8. Cardio-cerebral Resuscitation (CCR) is also known as Continuous Chest Compression CPR (CCC-CPR)
Continuous Compressions are necessary to increase coronary perfusion pressures which increases return of spontaneous circulation (see previous slide)Cardio-cerebral Resuscitation (CCR) is also known as Continuous Chest Compression CPR (CCC-CPR)

34. Dr. Stiegler is working on a protocol for first responders and the general public related to AEDs and CCR.
It would be a political disaster for EMS if we told everyone AEDs are “useless” after so many people put so much money into them.Dr. Stiegler is working on a protocol for first responders and the general public related to AEDs and CCR.

36. In the first four minutes place an oral airway and non-rebreather mask at 15 liters per minute.
It will be important for EMTs and other responders to know how to change regulators on portable oxygen cylinders.In the first four minutes place an oral airway and non-rebreather mask at 15 liters per minute.

37. A moving ambulance = bad chest compressions (CC).
A likely scenario will be either transporting a patient with a pulse or termination of resuscitation efforts in the field after paramedics have arrived and provided their treatments with no success.A moving ambulance = bad chest compressions (CC).

Towards the end of the cycle (last 10-15 seconds) the Code Commander will charge the Defibrillator and be ready to evaluate the rhythm, shock and resume chest compressions.During a cycle of 200 compressions:

He hopes the training is passed on to ALL Paramedics (done), ALL EMTs (doing), ALL Police Officer, Firefighter, First Responders (coming soon) and the lay public as well.Dr. Stiegler has high expectations for this program.
