The document discusses cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and basic life support (BLS). It notes that cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest are common causes of death. CPR combines rescue breathing and chest compressions to provide oxygen to the lungs and circulate oxygen-rich blood until heartbeat and breathing can be restored. BLS can be performed by trained laypeople through techniques like hands-only CPR to help cardiac arrest victims until more advanced medical support arrives. The document emphasizes the importance of immediate intervention to improve survival rates for cardiac arrest and other emergencies.

Do chest Compressions a. Position your hands over the center of the person’s chest. b. Press down hard at a rate of 120 times per minute c. Check for responsiveness after 5 sets of 30 compressions each
- 27. The Automated ExternalDefibrillator - AED • A rescue device that delivers a controlled, precise shock to the heart. An AED can restore the heart’s electrical rhythm and heart beat in the event of a cardiac arrest.
- 28. Steps in Usingan AED Step 1: Before using an AED, check for the presence of water near the unconscious person. Move him or her away from wetness when delivering shocks. Step 2: Turn on the AED’s power. The device will give you step by step instructions. You will hear voice prompts and see prompts on a screen.
- 29. Step 3: Exposethe person’s chest. If the person’s chest is wet, dry it. Step 4: Place the pads on the person’s chest as illustrated:
- 30. Step 5: Checkthat the wires from the electrodes are connected to the AED. Make sure that no one is touching the person, and then press the “analyze” button. Stay clear while the machine checks the person’s heart rhythm.
- 31. Step 6: Ifshock is needed, the AED will let you know when to deliver it. Stand clear of the person and make sure others are clear before you push the AED’s “shock” button. Step 7: Start or resume CPR until emergency medical help arrives. Report all information that you have to the emergency crew.
- 32. Where is anAED found? – An AED may be located on the school campus or close by at a community facility. – It will be helpful for all to know the location of these devices and who to contact if an AED is needed. 32

Editor's Notes
- #11 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.
- #17 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. http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/CPRAndECC/WhatisCPR/AboutUs/Chain-of-Survival_UCM_307516_Article.jsp
