1 The Chain of Survival Early Recognition Early CPR Early Defibrillation Effective Post Resuscitation Care
2
3 Danger To ensure safety in an emergency the rescuers must establish the area is safe for him/herself, the victim and other participants or bystanders prior to commencing CPR Recognise that dangers can include electricity, fluid spills, toxic substances excessive clutter, crowd control, access to small area Moving the victim &/or modifying environment may be necessary prior to commencing BLS
4 Response Assess response to verbal and tactile stimuli (touch and talk) Speak loudly and ask can you hear me Give a simple command i.e. open your eyes C.O.W.S Can you hear me; Open your eyes; What s your name; Squeeze my hand Apply firm grasp to the shoulders and squeeze to induce a response Rub the soles or the palms of the victim if an infant.
5 Send A Call for Help Stay with the patient Activate CODE BLUE EMERGENCY by depressing emergency button. Dial 444 between (Rton) Dial 777 in Gladstone Dial 88 in Mackay. Announce 3 times Code Blue and ward area When orientating patient and family ensure significant others are aware of how to activate the emergency call system (this is Only for Rockhampton, Gladstone )
6 Airway Management >Assess >clear >establish airway Check to see if airway is clear Don t routinely roll patient onto their side unless in the event of obstruction with fluid i.e. blood /vomit, or in the event of a submersion (drowning) In the hospital situation use of suction Remove loose dentures leave in if well fitting To clear - open and turn mouth slightly downward to use gravity or utilise suction Reassess for return of responsiveness
7 Establishing the Airway The manoeuvres used to establish an airway in an adult are > Head Tilt/Chin Lift
8 Establishing the Airway Jaw Thrust Used if a neck injury is suspected or difficulty opening the airway occurs using the head tilt & chin lift method
9 Airway Children & Infants Infant = less than 1 year Head in infant maintained in NEUTRAL position with jaw support only Child = 1 8 years Head tilt chin lift Jaw support
10 Airway Obstruction(choking) Recognise and Relieve Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (FBAO) Back Blows administer up to 5 back blows with heel of hand between shoulder blades. Goal to relieve obstruction with each blow ceasing manoeuvre once obstruction relieved Chest Thrusts administered by locating the same point where compressions are delivered in CPR. Give up to 5 thrusts by pushing on chest in a similar manner but sharper and slower
11 Breathing Look for movement of the upper abdomen or lower chest Listen for the escape of air from nose and mouth Feel for movement of chest and upper abdo If breathing present maintain open airway If breathing doesn t commence once airway is clear and open CHEST COMPRESSIONS MUST BE COMMENCED IMMEDIATELY Following chest compressions rescue breaths are given The inspiratory time for each breath is 1 second/breath
12 Breathing Mouth to Mask i.e. pocket mask Ensure one way valve and good seal Rescuer positioned behind pts head Inflate lungs, blowing through mouthpiece of mask sufficient volume to achieve chest movement Assessing respirations - turn your head and listen and feel for escape of air If chest not rising check head tilt, chin lift and mask seal
13 Pocket Mask Technique Provides ventilation O2 concentration = 15 18% adding oxygen increases this to 40 50%
14
15 Circulation Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation If the patient is unresponsive and not breathing normally CPR must commence with COMPRESSIONS Feeling for a pulse is unreliable and should not be performed to confirm the need for resuscitation. A health professional may check for central (i.e. carotid pulse) in an adult or brachial or femoral in the infant/child for up to 10 seconds only while checking for other signs i.e. response and breathing Correct hand position for chest compressions is the lower half of the sternum for all age groups this equates with the centre of the chest
16 Method of Compression (Adult) Patient supine on a firm surface rescuer beside chest Heel of hand is placed on the compression point Fingers of hand slightly raised with other hand securely on top of the first hand Pressure is exerted through the heel of the bottom hand The shoulder should be vertically over the sternum and the compressing arm is kept straight Compressions should be rhythmic with equal time for compression and relaxation Avoid compression beyond lower edge of sternum as compression delivered too low may cause injury to internal organs &/or regurgitation Too high compressions ineffective
17 ( ADULTS/LARGE CHILD 30 compressions to 2 breaths (for one or two rescuers) SMALL CHILD OR INFANT 2 BREATHS TO 15 COMPRESSIONS WHEN 2 HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS PERFORMING CPR (NOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF 2 INITIAL BREATHS) Approximately compressions per minute (almost 2 compressions/second) Compression MUST be paused to allow for ventilation allowing for 1 second /inspiration, UNTIL PATIENT INTUBATED Minimise interruptions to chest compression for any reason Compressor counts Swap compressor every 2 minutes to reduce deterioration in quality due to rescuer fatigue
18
19 Hand Placement Infant
20 Method (Allow recoil) Adult/Large Child Heel of one hand other hand on top Depth > 5 cms or 1/3 depth of the chest wall Rate 100compressions /min Small Child (1-8) Heel of one hand or heel of one hand other hand on top Approx 5 cms or 1/3 depth of the chest wall 100 compressions /min Infant (< 1 yr) Two fingers or Two thumbs Approx 4 cms or 1/3 depth of the chest wall 100 compressions /min One Operator 30 : 2 30 : 2 30 : 2 Two Operators Lay Person Two health care Professionals 30 : 2 30 : 2 30 : 2 30 : 2 2 : 15 (2 initial breaths) 2 : 15 (2 initial breaths)
21 Resuscitation in Late Pregnancy Pregnant (gravid) uterus causes pressure on major vessels i.e. the inferior vena cava and aorta reducing venous return to heart and cardiac output Position patient on her back with shoulders flat and padding under right buttock to give an obvious pelvic tilt to the left Proceed with CPR (Soar et al, 2010 Section 8 p 1400)
22 Defibrillation D = in the basic life support algorithm refers to defibrillation and states that the defibrillator must be attached as soon as able. All staff are assessed in the use of AED as it now forms part of BLS
23 Duration of CPR Interruptions to chest compressions are associated with lower survival rates. Therefore CPR should continue until Responsiveness or normal breathing return Impossible to continue (exhaustion) An qualified health professional directs for CPR to cease
24 Communication Establish who is the team leader Establish roles and responsibilities of staff during the medical emergency using clear, concise communication Give accurate information to the Medical Officer/ Senior RN re medical emergency event
25 Nursing Responsibilities Ensure there are enough staff to manage the situation Nurse scribe should include the following documentation: time, cardiac rhythm, defibrillations, drugs administered - dose and route, observations, IV fluids Remember to provide privacy and curtain off the other patients and ask visitors to leave the room Allocate staff to care for other patients
26 Post Resuscitation Care Consider transfer arrangement Monitor and Maintain perfusion Maintain oxygenation through airway management/ensuring adequate ventilation Determine and treat the cause Informal or formal debriefing for staff participants.
