14 Procedure 111 One-Rescuer CPR, Adult PERFORMANCE REVIEW CHECKLIST Name of Patient Care Technician of Program to Social Security Number or Identification Number _ Program Code Number (if any) S=Satisfactory Performance U=Unsatisfactory Performance Place a full signature to correspond with each set of initials appearing below. Initials Corresponding Signature of Instructor Title Supplies needed: Disposable exam gloves Adjunctive ventilation device Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 1. Gently shake the patient and ask, Are you OK? 2. Call for help by following your facility policy for calling a code or getting emergency assistance. 3. Open the patient s airway using the head tilt, chin lift procedure or the jaw thrust maneuver. 4. Stand next to the patient s head. Place your ear next to the patient s nose and mouth. Simultaneously look at the patient s chest to see if it is rising and falling. Feel and listen for breathing on your cheek and ear. 5. If breathing is absent, give two breaths through a pocket mask or other adjunctive device. 6. Locate the carotid pulse, and palpate it lightly for 5 to 10 seconds.
15 Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 7. If the pulse is absent, locate the landmark hand position. Run your fingers up the lower margins of the ribs and locate the xiphoid process. Hold your index and middle fingers over the xiphoid process to keep your place. Proper hand placement is very important to prevent injury. 8. Place the heel of your other hand on the chest next to your fingers. Next, place the landmark hand on top of the other hand, interlacing the fingers. Lock your elbows. 9. Compress the sternum straight down 11 2 to 2 inches at a rate of 80 to 100 compressions a minute. Downward pressure should be on the sternum only. Avoid pressing on the ribs with your fingers. Keep your fingers interlaced and slightly elevated from the chest. Compressions should be smooth and rhythmic. Completely release pressure, but maintain hand contact with the chest between each compression. The release in pressure allows the heart to refill with blood. 10. At the end of each 15 compressions, deliver 2 full breaths through the pocket mask or other adjunctive device. 11. Upon completion of 4 cycles of 15 compressions and 2 ventilations, reassess the patient for return of the carotid pulse. If present, monitor for spontaneous breathing. If absent, continue CPR. If present, perform rescue breathing, using the airway adjunct, once every 5 seconds. If a second rescuer joins you while CPR is in progress, see Procedure 112. Instructor Signature Student Signature
16 Procedure 112 Two-Rescuer CPR, Adult PERFORMANCE REVIEW CHECKLIST Name of Patient Care Technician of Program to Social Security Number or Identification Number _ Program Code Number (if any) S=Satisfactory Performance U=Unsatisfactory Performance Place a full signature to correspond with each set of initials appearing below. Initials Corresponding Signature of Instructor Title Supplies needed: Disposable exam gloves Adjunctive ventilation device Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 1. If the code team or other help has not yet arrived when the second rescuer appears, instruct him or her to repeat the call for help. 2. Upon the second rescuer s return, complete a cycle of 15 compressions and 2 ventilations. 3. Stop CPR. 4. Locate the carotid pulse and assess for spontaneous pulse return. 5. During the pulse check, the second rescuer prepares to perform chest compressions. He or she positions himself or herself opposite the first rescuer and locates the landmark. He or she places hands on the chest in preparation for beginning chest compressions. 6. If the pulse is absent, say, No pulse.
17 Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 7. Deliver one ventilation. 8. The second rescuer begins chest compressions. 9. Upon completion of 5 compressions, the second rescuer pauses briefly. 10. When the second rescuer pauses, deliver a breath, using the adjunctive device. 11. The ventilator (first rescuer) is responsible for reassessing the patient. Palpate the carotid pulse during the second rescuer s chest compressions. You will feel a pulse if the compressions are effective. Signal the compressor periodically to pause for 5 seconds for a reassessment of pulse and respirations, if necessary. 12. CPR is physically demanding. If the compressor becomes fatigued, change positions at the end of 10 cycles by calling for a switch. 13. Count out loud, substituting the word switch or change for one, then continuing with two, and three, and four, and five. 14. The first rescuer delivers one ventilation. 15. Both rescuers move simultaneously to change places. The first rescuer moves to the chest and locates proper hand placement. The second rescuer moves to the head and checks the pulse for 5 seconds. 16. The second rescuer states, Pulse absent. 17. The first rescuer begins chest compressions. Repeat the sequence until the code team arrives. Instructor Signature Student Signature
