Use of an automated external defibrillator on an adult Revision history April 2003 Update "When to call for help" and the "ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths" have been removed from the knowledge evidence section and have instead been included in the performance criteria section. These modifications are minor and do not affect the guideline structure. Rather, the changes are intended to aid trainers in the assessment of a candidate's performance. The BLS/AED Subcommittee has also constructed some questions and expected responses that trainers may wish to use to establish a candidate's knowledge. July 2002 Update At its meeting in December 2001, the Resuscitation Council (UK) BLS/AED Subcommittee addressed a question on 'Resuscitation Guidelines 2000', namely: What should the (lone) rescuer do on return from getting help for the victim who has been assessed as not breathing? It was agreed that the rescuer should reassess the victim, starting with an assessment of responsiveness. Since publishing this advice, the matter has been discussed by the BLS Working Group of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC). This Group has recommended that, in the interest of starting resuscitation as quickly as possible, no reassessment should be carried out; the rescuer should open the airway and give two effective rescue breaths and then assess for signs of a circulation.

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.

However, no studies have been published on this subject. To determine whether withholding thrombolytic therapy is justified in this setting, Tenaglia and associates compared the outcome of patients who received CPR before or early in the course of thrombolytic therapy with the outcome of patients who did not receive CPR. Patients were drawn from the Thrombolysis and Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction trials. Of 708 patients, 59 required less than 10 minutes of CPR before receiving thrombolytic therapy or required CPR within six hours after treatment was started. (Patients who required more than 10 minutes of CPR were excluded from the study.) With regard to baseline demographics, patients who received CPR were similar to those who did not receive CPR. The most common indications for CPR were ventricular fibrillation (73 percent of patients) and ventricular tachycardia (24 percent of patients). The median duration of CPR was one minute, and the median number of cardioversions/defibrillations performed was two.

Cardiology Casebook is intended to enhance practitioners' knowledge and critical thinking. Stylized case studies are accompanied by self-assessment quizzes. We welcome letters to the editors regarding this feature. A 50-year-old suddenly collapsed while man standing in the waiting area of a local hospital. A physician walking by promptly determined, by the absence of carotid pulses, that cardiac activity had ceased. He then quickly removed a Swiss Army knife that he kept in his trouser pocket, made several chest wall precordial incisions to expose the heart, which he found to be in standstill, and initiated hand compression cardiac massage (all within 3 minutes of the event). Cardiac contractions promptly returned and the patient started to breathe. The patient was immediately taken to surgery and the chest wounds were cleansed and repaired. Subsequent chest wall and pericardial infections were treated using drains and intensive parenteral antibiotics: the patient recovered and was discharged 3 weeks after the event.

PUBLICATIONS Cost-effectiveness of training unselected laypersons in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation Center for Health Policy/Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research , Journal Article Authors: Groeneveld PW Douglas K. Owens Published by American Journal of Medicine, Volume 118, 1, page(s) 58-67 January 2005 PURPOSE: The cost-effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation training for laypersons unselected for risk of encountering cases of cardiac arrest is not known. We compared the costs and health benefits of alternative resuscitation training strategies for adults without professional first-responder duties who are at average risk of encountering cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS: We constructed a cost-effectiveness analytic model. Data on cardiac arrest epidemiology and the effectiveness of CPR/defibrillation training were obtained from the medical literature. Instructional costs were determined from a survey of training programs. Downstream cardiac arrest survivor quality-adjusted life expectancy and long-term health care costs were derived from prior studies. We compared three strategies for training unselected laypersons: CPR/defibrillation training alone, training combined with home defibrillator purchase, and no training. The main outcome measures were total instructional costs for trainees combined with health care costs for additional cardiac arrest survivors, and quality-adjusted survival for additional patients resuscitated by trainees.

96. CPR (cpr) (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). (cpr)Adult Victim. If, during the primarysurvey, you determine that the victim is not breathing, give 2 slow breaths, http://library.thinkquest.org/10624/cpr.html

Perhaps the most frightening thing for a rescue worker is to have a victim's heart stop. CPR, which stands for c ardio p ulmonary r esucitation, is the technique that has been developed for a first aid provider in that unenviable position. Some unpleasant CPR facts: One should remember that CPR is almost never successful . When a victims heart is restarted, it is usually due to the arrival of more professional equipment, for example, a defibrillator, which electrically shocks the heart into starting again. (These are familiar to most people who watch ER as those paddles that Carter got shocked with, and as those things whose use is usually preceeded by the word "CLEAR!") Also, in the course of CPR, the victim's ribs are almost invariably broken. This is why the Good Samaritan Act is so important; if you break someone's ribs in trying to save their life, they can't survive and $ue you for your college tuition. Of course, we must not forget that the Good Samaritan Act is only in effect if you are Officially Certified!!

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2005 Active chest compression-decompression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (Cochrane Review) Lafuente-Lafuente C, Melero-Bascones M ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 01 August 2004. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACDR CPR) uses a hand-held suction device, applied mid sternum, to compress the chest then actively decompress the chest after each compression. Randomised controlled trials on use of active compression decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation have results which are discordant. Objectives: To determine clinical effects and safety of active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared with standard manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (STR). Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE and EMBASE. Last search was conducted in January 2004. We checked the reference list of retrieved articles and contacted enterprises manufacturing the active decompression devices.
