- 2. Heart Attack andCardiac Arrest • Heart attack occurs when heart muscle tissue dies because its blood supply is severely reduced or stopped. • Cardiac arrest results when the heart stops beating.
- 3. Caring for CardiacArrest The Chain of Survival Five events that must occur rapidly and in an integrated manner during cardiac arrest: • Recognition and action • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) • Defibrillation • Advanced care • Post-arrest care
- 4. Purpose of CPR •CPR moves blood to the heart and brain by giving chest compressions. • CPR provides periodic breaths to place oxygen into the victim’s lungs.
- 5. Performing CPR Age Classifications •Adults: Puberty and older • Children: 1 year to puberty • Infants: Younger than 1 year
- 6. Performing CPR Check forResponsiveness and Breathing (1 of 2) • Tap the victim’s shoulder and ask if he or she is okay. • At the same time, look to see if the victim is breathing. • Have a bystander call 9-1-1.
- 7. Performing CPR Check forResponsiveness and Breathing (2 of 2) • If alone, call 9-1-1 unless the victim is a child or infant. • For children and infants, give 30 compressions and 2 breaths before calling 9-1-1.
- 8. Performing CPR Give ChestCompressions (1 of 3) • Perform on a firm, flat surface whenever possible. • Use two hands on adults. • Use one hand on children. • Use two fingers on infants.
- 9. Performing CPR Give ChestCompressions (2 of 3) • Compress hard and fast. • Compress at least 2 inches on an adult’s and child’s chest. • Compress an infant’s chest about 1½ inches. • Place hands in the center of the chest at the lower half of the breast bone.
- 10. Performing CPR Give ChestCompressions (3 of 3) • Give 30 compressions per 18 seconds. • Give 2 rescue breaths.
- 11. Performing CPR Continue CPRUntil… • An automated external defibrillator (AED) is available. • Victim shows signs of life. • Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel take over. • You become too tired to continue.
- 12. Performing CPR Give RescueBreaths (1 of 3) • Tilt the victim’s head back and lift the chin to open the airway.

- 14. • Give onebreath lasting 1 second, take a breath, and then give another 1- second breath. • Each breath should make the victim’s chest rise. Performing CPR Give Rescue Breaths (3 of 3)
- 15. Methods of RescueBreathing • Mouth-to-breathing device • Mouth-to-nose method • Mouth-to-stoma method
- 16. Mouth-to-Breathing Device • Abreathing device is placed in or over the victim’s mouth and nose as a precaution against disease transmission.
- 17. Mouth-to-Nose Method • Usedwhen: • you cannot open the victim’s mouth. • the victim’s mouth is severely injured. • you cannot make a good seal with the victim’s mouth. • Tilt the head back, and push up on the victim’s chin to close the mouth. • Seal your mouth over the victim’s nose and provide rescue breaths.
- 18. Mouth-to-Stoma Method • Asmall, permanent opening in the neck is a stoma. • Close the victim’s mouth and nose and breathe through the opening in the neck.

- 25. Airway Obstruction An objectlodged in the airway can cause a mild or severe airway obstruction.
- 26. Mild Airway Obstruction •Good air exchange present • Victim can make forceful coughing efforts. • Victim should be encouraged to cough.
- 27. Severe Airway Obstruction •Poor air exchange • Breathing becomes more difficult. • Weak and ineffective cough • Inability to speak or breathe • Skin, fingernail beds, and inside of mouth appear bluish gray.
- 28. Airway Obstruction ina Responsive Adult or Child (1 of 4) • Check the victim for choking. • Ask, “Are you okay?”
- 29. Airway Obstruction ina Responsive Adult or Child (2 of 4) • Perform the Heimlich maneuver by moving behind the victim. • Reach around the victim’s waist with both arms and locate the navel.
- 30. Airway Obstruction ina Responsive Adult or Child (3 of 4) • Place a fist with the thumb side against the victim’s abdomen, just above the navel.

- 32. Airway Obstruction inResponsive Infants (1 of 2) • Support the infant’s head and neck. • Lay the infant face down on the forearm. • Lower the arm to the leg. • Give five back blows between the shoulder blades with the heel of the hand.
- 33. Airway Obstruction inResponsive Infants (2 of 2) • Roll the infant face up. • Give five chest compressions on the infant’s sternum using two fingers. • Repeat until the object is removed or the infant becomes unresponsive.
