First Aid kits Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR is an emergency life-support procedure. It includes artificial respiration and manual cardiac massage . Both these procedures are applied to prevent irreversible brain damage or death in the case of cardiac arrest. They should be performed only by someone trained in the technique after making sure that the victim's heart has stopped or respiration has ceased. The first step is to check if a victim's pulse has stopped and then to check the pulse rate in the neck or groin. If no pulse can be felt the rescuer can assume that the victim's heart has stopped and start CPR at once if he is properly trained. If untrained in CPR one should seek emergency medical help as soon as possible. Those who are performing the CPR may shout out to someone nearby to call for medical help. Artificial Respiration The first step in CPR is to give artificial respiration. Artificial respiration is a lifesaving method used to restore breathing to a person whose breathing has stopped. If breathing has stopped, the victim will soon become unconscious. There will be no chest movement, and the skin will be pale or a slightly bluish colour. When breathing stops there is no oxygenation of the blood and irreversible brain damage or death may occur in as little as three to six minutes. Therefore it is important to start artificial respiration as soon as possible and continue until medical help arrives. If breathing restarts and becomes regular, the victim should be observed continuously until medical help arrives.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is administered when someone's breathing or pulse stops. If both have stopped, then sudden death has occurred. While some of the causes of sudden death include poisoning, drowning, choking, suffocation, electrocution, or smoke inhalation, the most common cause is from heart attack. What are the symptoms of a heart attack? The following are the most common symptoms of a heart attack. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: severe pressure, fullness, squeezing, pain and/or discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes

The American Heart Association and the American Red Cross offer courses in CPR. All family members should take one of these courses. You should have both your skill in and your knowledge of CPR tested at least once a year. A. Airway If you find a collapsed person, determined if the victim is unconscious. If there is no response, shout for help. Call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number. If the victim is not lying flat on his or her back, roll the victim over, moving the entire body at one time as a unit. Open the victim's airway. Lift up the chin gently with one hand while pushing down on the forehead with the other to tilt the head back. NECK INJURY: If the victim may have suffered a neck injury - in a diving or automobile accident for example - open the airway using the chin-lift without tilting the head back. If the airway remains blocked, tilt the head slowly and gently until the airway is open.

Illustration Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) What is CPR? CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Cardio refers to the heart. Pulmonary refers to the lungs. CPR is a way to give oxygen and keep the heart pumping when it has stopped beating. It is an emergency procedure that can save the life of someone whose heart has stopped beating and who is not breathing. When is it used? Almost 75% of cardiac arrests occur in the home. When someone has a cardiac arrest, the heart stops beating. When this happens, someone should call 911 and then the victim should be given CPR until he or she starts breathing or emergency medical help arrives. If CPR is not done, the person can have brain damage or die in 5 to 10 minutes. What happens during CPR? CPR is done by blowing air into a person's lungs with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and by pushing on their chest. The mouth-to-mouth resuscitation gives the person some oxygen and pushing on the chest pumps the heart to keep blood flowing. Here are the steps: Call 911.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) As much as we try to protect our pets, accidents do happen. So, it is important to be as prepared as reasonably possible. One way to be prepared is to know how to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR is an emergency technique used to help someone whose heart and/or breathing has stopped. Although somewhat modified, the same techniques used for people – rescue breathing and chest compressions – can be used to help treat an animal in distress. The first lesson to know about CPR is that it doesn't restart a stopped heart. The purpose of CPR, in both humans and animals, is to keep them alive until the heart begins beating on its own or a cardiac defibrillator can be used. In people, about 15 percent of those getting CPR actually survive. In animals, CPR is frequently unsuccessful, even if performed by a trained veterinarian. Even so, attempting CPR will give your pet a fighting chance CPR should be performed until you have reached a veterinary hospital The Heimlich maneuver can be practiced on mannequin dogs, and cats.

Are we required to provide full cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) for our LTC unit if we provide it for our acute units? Response from AMDA President Keith Rapp, MD, CMD: I don't have specific regulations to cite, but a similar situation exists in my practice. We have a skilled nursing unit (SNF) that is part of the hospital, but in our case it is located at a separate location with a psych unit away from the main hospital. We provide different levels of resuscitation services at each location. For example, we do not have cardioversion capabilities at our SNF/psych location. When an emergency occurs we call 911 and have the patient transferred to the acute care ER. We do initiate basic CPR unless there is a specific no-code order in the chart. I feel it is reasonable to have different levels of care available on different units of a hospital, but when the needs of an individual exceed the resources of the unit, the resources need to be brought to the patient or the patient needs to be moved to the resourcesunless there has been a decision to not utilize a certain level of care or there would be no benefit in the treatment.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Cardiopulmonary resuscitation Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency first aid This article is about the concept of first aid. A First Aid textbook on the practice of first aid is under development at Encyclopedia textbooks . First aid is a series of simple, life-saving medical techniques that a non-doctor or layman can be trained to perform in medical emergency situations, before the intervention of emergency medical technicians or doctors. It is best to obtain training in first aid before a medical emergency occurs. Supplies useful in giving first aid are often kept together in a first aid kit.

It is a response to a condition known as cardiac arrest A cardiac arrest which is also called clinical death is an absence of systole: that is, the failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract. Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening medical emergency that will lead to true death within minutes. Causes In healthy adults, cardiac arrest is often caused by ventricular fibrillation during a heart attack. The resultant lack of blood supply results in cell death from oxygen starvation and to the death of the individual if resuscitation procedures are not carried out within minutes.
