5. • For any serious patient
Prevent cardiac arrest
Give O (OXYGEN)
Apply M (MONITOR)
Take I (IV Line )
Record V (RECORD VITALS)
and act accordingly
A patient with
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Low blood pressure
Decreased level of consciousness
Clinical shock
is serious.
6. Why is this so important?
• Ischemic Heart Disease is the leading cause
of death in the world.
• 1 in 3 deaths is cardiovascular.
• Most victims will die without immediate
and appropriate intervention.
10. • If arrest time is < 6 minutes & CPR time is < 30 minutes,
there is 50% chance of good neurological recovery.
SO, BE QUICK & ENERGETIC
• Goal is to start CPR within 5 minutes of arrest.
SO, BYSTANDER CPR IS MUST.
• Looking to the importance of bystander CPR.
TEACH & TRAIN TO EVEN THE PARAMEDICS
• Cardiac Arrest Management is a team work.
SO, CALL FOR HELP IN THE BEGINNING
BUT DON’T WAIT FOR HELP
THINGS TO REMEMBER
11. • CPR is only a temporary method, identification of
underlying cause & its effective management is the
basis of successful management.
• INTRACARDIAC ADRENALINE IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
• Keep yourself updated with the latest advances in
the field.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
12. • Unconsciousness.
• Absence of pulse.
• Gasping/ Respiratory arrest.
Pupillary size has prognostic significance
SIGNS OF CARDIAC ARREST
15. Look around to see if it is
safe to approach(safety)
Tap the victim’s shoulder
and shout “Are you okay?”
Check to see if the victim
is breathing by looking at
their chest. If they are not
breathing, or not breathing
normally (only gasping)
19. How to check the carotid
• Turn the face laterally to relax sternocledomastoid.
• Place your index and middle fingers on your neck to
the side of your trachea.
• At the level of cricoid cartilage.
• At least 5 s but Not more than 10 s.
20. Lower half of sternum
On the centre of chest
Hard and fast at least 5 cm depth,
100 to 120/min (30:2)
Equal compression and relaxation
BLS: Circulation
.
Start quality External cardiac massage
21. How to give compressions?
• Patient should be supine and on hard surface.
• Position of rescuer should be higher than the
patient so adequate leverage can be generated.
• Chest compressions should be given with the heel
of hand with interlocking both the hands.
• Rate should be 100-120/m.
• Compression and relaxation should be equal.
22. Basic Life Support
Compression Fraction :
• The amount of time spent providing
compressions
• May also be called “compression ratio”
• Goal: At least 80% !
23. BLS:Airway
Clear airway – Suctioning & removal
of FB if any
Open Airway– Head tilt and Chin lift.
Jaw thrust if Cervical
spine injury
25. Fingers: jaw thrust upward Fingers: head tilt–chin lift
Airway
If all else fails open the airway with Head Tilt/Chin Lift
26. BLS:Breathing
Via mouth, barrier device or bag-valve-mask.
Check breathing and start artificial breathing with AMBU bag
if no breathing (30:2) for single rescuer.
8 to 10 /min – inspiration over 1 sec for two or more rescuers.
28. •Open the airway adequately
•Pinch the nose
•Take a normal breath
•Place lips over mouth
•Blow until the chest rises
•Take about 1 second
•Allow chest to fall
•Provide two breathes
•Then continue CPR 30:2
34. AEDs and
Ventricular Fibrillation
• VF is the most frequent initial rhythm in sudden
cardiac arrest
• VF is a useless quivering of the heart that results
in no blood flow
• Defibrillation is the only
effective treatment for VF
• Successful electrical
defibrillation diminishes
rapidly over time
35. Electrical Therapies
• Witnessed arrest should receive AED as
quickly as possible.
• Un-witnessed, the rescuer should provide 5
cycles of CPR prior to AED to hyperoxygenate
the heart prior to electrical therapy
41. • Check the power supply
• Check that leads are properly connected to
the patients and to the monitor
• Confirm the flat line in at least two leads on
the monitor.
• Increase amplitude / gain
Flat line protocol
42. Age 1 to 8 years-
use heel of one hand for cardiac compression.
30 : 2 ratio ( with advance airway, ventilation 10 to 12/ min. & compression
atleast 100/min.)
Use paediatric pads for defibrillation with 2 joule /Kg current.
New born -
2 finger or thumb technique for cardiac compression
15:2 ratio ( with advance airway, ventilation 20 to 30/ min. & compression
atleast 100/min.)
CPR
differences in new born and paediatric patient
from 1 to 8 years of age
45. Comparison of Chest Compression Techniques
Thumb Technique (Preferred)
– Less tiring
– Better control of compression depth
Two-Finger Technique
– More convenient with only one rescuer
– Better for small hands
– Provides access to umbilicus for medications

49. • Before resident doctors in any discipline, you are a
qualified MBBS doctor.
• Providing quality CPR with BLS and ACLS is your
primary responsibility
