  1. Provider Course CPR/AED Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with Automated External Defibrillator

  2. Objectives • At the end of this course participants should be able to demonstrate: • How to assess the collapsed victim • How to perform chest compression and rescue breathing (CPR) • How to operate an automated external defibrillator safely • How to place an unconscious breathing victim in the recovery position

  3. Background • In Europe every 45 seconds a cardiac arrest takes place • Bystander CPR is a vital intervention before arrival of emergency services • Early resuscitation and prompt defibrillation (within 1-2 minutes) can result in >60% survival

  4. Chain of survival

  5. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  6. Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  7. Check response Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  8. Check response • Shake shoulders gently • Ask “Are you all right?” • If he responds • Leave as you find him. • Find out what is wrong. • Reassess regularly.

  9. Shout for help Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  10. Open airway Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  11. Check breathing Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  12. Check breathing • Look, listen and feel for NORMAL breathing

  13. Abnormal breathing • Occurs shortly after the heart stops in up to 40% of cardiac arrests • Described as barely, heavy, noisy or gasping breathing • Recognise as a sign of cardiac arrest

  14. Call 112 Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  15. 30 Chest compressions Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  16. Chest compressions • Place the heel of one hand in the centre of the chest • Place other hand on top • Interlock fingers or avoid putting pressure on the side of the chest • Compress the chest • Rate 100 – 120 min-1 • Depth 5 – 6 cm • Equal compression : relaxation • When possible change CPR operator every 2 min

  17. 2 Rescue breaths Approach safely Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  18. Rescue breaths • Pinch the nose • Take a normal breath • Place lips over mouth • Blow until the chest rises • Take about 1 second • Allow chest to fall • Repeat

  19. Continue CPR 30 2

  20. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 30 chest compressions 2 rescue breaths

  21. Defibrillation

  22. Approach safely Check response Shout for help Open airway Check breathing Call 112 Attach AED Follow voice prompts

  23. Switch on AED • Some AEDs will automatically switch themselves on when the lid is opened

  24. Attach pads to victims bare chest

  25. Analysing Rhythm: Do not touch victim

  26. Shock indicated • Stand clear • Deliver shock

  27. Shock delivered: Follow AED instructions 30 2

  28. No shock advised: Follow AED instructions 30 2

  29. If victim starts to breathe normally place in recovery position

  30. CPR in children • Adult CPR techniques can be used on children • Compressions at least 1/3 of the depth of the chest

  31. AED in children • Age > 8 years • use adult AED • Age 1-8 years • use paediatric pads / settings if available (otherwise use adult mode) • Age < 1 year • use only if manufacturer instructions indicate it is safe

  32. Any questions?
