Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Samson Peter Mvandal
Introduction
• CPR is needed for patient whose breathing or
heart has stopped
• Ventilations are given to oxygenate blood whe
n breathing is inadequate or has stopped
• If heart has stopped, chest compressions are g
iven to circulate blood to vital organs
• Ventilation combined with chest compressions
is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
• CPR is commonly given to patients in cardiac a
rrest as a result of heart attack
CAUSES OF CARDIAC ARREST
Causes of cardiac arrest
2. Cardiac c
auses
1. Extra cardiac cau
ses
All cases leading to the progressive decline of contractility,
conductivity disorders, mechanical factors
All cases accompanied with hy
poxia
Causes of circulation arrest
Cardiac
• Ischemic heart disease
(myocardial infarction)
• Arrhythmias of differen
t origin and character
• Cardiac tamponade
• Pulmonary artery thro
mboembolism
• Ruptured aneurysm of
aorta
Extracardiac/Non cardiac
• airway obstruction
• acute respiratory failure
• shock
• embolisms of different o
rigin
• drug overdose
• poisoning

INDICATIONS FOR CPR
Symptoms of cardiac arrest
1. Absence of pulse on carotid arteries
2. Respiration arrest
measurement

Taking the pulse on peripheral art
eries

Auscultation of cardiac tones
Taking BP
Loss of time !!!
CPR cont…
When Not to Perform CPR
• Patient obviously dead
• or clear signs of prolonged death, such as r
igor mortis
How long to resuscitate ?
• CPR can be continued for 30 minutes if the
time to onset of CPR is less than 6 minutes,
but if there is a delay to onset of CPR longe
r than 6 minutes, CPR should be terminate
d after 15 minutes.
FACTS ABOUT CPR
• 75% of all cardiac arrests happen in peopl
e's homes.
• CPR doubles a person's chance of survival
from sudden cardiac arrest.
• There has never been a case of HIV trans
mitted by mouth-to-mouth CPR.
• Approximately 15% of patients are discha
rged neurologically intact
Facts cont…
• CPR provides a flow of oxygenated blood to
the brain and heart and keeps these organs
alive until defibrillation can shock the heart i
nto a normal rhythm.
• If CPR is started within 4 minutes of collapse
and defibrillation provided within 10 minute
s, a person has a 40% chance of survival.

Main stages of resuscitation
A (Airway)
 Look in oropharynx for swelling, secretions or other object causin
g obstruction
 Noisy or abnormal breathing sounds
 Inability to speak or change in voice
 External evidence of trauma or compressive masses
B (Breathing)
 Assess for the presence of breathing
 If present assess for adequacy
 Look for trachea deviation
 Decreased or absence of breath sounds
NB.Current resuscitation guidelin
e follow the sequence of CABDE
not ABCDE
12
A (Airway)
ensure an open airw
ay
C (Circulation)
Rapid assessment and management of C problems is t
he most important aspect for CPR
Feel for a central pulse for no more than 10 seconds
If present look for sign of circulatory compromise
 A pulse that is weak and either too fast or too slow
 Hypotension
 Evidency of poor peripheral perfusion
 Evidence of poor organ perfusion
Intervention on C
Management on C problems depends on whether cardiac arre
st is present or not
Patients in cardiac arrest needs CPR and rapid access to AED
or defibrillator
Patient with shock need rapid assessment and correction of th
e underlying cause.
The tool for circulation management includes
Chest compression
AED
Defibrillator
IV access for drugs and fluids
Devices and Drugs aimed at the underlying cause
15
Check the pulse on carotid artery
using fingers of the other hand fo
r 5-10 seconds
If pulse is absent start CPR at
once and get AED

