The steps are: check the scene and put on gloves, check for consciousness by tapping and shouting, call 911 and request an AED, check for breathing and pulse for no more than 10 seconds, give ventilations if breathing is absent, continue for 2 minutes and recheck, begin CPR if no pulse, continue until signs of life, rescuer exhaustion or unsafe conditions. If breathing does not occur, reposition airway or begin CPR. Follow AED prompts to analyze, shock if advised or begin CPR if not advised.
Automated External Defibrillator
The document discusses how to respond in an emergency situation requiring an automated external defibrillator (AED). It provides instructions on performing an initial assessment of an unconscious victim, calling 911, administering CPR, retrieving an AED, and using the AED to analyze the victim's heart rhythm and deliver a shock if needed. The objectives are to teach students to properly use an AED through a demonstration using mannequins and to test their abilities in a clinical setting.

This document provides guidance on performing basic life support (BLS) algorithms and interventions for patients in respiratory or cardiac distress. It discusses the CABD (Circulation, Airway, Breathing, Defibrillation) approach for both adults and infants. Key steps include assessing responsiveness, checking pulse and breathing, performing chest compressions, providing rescue breaths, using an AED, and positioning patients in recovery. Early CPR and defibrillation are vital for survival of cardiac arrest patients.
First aid in cardiac arrest
Dr. Emanuel Kanga provides information on first aid for cardiac arrest and CPR/AED use. The document defines cardiac arrest and outlines the chain of survival - check response, call for help, start CPR, use an AED. It describes how to perform CPR, including 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths at a rate of 100/minute. It also explains how to use an automated external defibrillator, including turning it on, attaching pads, analyzing rhythm, clearing anyone before delivering a shock if advised. The goal of CPR and defibrillation is to provide temporary support to the heart and circulation until normal function returns.
Cardiac Emergencies
This document provides guidance on assessing and managing cardiac emergencies as an EMT. It discusses signs of cardiac compromise, administering nitroglycerin, performing CPR, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED). Key points covered include indications for nitroglycerin use, delivering shocks with an AED for shockable rhythms, resuming CPR after "no shock" messages, safety practices for AED use, and maintaining AEDs to ensure proper function.
BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS)
A presentation used to train medical professionals to perform BLS in emergency condition. it will provide a better understanding about the steps of BLS and the order in which it should be perfomed.
AED.pptx
An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
BLS_2023_changes.docx
This document provides guidelines for performing basic life support (BLS) on adults, infants, and children. It outlines the CABD (Circulation, Airway, Breathing, Defibrillation) process. Key steps include assessing responsiveness, checking pulse, providing chest compressions and rescue breaths, maintaining an open airway, and using an AED if available. The guidelines specify how to modify techniques based on the age of the patient.

- 1. AED
- 3. AED Parts
- 5. Step 1: Assessment Determine patient is over 8 years old or weight more than 55 lbs. The patient is unresponsive and not breathing Remove clothing from patient chest Ensure the skin site is clean and dry If necessary, dry and shave patient’s chest Open AED lid and wait until the LEDs are Lit
- 6. Step 2: Pad Placement AED will Prompt “Tear Open Package and Remove Pads” Tear Open Package Tear the package along dotted lines and remove the pads from package Leave the package attached to the pad wires AED will Prompt “Peel One Pad From Plastic Liner” Peel one pad carefully from the plastic liner
- 7. Step 2: Pad Placement (continued) AED will Prompt “Place One Pad on Bare Upper Chest” Place sticky side on patient skin on upper right chest below collar bone above nipple to the right of sterum
- 8. Step 2: Pad Placement (continued) AED will Prompt “Peel Second Pad and Place on Bare Lower Chest As Shown” Remove pad from plastic liner and place it on lower left chest, below and left of the breast
- 9. Pad Placement Notes The pads are non-polarized which means they can be place in either position as shown on the pad package
- 10. Step 2: Pad Placement (continued) When pads are place the AED will Prompt “Do Not touch patient. Analyzing Rhythm.” If the pads are not properly placed or become disconnected at any time during the rescue the AED will Prompt “Check Pads” If this occurs make sure pads are firmly placed on clean ,dry skin and that the pad cable is securely plugged into the AED
- 11. Step 3: ECG Analysis As Soon as the AED detects Proper pad placement the AED will Prompt. “Do Not touch Patient. Analyzing Rhythm” The AED is analyzing the patients cardiac rhythm. If a shock is advised the AED will Prompt “Stand Clear! Shock will be delivered in 3, 2, 1.” If the rhythm changes the AED will Prompt “Rhythm Changed. Shock Cancelled”
- 12. Step 3: ECG Analysis notes If at anytime the AED Prompts” “Analysis Interrupted. Stop Patient Motion” Make sure no one is touch or moving the patient This can also happen if a strong electromagnetic emitting device is nearby ( within 5 meters). Remove electronic device or stop excessive motion when you heard this prompt
- 13. Step 4: CPR Mode After the AED has Deliver a shock or has detect a non-shockable rhythm the AED enters into CPR mode AED will Prompt “It is now safe to touch the patient. Start CPR” 30 compression to 2 breaths if patient is unresponsive If patient is conscious and breathing normally leave pads on patient’s chest connect to AED. Make Patient as comfortable as possible and await EMS personal to arrive
- 14. Step 4: CPR Mode After two minutes the AED will Prompt “Do Not touch Patient. Analyzing Rhythm” After this the AED will either administer another shock or advise to continue CPR to patient Follow the AED prompts
