End-of-Life Care: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Printer-friendly version Email this article When is CPR important? CPR may be done when a person stops breathing or the heart stops beating (like when a person has a heart attack). When it's possible that the person may get better, CPR is important. However, when a patient has an advanced life-threatening illness (such as cancer) and is dying, CPR may not be the option to choose. It's important for the patient, family members and doctor to talk about this issue before the need arises. Return to top What happens during CPR? During CPR, the chest is pressed on forcefully. Electric stimulation to the chest and special medicines are sometimes used. This is usually done for 15 to 30 minutes. A tube may also be put through the mouth or nose into the lung. This tube is then connected to a breathing machine. Return to top What happens if CPR isn't done?

Figure A: The victim should be flat on his back and his mouth should be checked for debris. Figure B: If the victim is unconscious, open airway, lift neck, and tilt head back. Figure C: If victim is not breathing, begin artificial breathing with 4 quick full breaths. Figure D: Check for carotid pulse. Figure E: If pulse is absent, begin artificial circulation by depressing sternum. Figure F: Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation of an infant. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure to support and maintain breathing and circulation on a person who has stopped breathing (respiratory arrest) and/or whose heart has stopped (cardiac arrest). Purpose CPR is performed to restore and maintain breathing and circulation and to provide oxygen and blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs. It should be performed if a person is unconscious and not breathing. Respiratory and cardiac arrest can be caused by allergic reactions, an ineffective heartbeat, asphyxiation, breathing passages that are blocked, choking , drowning, drug reactions or overdoses, electric shock, exposure to cold, severe shock, or trauma. CPR can be performed by trained bystanders or healthcare professionals on infants, children, and adults. It should always be performed by the person on the scene who is most experienced in CPR.

KidsHealth Parents Emergencies: What to Do Every parent should know how and when to administer CPR. When performed correctly, CPR can save a child's life by restoring breathing and circulation until advanced life support can be given by medical care providers. What Is CPR? The letters in CPR stand for cardiopulmonary resuscitation , a combination of rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) and chest compressions. If a child isn't breathing or circulating blood adequately, CPR can restore circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Without oxygen, permanent brain damage or death can occur in less than 8 minutes. CPR may be necessary for children during many different emergencies, including accidents, near-drowning , suffocation, poisoning, smoke inhalation, electrocution injuries, and suspected sudden infant death syndrome ( SIDS Reading about CPR and learning when it's needed will give you a basic understanding of the procedure, but it's strongly recommended that you learn how to perform CPR by taking a course. If CPR is needed, using the correct technique will give your child the best chance of recovery. When Is CPR Needed?

Handbook for Mortals : Resuscitation (CPR) Decisions about resuscitation (CPR) When a person's circulation stops, death occurs. If someone's heart stops, he or she will die unless circulation is restarted quickly. Since a person's sudden collapse must be addressed so quickly, many people are trained to make the efforts needed to restart circulation right away. And, usually, treatment is what people in the community would want. However, when you are seriously ill, you may find this procedure, called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to be worthless or even deeply disturbing. While you may be grateful for the time you have, or at least willing to endure whatever time fate hands out, you might well not want someone to disrupt your time of death with a flurry of activity that is doomed to have little effect.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) What is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? CPR is the combination of life saving measures performed to restart the lung (pulmonary) and heart (cardiovascular) functions in a patient who has stopped breathing and/or whose heart has stopped beating (cardiac arrest). The measures were developed to simultaneously support a patient's airway, breathing and circulation. They include: pushing down on the chest to pump blood out of the heart into the body (chest compressions), attempting to restore the heart rhythm to normal (via electric shock [defibrillation] or pacemaker), and artificial respiration using a facemask or breathing (endotracheal) tube. Medications are also given intravenously during CPR. Is CPR performed on every patient in the hospital or ICU when their heart or lungs stop working? In general, yes, unless a patient or family member informs the doctor that they do not want CPR. This discussion should take place between the patient or family member and the doctor prior to an unexpected event. A written order in the medical record from the doctor is required to withhold CPR. Too often the patient or responsible party and doctor do not clearly communicate about the issue of CPR. It is extremely important for the doctors and nurses to know the patient's wishes regarding CPR in the event or a heart or lung arrest. We encourage the patient and/or family to initiate the discussion regarding CPR with the doctor.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other meanings of CPR, see CPR (disambiguation) . A summary of this page can be found at CPR summary CPR on adult Cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR ), is emergency first aid for an unconscious person on whom breathing and pulse cannot be detected. The medical term for this condition is cardiac arrest or, if the patient still has a pulse, respiratory arrest (the combined term cardiorespiratory arrest is also used). The most common treatable cause of cardiac arrest outside of a hospital is a heart attack leading to a heart rhythm disturbance . CPR can be used for cardiac or respiratory arrest due to drowning drug overdoses and poisoning electrocution and any other conditions featuring similar symptoms. Even when performed correctly, CPR can injure the person it is performed on. This is a normal occurrence, and one should realize that it is more important to keep a person's body tissues perfused with oxygen than to refrain from performing CPR out of fear of causing rib fractures or other minor damage. CPR is also never guaranteed to save someone's life. CPR should only be performed on a person in cardiac arrest (no signs of circulation) or on a CPR manikin. Those wishing to learn and perform CPR should take CPR training from a qualified instructor. Reading the Wikipedia is not a substitute for first aid training. Moreover, since the Wikipedia may be altered by anyone at any time, some parts of the article may be inaccurate. Contents

Search September 19, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Public Health Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) The Importance of CPR Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the United States. Each year, almost half a million Americans die from a heart attack. Half of these, or one quarter of a million people, will die suddenly, outside of the hospital, because their heart stops beating. The most common cause of death from a heart attack in adults is a disturbance in the electrical rhythm of the heart called ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation can be treated, but it requires applying an electrical shock to the chest called defibrillation. If a defibrillator is not readily available, brain death will occur in less than 10 minutes. One way of buying time until a defibrillator becomes available is to provide artificial breathing and circulation by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. The earlier you give CPR to a person in cardiopulmonary arrest (no breathing, no heartbeat), the greater the chance of a successful resuscitation. By performing CPR, you keep oxygenated blood flowing to the heart and brain until a defibrillator becomes available.

The purpose of these guidelines is to outline legal and ethical standards for planning patient care and decision making in relation to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Introduction Why policies are needed Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be attempted on any person whose cardiac or respiratory functions cease. Failure of these functions is part of dying and thus CPR can theoretically be attempted on every individual prior to death. But because for every person there comes a time when death is inevitable, it is essential to identify patients for whom cardiopulmonary arrest represents a terminal event in their illness and in whom attempted CPR is inappropriate. It is also essential to identify those patients who do not want CPR to be attempted and who competently refuse it.