Blood pumping is assure

Thoracic pump at the cardiac massage
Blood circulation is restored d
ue to the change in intra thora
cic pressure
During the chest compression
blood is directed from the pul
monary circulation to the syst
emic circulation. Cardiac valv
es function as in normal cardi
ac cycle.
General technique of CPR
• Verify Scene safety
• Shake victim’s shoulders and shout "are you okay?"
• If unresponsive, not breathing, and no pulse
• Place victim flat on his/her back on a hard surface.
• Call for help
• Start CPR
General technique cont…
• Find the correct hand position (At the breast born)
– Two hands for adults
– One or 2 hands for child
– Two fingers for infant
General technique cont…
• Begin CPR cycle
• 30:2 for adult
• 15:2 for children
Quality of CPR
• Compress chest hard and fast at a rate of 100 compres
sions/minute
– Adult = 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep
– Infant/child = 1/3 to 1/2 inches depth
• Release completely between compressions
General technique cont…
• If AED/defibrillator available
• Check rhythm
• If shock able rhythm administer 1 shock
• Immediately return CPR for 2 minutes then reassess rhyt
hm
• If non -shockable rhythm
• Immediately CPR for 2 minutes then reassess rhythm
•
Placing pocket mask or BVM
1. Give 2 ventilations, each l
asting 1 second
2. Determine victim has no p
ulse
Put hand(s) in correct position for chest comp
ressions
Give 30 chest compressions at rate of 100 per minute
Then give 2 ventilations
Continue CPR until:
• Patient begins to move
• You are too exhausted to continue
• If patient starts moving, check for adequate breathin
g
• If patient is breathing adequately, put patient in reco
very position and monitor breathing
CPR cont…
Chest Compressions Alert
• Be careful with your h
and position
• Do not give compressi
ons over bottom tip of
breastbone
Chest Compressions Alert
• When compressing, k
eep elbows straight an
d hands in contact wit
h patient’s chest at all
times
Chest Compressions Alert
• Compress chest hard a
nd fast, but let chest r
ecoil completely betw
een compressions.
• Minimize amount of ti
me used giving ventil
ations between sets of
compressions.
Problems with CPR Technique
• CPR often ineffective because of poor technique
• Compressions not delivered steadily and constantly d
uring resuscitation efforts
• Often compressions are too shallow, resulting in ineff
ective blood flow
• Compressions may be given at too fast a rate
• Only good-quality CPR improves chances of survival
Chest Compressions
• Infant or child being given rescue breaths or oxygen
may have a pulse but still inadequate perfusion
• If pulse < 60 beats/minute and infant or child has sign
s of poor perfusion, provide CPR
Two-Rescuer CPR for Adults and Children
• Minimizes time betwee
n rescue breaths and co
mpressions
– CPR becomes more
effective
• Reduces rescuer fatigue
Two-Rescuer CPR
• Performed in cycles of 30:2 for adult (15:2 for infant
or child)
• One rescuer provides breaths, second rescuer gives ch
est compressions
• Rescuers switch positions every 2 minutes
– Change done after full CPR cycle
– Accomplish change in < 5 seconds
Two-Rescuer CPR continued
• If defibrillation present, one rescuer gives CPR while
the other sets up unit
• If unit advises CPR, rescuers give CPR together
• Third rescuer can apply cricoid pressure
Transitioning from One-Rescuer CPR to Two-
Rescuer CPR
• Second rescuer moves into position on other side to pr
epare to take over chest compressions
• First rescuer completes a cycle of compressions and ve
ntilations
While first rescuer pauses to check for a pulse, second
rescuer finds correct hand position for compressions
Transitioning from One-Rescuer CPR to Two-
Rescuer CPR
• When first rescuer says, “No pulse, continue CPR,” se
cond rescuer begins chest compressions and first rescu
er then gives only ventilations
Skill For CPR in Adult or Child
(Two Rescuers)
Rescuer 1 checks ABCs. Rescuer 2 locates site for che
st compressions.
If no pulse, rescuer 2 gives 30 chest compressions for
adult (15 for child) at rate of 100/minute.
Rescuer 1 gives 2 recue breaths.
Continue cycles of 30:2 for adults (15:2 for chil
d). After 5 cycles (~ 2 minutes) switch position
s.
Adult or Child Two-Rescuer CPR Continued
• Continue CPR until:
– Patient moves
– Advanced help arrives and takes over
• If patient starts breathing and has pulse, put in recovery p
osition and monitor ABCs
• If AED brought to scene, start AED sequence
Two-Rescuer CPR: Infants
• Uses different hand position
• Place thumbs of both hands on sternum while fingers
encircle chest
• Compress breastbone with both thumbs while squeez
ing chest with fingers
• Same rate and depth as usual
Skills for CPR Infants
(Two Rescuers)
Rescuer 1 checks ABC
s. Rescuer 2 locates sit
e for chest compressio
ns.
If no pulse, rescuer 2 giv
es 15 chest compressio
ns.
Rescuer 1 gives 2 breaths.
Infant Two-Rescuer CPR Continued
• Continue cycles of 15:2 for ~ 2 minutes then switch r
oles
• Continue CPR until:
– Infant moves
– Advanced help arrives and takes over
• If infant starts breathing, hold in recovery position an
d monitor ABCs

During CPR
• Ensure high quality CPR rate, depth and recoil
• Plan intervention before interrupting CPR
• Give oxygen
• Consider advanced airway and capnography
• Continuous chest compressions when advanced air in
place
• Vascular access (IV,IO)
• Give adrenaline every 3-5 min
• Correct reversible causes
Reversible causes
• Hypoxia
• Hypovolaemia
• Hypo/Hyperkalaemia
• Hypothermia
• Thrombosis-pulmonary or coronary
• Tamponade-cardiac
• Toxins
• Tension PTX
Reasons to Stop CPR
• Patient revives.
• You are so exhausted you can not continue.
Complications of Compressions
• Fractured ribs
• Fractured sternum
• Lacerated lungs
• Lacerated liver, blood vessels, etc.,,
54
Drugs used in CPR
Atropine
• Can be injected bolus
• Plays significant role in some cases of cardiac arrest
• Increases heart rate
Adrenaline
• Large doses have been withdrawn from the algorithm. Th
e recommended dose is 1 mg in each 3-5 min
• Increases heart rate and blood pressure
Drugs cont…
Lidocaine
• Low doses as local anesthetics, high dose as anti-arrh
ythmic
