs
Myocardial rupture
