Emergencies happen all too often, and early intervention can save a life.
All individuals should have a basic understanding of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills. CPR is a technique involving heart and lungs that is used when breathing stops. Administering CPR can restore breathing and restart the heart if heart failure accompanies the loss of breathing. This valuable technique should be learned by all caregivers and parents in case an emergency arises where professional help is not immediately available. Emergencies happen all too often, and early intervention can save a life. This lesson will cover how to secure the scene of an accident to protect the victim and the first responders.
Would you know what to do in an emergency?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure for manually preserving brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
Have you ever performed CPR on an individual?
CPR combines rescue breathing and chest compressions. Rescue breathing provides oxygen to the person's lungs. Chest compressions keep oxygen-rich blood flowing until the heartbeat and breathing can be restored.
Each year, more than 250,000 Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest. According to medical experts, the key to survival is timely initiation of a "chain of survival,” including CPR.
The five links in the adult chain of survival are:
Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system
Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with an emphasis on chest compressions
Rapid defibrillation
Effective advanced life support
Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
American Heart Association
The term Chain of Survival provides a useful metaphor for the elements of the ECC systems concept.

American Heart AssociationOfficial 2012 Hands-Only CPR Instructional Video. Learn how to perform CPR in this 60-second video showing Hands-Only CPR in action.http://youtu.be/zSgmledxFe8
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that checks the heart rhythm. If needed, it can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are used to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The American Heart Association notes that at least 20,000 lives could be saved annually by prompt use of AEDs.
SCA usually causes death if it's not treated within minutes. In fact, each minute of SCA leads to a 10 percent reduction in survival. Using an AED on a person who is having SCA may save the person's life. If someone is having sudden cardiac arrest, using an AED and giving CPR can improve the person's chance of survival.
AEDs are lightweight, battery-operated, portable devices that are easy to use. Each unit comes with instructions, and the device will even give you voice prompts to let you know if and when you should send a shock to the heart.
Learning how to use an AED and taking a CPR course are helpful. However, if trained personnel aren't available, untrained people also can use an AED to help save someone's life.
You often find AEDs in places with many people, such as shopping malls, golf courses, businesses, airports, airplanes, casinos, convention centers, hotels, sports venues and schools. You also can purchase a home-use AED.
Some people are afraid to use an AED to help save someone's life. They're worried that something might go wrong and that they might be sued. However, Good Samaritan laws in each state and the Federal Cardiac Arrest Survival Act (CASA) provide some protection for untrained bystanders who respond to emergencies.
Teacher note: You can arrange for the school nurse to come to class to demonstrate the use of an AED.
In Texas, a caregiver trained in CPR must be on duty at all times in a child care facility. First aid to restore breathing includes the following steps:
Begin first aid immediately. Have someone else call for a doctor or ambulance as you give first aid.
Check for blockage of the air passage. Use first aid methods appropriate for the age of the child to unblock air passages. These methods may include back blows and abdominal thrusts.
Apply artificial respiration using a method appropriate for the age of child (mouth to mouth or mouth to mouth/nose respiration).
Continue artificial respiration, including during transportation to the emergency room, until breathing begins or the task is taken over by medical personnel.
Treat the victim for shock.
Get medical care, even if breathing has been restored.
1. Check for responsiveness. Shake or tap the child gently. See if the child moves or makes a noise. Shout, "Are you okay?“
2. If there is no response, shout for help. Send someone to call 911 and retrieve an automated external defibrillator (AED) if one is available. Do not leave the child alone to call 911 and retrieve an AED until you have performed CPR for about 2 minutes.
3. Carefully place the child on his or her back. If there is a chance the child has a spinal injury, two people should move the child to prevent the head and neck from twisting.

4. Perform chest compressions:
Place the heel of one hand on the breastbone -- just below the nipples. Make sure your heel is not at the very end of the breastbone.
Keep your other hand on the child's forehead, keeping the head tilted back.
Press down on the child's chest so that it compresses about 1/3 to 1/2 the depth of the chest.
Give 30 chest compressions. Each time, let the chest rise completely. These compressions should be FAST and hard with no pausing. Count the 30 compressions quickly: "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30, off.“

5. Open the airway. Lift up the chin with one hand. At the same time, push down on the forehead with the other hand.
6. Look, listen and feel for breathing. Place your ear close to the child's mouth and nose. Watch for chest movement. Feel for breath on your cheek.
7. If the child is not breathing:
Cover the child's mouth tightly with your mouth.
Pinch the nose closed.
Keep the chin lifted and head tilted.
Give two breaths. Each breath should take about a second and make the chest rise.
8. Continue CPR (30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths, then repeat) for about 2 minutes.
9. After about 2 minutes of CPR, if the child still does not have normal breathing, coughing, or any movement, leave the child if you are alone and call 911. If an AED for children is available, use it now.
10. Repeat rescue breathing and chest compressions until the child recovers or help arrives.
If the child starts breathing again, place him or her in the recovery position. Periodically re-check for breathing until help arrives.

