@import url(../../styles.css); Resources Fact Sheets Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Many people find it difficult to consider even the possibility of witnessing a sudden death. Few know what to do if such a situation occurs. Lives are lost daily nationwide from incidents involving heart attack, drowning, choking or electric shock. The steps taken to aid the victim seconds following such an incident can mean the difference between life and death. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the best training to have to try to help someone in an extreme situation when that person has stopped breathing and their circulation has stopped. Learning this basic first-aid technique can help you give a friend, a loved one or a stranger a second chance for life. The heart and lungs work together to circulate oxygen throughout your body. If your brain is deprived of oxygen more than four minutes, there's a good chance you'll suffer brain damage. After 10 minutes, your chances of surviving drop to one in 100. The CPR method taught is a three-step process which is as simple as ABC . The rescuer must first establish an open Airway before determining if the victim can breathe or before breathing for him. If the victim is not breathing, the rescuer must start rescue

Resuscitation measures take the form of basic cardiac life support (BCLS) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Basic Cardiac Life Support is the external support of circulation and ventilation via artificial respiration, e.g., mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mask, mouth-to-nose, etc., and chest compressions. Advanced Cardiac Life Support includes BCLS and the use of adjunctive equipment and techniques to establish and maintain effective ventilation and circulation, to monitor the disrhythmia, to establish IV access, and to provide therapies for patients with cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest and acute myocardial infarction. Since the development of chest compressions more than thirty-five years ago, CPR techniques have not changed significantly. The 1974 standards for cardiopulmonary resuscitation described CPR as a series of medical interventions "administered to reverse unexpected cardiac or pulmonary arrest in order to prevent sudden unexpected death" (emphasis added). Thus, CPR was intended to be used with patients who were otherwise in good physiological condition.

HOME Distinguished professor of resuscitation medicine to speak at Honors Convocation Peter J. Safar By David R. Eltz It could be said that anyone who suffers cardiac arrest and is kept alive with CPR, is rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, and is nursed back to health in an ICU owes his or her life to Peter J. Safar. Safar is the son of an ophthalmic surgeon father and a pediatrician mother who grew up knowing he would become a doctor. After being conscripted into the German army during World War II, only to desert and spend the next few years hiding among members of the Austrian resistance, Safar earned his M.D. at the University of Vienna in 1948, then headed to the United States in 1949 to pursue a surgical fellowship at Yale University. The anesthesiologists of the 1950s, Safar says, were activists who realized that the methods they learned to keep anesthetized patients alive during surgery could and should also be applied to nonsurgical cases. With this in mind, Safar struck out on his own. He quickly established an anesthesiology department in 1952 at the National Cancer Institute in Lima, Peru. By 1955, he established another, this time at Baltimore City Hospital, now Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. While he was not in the lab, Safar was forming the first medical-surgical, physician-staffed intensive care unit in the United States, at Baltimore City Hospital, in 1958. At the same time, he designed the prototype of the modern ambulance.

Selected References INTRODUCTION 1. Define cardiopulmonary arrest and list the three phases. Cardiopulmonary arrest is defined as the abrupt unexpected cessation of spontaneous and effective ventilation and systemic perfusion (circulation). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provides artificial ventilation and circulation until advanced life support can be provided and spontaneous circulation and ventilation can be restored. CPR is divided into three support stages: Basic life support Advanced life support Prolonged life support. Return to Table of Contents RISK FACTORS 1. Which animals are at risk to suffer cardiopulmonary arrest and what are the predisposing factors? Cardiopulmonary arrest is usually the result of a cardiac dysrhythmia. This arrest may be the result of primary cardiac disease or diseases which affect other organs. In animals, arrest most frequently occurs with diseases of the respiratory system (pneumonia, laryngeal paralysis, neoplasia, thoracic effusions, and aspiration pneumonitis), as a result of severe multisystem disease, trauma, and following cardiac dysrhythmias.

There are, however, several other aspects of CPR where ethical concerns are not adequately addressed. In the context of this discussion, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders are instructions that, in the case of cardiac arrest, CPR is not to be attempted.

Prevention CPR Definition: CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure that is performed when a person's own breathing or heartbeat have stopped, such as in cases of electric shock or drowning. CPR is a combination of rescue breathing, which provides oxygen to the victim's lungs, and chest compressions, which keep oxygenated blood circulating until an effective heartbeat and breathing can be restored. Permanent brain damage or death can occur within minutes if blood flow ceases. Therefore, it is critical that blood flow and breathing be continued until trained medical help arrives. CPR techniques vary slightly depending on the age or size of the victim.

Even when performed correctly, CPR can injure the person it is performed on (this is normal, and people should not hesitate to do CPR out of the fear of hurting someone as someone in cardiac arrest does need CPR) and it is 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.

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.
