2. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lecture you would be able to:
• identify the steps of adult basic life support.
• recognise the signs of someone needing CPR.
• perform high quality CPR for an adult.
• describe the steps of airway control and management.
• discuss the management of cardiac arrest.
• enumerate the drug used during cardiac arrest management.
3. INDIAN SCENARIO
• Heart attacks are the leading cause of death in India .
• one -fifth of the deaths in India are from coronary heart disease.
• By the year 2020 ,it will account for one-third of all the deaths in the
country. There is an estimate of 45 million coronary artery disease in
India .
• With the increasing number of young Indians hooked to roller coastal
lifestyle and falling pray to coronary artery disease,the future looks even
grimmer
• Despite recent gains, less than 40% of adults receive layperson-initiated
CPR, and fewer than 12% have an AED applied before EMS arrival.
6. DEFINITION OF CPR
• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency
procedure that combines chest compressions often with
artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact
brain function until further measures are taken to restore
spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who
is cardiac arrest.
8. HIGH-QUALITY CPR IS WHY?
EARLY RECOGNITION AND CPR ARE CRUCIAL FOR SURVIVAL
FROM CARDIAC ARREST. BY LEARNING HIGH-QUALITY CPR,
YOU WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO IMPROVE PATIENT
OUTCOMES AND SAVE MORE LIVES
17. LOCATING CAROTID PULSE
LOCATE THE TRACHEA(ON THE SIDE CLOSEST TO YOU)
USE 2-3 FINGERS.
SLIDE THE FINGERS INTO THE GROOVE BETWEEN THE
TRACHEA AND THE MUSCLES AT THE SIDE OF
NECK(STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID MUSCLE)
ONCE AT A SIDE.
FEEL FOR A PULSE FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS BUT
NOT MORE THAN 10 SECONDS.
20. BAG-MASK DEVICE
TO PROVIDE POSITIVE PRESSURE
VENTILATION.
CAN BE USED WITH OR WITHOUT
OXYGEN.
IF NOT ATTACHED TO O2, IT PROVIDES
21% OXYGEN FROM ROOM AIR.
BAG-SELF
INFLATING
MASK
21. TECHNIQES TO HOLD
PERFORM A HEAD TILT
PLACE NARROW PORTION AT THE BRIDGE
OF NOSE.
USE THUMB AND INDEX FINGER TO MAKE A
“C”
USE REMAINING FINGERS TO LIFT THE
ANGLES OF THE JAW(3 FINGER FORMS A “E”
SHAPE.
EACH BREATH OVER 1 SECOND-CHECK FOR
CHEST RISE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
26. BLS-SEQUENCE
VERIFY SCENE SAFETY
CHECK FOR RESPONSIVENESS
CALL FOR HELP
ASSESS FOR BREATHING AND PULSE SIMULTANEOUSLY
START CPR
RESQUE BREATHING
GET AED
CONTINUE TILL ALS PROVIDER TAKES OVER

28. WHAT IS ACLS?
• Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) refers to a set of
clinical interventions for the urgent treatment of cardiac arrest
,stroke and other life threatening cardiovascular emergency
,as well as the knowledge and skills to deploy those
interventions.
33. CPR QUALITY
• Push hard (at least 2inches o 5cm
and fast (100-120/min) and allow
complete chest recoil.
• Minimise interruptions in
compressions
• Avoid excessive ventilation .
• Change compression every 2 min
or sooner if fatigued.
• If no advanced airway ,30:2
compression -ventilation ratio
• Quantitative waveform
capnography
-if PETCO2 is low or
decreasing,reassess CPR quality
SHOCK ENERGY FOR DEFIBRILLATION
BIPHASIC:
• Manufacturer recommendation(eg.
initial dose of 120-200J ),if unknown
use maximum available
• second and subsequent doses should
be equivalent ,and higher doses may
be considered .
MONOPHASIC(360 J)
34. DRUG THERAPY
• Epinephrine IV/IO dose:1mg
every 3-5min
• Amiodarone IV/IO dose
-First dose: 300mg bolus
-second dose: 150mg
or
• lidocaine IV /IO dose :
-First dose:1-1.5mg /kg
-Second dose :0.5 -0.75mg/kg
ADVANCED AIRWAY
• Endotracheal intubation or
supraglotic advanced airway
• waveform capnography or
capnometry to cofirm and
monitor ET Tube placement
• Once advanced airway in place
give one breath every 6seconds
(10 breaths per minute) with
continuous chest compressions
36. RETURN OF SPONTANEOUS
CIRCULATION(ROSC)
• Pulse and blood pressure
• Abrupt sustained increase in
PETCO2(typically more than or equal to
40mm Hg)
• Spontaneous arterial pressure waves with
intraarterial monitoring
37. QUICK RECAP- HIGH QUALITY CPR
• START COMPRESSION WITHIN 10 SECONDS.
• PUSH HARD AND PUSH FAST.
AT LEAST 5 CM FOR ADULTS.
COMPRESS AT A RATE OF 100 TO 120 PER MINUTES.
• ALLOW COMPLETE CHEST RECOIL.
• MINIMIZE INTERRUPTIONS.
GIVE EFFECTIVE BREATHS
AVOID EXCESSIVE VENTILATION