Caregivers should complete basic first aid training before beginning child care employment. Only first aid used for life threatening injuries common to children is discussed in this lesson. In order to save lives and prevent further injury, a person using first aid must prevent severe blood loss, maintain breathing and prevent shock.
After initial first aid is given and it is found that the sick or injured child can be safely moved, the child may be taken to an emergency room in the child care center. This room should contain the following items:
A comfortable place for the child to lie down
First aid supplies
A blanket to cover the child
Posted charts regarding first aid treatment, such as how to handle suspected poisonings, unconsciousness and disease symptoms
Emergency numbers for ambulance, police, fire department and poison control center
An emergency file for each child containing names and telephone numbers of the child’s doctor, hospital, parent(s) and other people the center staff is authorized to call in an emergency
Caregivers must be trained in first aid to handle medical emergencies. First aid is used to save lives and prevent further injury. Examples of first aid procedures include the following:
Preventing severe blood loss
Helping the child to maintain breathing
Diluting or removing poisons from the child’s body
Preventing shock
Treating burns properly
Immobilizing head and back injuries
Severe bleeding must be stopped immediately. A doctor or emergency medical team should be called. Shock and loss of consciousness may occur quickly in a child. First aid for severe bleeding is to apply direct pressure firmly to the wound with a clean dressing held in place by the hand of an adult. This method prevents blood loss without interference with normal blood circulation.
If possible, raise the injured area above the level of the victim’s heart to slow the blood flow to the wound. If bleeding continues, apply direct pressure to the wound while applying pressure against pressure points. A first aid course will demonstrate exactly the correct procedures to be used.
If a child stops breathing, immediate action should be taken by the closest caregiver. Permanent brain damage (followed by death) can result if breathing does not begin between four to six minutes after the heartbeat has stopped. Time is very important when dealing with an unconscious child who is not breathing. Permanent brain damage begins after only 4 minutes without oxygen, and death can occur as soon as 4 - 6 minutes later. Breathing can stop for any of the reasons listed below:
Obstruction in the air passage
Swelling due to damage of the air passage following the swallowing of a corrosive substance (such as lye)
Acute asthma attack
Lack of oxygen in the air (as in gas poisoning or being locked in an enclosed space such as an abandoned refrigerator)
Suffocation due to a plastic bag or other materials blocking the mouth and nostrils
Electrical shock
Poisoning
Drowning
A child who has stopped breathing may be unconscious with no breathing movements of the chest or stomach. The child’s lips will likely be blue and the pupils will be dilated.
As with other emergencies, quick and correct action is necessary when a child has swallowed a poison. It is important to dilute the poison or remove the poison from the body before the body absorbs it. The steps to take are as follows:
If possible, identify the poison.
Give first aid appropriate for that poison. Sources of information include the following:
The label on the original container
The poison control center hotline
The poison first aid chart posted in the child care center
A hospital emergency room
Treat the child for shock
Rush the child to the hospital or call for emergency medical services. Take the original poison container, if available, and a sample of any vomited material with you if the child has vomited. Why? These can help the doctor with diagnosis and treatment.
Shock is a serious condition that follows injury or sudden illness; it can be fatal. Shock results from a depression of vital body functions. It is a sign that the body is overstressed. In all cases of shock, the blood flow to vital organs is reduced. The child will probably not be able to breathe well. Every victim of injury or illness should be treated for shock, even if symptoms of shock do not appear. The symptoms are as follows:
Pale or bluish skin
Cold, moist skin
Weak, rapid pulse
Shallow or deep breathing
Weakness, dizziness, anxiousness or restlessness of the victim
First aid for the treatment and prevention of shock includes the following steps:
Keep the child lying flat on his or her back. In case of nausea or unconsciousness, turn the head to one side. Raise the feet eight to twelve inches unless doing so might further harm an injury.
Place a blanket appropriate for the climate under and over the child to prevent chilling.
If the child is thirsty, moisten the lips. Do not give fluids if the child is unconscious, is nauseated, has head or abdominal injuries, may require surgery or if medical help will arrive in less than one hour.
Get medical help as soon as possible.
Reassure and encourage the child.
Severe burns may result from fire, electrical shock, scalding liquids or touching a hot object. Burns are very dangerous to a child. Because a child’s body surface is much smaller than that of an adult, a small burn may cause serious harm to a child. If ten percent or more of a child’s body is burned or if the child has a third degree burn, medical treatment is essential. In a third degree burn, blisters form on the burned area and the skin may be charred.
If a burn is severe, do not chill the burn or submerge the child in cold water. These are appropriate techniques for minor burns. To do so for severe burns may cause shock. Appropriate first aid is to cover the burned areas with a loose, dry sterile dressing to help prevent infection. Do not touch the burned area. Use no ointments or antiseptics. Treat the child for shock and arrange to take the child to a hospital emergency room immediately.
Children take most tumbles, falls and bumps without injury. However, caregivers should be alert for serious head, neck and back injuries. These are likely to occur if the child falls from a high place or falls on a hard surface, such as asphalt or concrete.
Head injuries may show no immediate symptoms except a bump or bruises. However, head injuries may cause bleeding inside the skull. This could cause brain damage and even death. Symptoms which may occur later include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, vomiting and unconsciousness.
If a neck or back injury is suspected, do not move the child unless there is danger of explosion, fire or other life-threatening circumstances. If the child must be moved for these reasons, move the child with caution and follow the procedure you will learn in first aid training. Treat for shock and other injuries. Call for an emergency medical team to move the victim to the hospital. In the case of head, neck or back injuries, the child should always be immobilized. To immobilize means to hold or fix so that a part of the body cannot move.
Choking occurs when a food or a foreign object becomes lodged in the throat or windpipe. The Red Cross recommends a "5-and-5" method of first aid for choke victims (refer to poster).

What are some common choking hazards for children?
Remember the cardboard toilet-paper tube test? If an object can fit in a cardboard toilet-paper tube, it’s a choking hazard. Check your home and make sure all small objects are out of both sight and reach of young ones. Tie up cords from blinds and drapery, and keep ropes, ribbons, string and plastic grocery bags away from small children.
In a choking scenario, when do you call 911?

Accurate reporting of accidents, injuries or illness is essential to the child’s health record. This should be done according to established center policies and procedures in order to protect the child care center and the caregiver from possible legal liability.
