5 Respiratory Distress - Adult Unresponsive Patient Monitoring (blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry, respiratory rate) ongoing throughout evaluation and management. All initial actions are performed simultaneously after verification of unresponsiveness by stimulating the patient including head tilt and jaw lift. Reversal agents (naloxone and flumazenil) may be administered at any time. Unresponsive - Breathing Normally Clinical Condition Respiratory rate >0 and Oxygen saturation > 95% Unresponsive - Respiratory Depression Clinical Condition Respiratory rate <0 and/or Oxygen saturation <95% Apnea with Carotid Pulse Clinical Condition Respiratory rate 0 Verify unresponsiveness. Consider EMS call. Call for emergency equipment. Monitor patient. Open the airway with head tilt, chin lift, and jaw thrust. Ammonia vaporole respiratory stimulant (optional). Supplemental oxygen with Non-rebreathing face mask 5 L/minute or Nasal cannula/nasal hood 4 L/minute. Raise the legs. 3 Reversal agent(s) if indicated. Raise legs with BP drop. 4 Respiratory deterioration. Continue to Ventilation Management. (see bottom box below) Verify unresponsiveness and respiratory depression. Consider EMS call. Call for emergency equipment. Monitor patient. Continue to Ventilation Management. (see bottom box below) 3 Reversal agent(s) if indicated. Raise legs with BP drop. Action Action Action Verify unresponsiveness and not breathing. Consider EMS call. Call for emergency equipment. Monitor patient. Verify not breathing. Check Pulse oximeter (BP >80 systolic) and/or Carotid pulse present (BP >60 systolic) indicates chest compressions not needed. 3 Continue to Ventilation Management. (see bottom box below) 4 Reversal agent(s) if indicated. Raise legs with BP drop. Apnea without Carotid Pulse - see Cardiac Emergency Management Ventilation Management - Apnea / Hypoventilation / Obstruction Open the airway with head tilt, chin lift, and jaw thrust. Consider oral or nasal airway if apneic. 3 Bag Mask ventilation - two person preferred. One breath every 6 seconds, breath volume ml, pressure <0 cm. Oxygen flow 5 L/minute. 4 Confirm chest rise with each breath. 5 Consider advanced airway. Intubation or LMA/supraglottic airway with gastric venting capacity if unable to ventilate with bag mask easily or pressure > 0 cm. 6 Confirm advanced airway placement with chest rise, stethoscope, and end-tidal CO. 7 If no chest rise seen, evaluate for foreign body, larynospasm, bronchospasm, or chest wall rigidity.

6 Cardiac Emergency Management - Adult BLS / ACLS Ten Minutes Saves A Life! Responsive with Chest Pain: ACS Diagnosis Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) symptoms: Chest, arm, or face discomfort / pressure Diaphoresis Syncope Hemodynamic instability Unresponsive with Apnea and Carotid Pulse Absent Apnea No pulse oximeter reading 3 Assistance and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) called. Call for emergency equipment. Monitor patient Supplemental oxygen: Face mask non-rebreathing 5 L/min or Nasal cannula/nasal hood 4 L/min. Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg tablet sublingual or metered spray dose if blood pressure >90 systolic and heart rate > 50. Aspirin 35 mg tablet or 8 mg x 4 tablets chew and swallow. Repeat nitroglycerin 0.4 mg in 5 minutes if pain persists, blood pressure >90 systolic and HR >50. Assistance and EMS called. Call for emergency equipment. Begin chest compression at 00/minute for 30 compressions. Turn on AED and follow directions. Insert oral airway and deliver bag-mask ventilations at the end of each 30 chest compression cycle. 3 4 Advanced Airway placement as soon as possible. Continue with 30 chest compressions and bag mask ventilations or with LMA continuous compressions and ventilations until AED sys to stop to analyze rythm. AED will indicate either shock recommended (V-fib or pulseless V-tach) or no shock recommended (PEA/Asystole) - see below. Optimizing CPR AED minute timer is activated once unit is turned on. Practitioner should check carotid pulse at end of each minute interval of chest compressions while AED is analyzing ECG rhythm. With bag-mask ventilation the minute interval of chest compressions to ventilations at a ratio of 30- for 5 cycles provides 50 chest compressions and 0 ventilations. Additionally, the coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures drop with each pause and require ~ 3 compressions to peak again. With placement of an LMA/advanced airway, compressions and ventilations are continuous resulting in 00 compressions and 0 ventilations for the minute interval. Additionally, the coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures are maintained throughout the minute interval. Chest compressions are optimized at a depth of at least inches / 50 mm and a rate of 00/minute. Good chest recoil is necessary to fill the heart. Change the individual performing chest compressions at the end of each minute interval. Monitor End-tidal CO when using LMA. Ideal >0 AED Indicates Shock AED charges and practitioner clears and defibrillates #. Resume CPR for minutes per AED timer. 3 Two minute interval complete. AED analyzes ECG rhythm and carotid pulse absent. AED indicates shock. 4 AED charges and practitioner clears and defibrillates #. 5 Resume CPR and administer epinephrine mg in prefilled syringe :0,000 0 ml IV followed by flush. 6 Two minute interval complete. AED analyzes ECG rhythm and caroitid pulse absent. 7 AED charges and practitioner clears and defibrillates #3. 8 Resume CPR and administer amiodarone 300 mg/iv followed by flush. 9 Two minute interval complete. AED analyzes ECG rhythm and carotid pulse absent. AED indicates shock. 0 AED charges and practitioner clears and defibrillates #4. Resume CPR and administer epinephrine mg in prefilled syringe :0,000 0 ml IV followed by flush. CPR continues at minute intervals per BLS/ACLS until EMS arrives. AED Indicates No Shock Resume CPR and administer epinephrine mg in prefilled syringe :0,000 0 ml IV followed by flush. Two minute interval complete. AED analyzes ECG rhythm and carotid pulse absent. AED still indicates no shock. 3 Resume CPR. 4 Two minute interval complete. AED analyzes ECG rhythm and carotid pulse absent.
