1、Unit 12,Emergency Medicine,Questions to consider:,1.If someone fainted in front of you,what would you do?2.Do you have any knowledge about first aid?3.What do you know about cardiac resuscitation?,Cardiopulmonary resuscitation,Definition Cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)is a procedure to support an
2、d maintain breathing and circulation for a person who has stopped breathing(respiratory arrest)and/or whose heart has stopped(cardiac arrest).Cardiopulmonary resuscitation,commonly called CPR,combines rescue breathing(one person breathing into another person)and chest compression in a lifesaving pro
3、cedure performed when a person has stopped breathing or a persons heart has stopped beating.,The medical term for the condition in which a persons heart has stopped is cardiac arrest(also referred to as cardiorespiratory arrest).CPR is used on patients in cardiac arrest in order to oxygenate the blo
4、od and maintain a cardiac output to keep vital organs alive.If the patient still has a pulse,but is not breathing,this is called respiratory arrest and artificial respiration is more appropriate.However,since people often have difficulty detecting a pulse,CPR may be used in both cases,especially whe
5、n taught as first aid.,Cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)is an emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest or,in some circumstances,respiratory arrest.CPR is performed in hospitals,or in the community by laypersons or by emergency response professionals.,Description CPR is part of the
6、 emergency cardiac care system designed to save lives.Many deaths can be prevented by prompt recognition of the problem and notification of the emergency medical system(EMS),followed by early CPR,defibrillation(which delivers a brief electric shock to the heart in attempt to get the heart to beat no
7、rmally),and advanced cardiac life support measures.,CPR must be performed within four to six minutes after cessation of breathing so as to prevent brain damage or death.It is a two-part procedure that involves rescue breathing and external chest compressions.To provide oxygen to a persons lungs,the
8、rescuer administers mouth-to-mouth breaths,then helps circulate blood through the heart to vital organs by external chest compressions.,When performed by a bystander,CPR is designed to support and maintain breathing and circulation until emergency medical personnel arrive and take over.When performe
9、d by healthcare personnel,it is used in conjunction with other basic and advanced life support measures.,According to the American Heart Association,early CPR and defibrillation combined with early advanced emergency care can increase survival rates for people with a type of abnormal heart beat call
10、ed ventricular fibrillation by as much as 40%.CPR by bystanders may prolong life during deadly ventricular fibrillation,giving emergency medical service personnel time to arrive.,However,many CPR attempts are not ultimately successful in restoring a person to a good quality of life.Often,there is br
11、ain damage even if the heart starts beating again.CPR is therefore not generally recommended for the chronically or terminally ill or frail elderly.For these people,it represents a traumatic and not a peaceful end of life.,Purpose When performed quickly enough,CPR can save lives in such emergencies
12、as loss of consciousness,heart attacks or heart arrests,electric shock,drowning,excessive bleeding,drug overdose,and other conditions in which there is no breathing or no pulse.The purpose of CPR is to bring oxygen to the victims lungs and to keep blood circulating so oxygen gets to every part of th
13、e body.When a person is deprived of oxygen,permanent brain damage can begin in as little as four minutes and death can follow only minutes later.,There are three physical symptoms that indicate a need for CPR to be performed immediately and for emergency medical support to be called:unconsciousness,
14、not breathing,and no pulse detected.,Unconsciousness Unconsciousness is when the victim seems to be asleep but has lost all awareness and is not able to respond to questions or to touch or gentle shaking.An unconscious person will not respond to noise or shaking.When unconscious,a person can not cou
15、gh or clear the throat,which can block the windpipe and cause suffocation and death.People with a major illness or injury or who have had recent surgery are at risk for losing consciousness.,If the person has fainted,which is brief unconsciousness,the cause may be dehydration(lack of body fluids),lo
16、w blood pressure,or low blood sugar.This is a temporary condition.If the victim is known to have diabetes,a bit of fruit juice may revive the person once they have regained consciousness.,Not Breathing Not breathing,which is also called apnea,is the lack of spontaneous breathing.It requires immediat
17、e medical attention.The victim may become limp and lifeless,have a seizure,or turn blue.Prolonged apnea is called respiratory arrest.In children,this can lead quickly to cardiac arrest in which the heart stops beating.In adults,cardiac arrest usually happens first and then respiratory arrest.,The co
18、mmon causes of apnea in adults are obstructive sleep apnea(something blocks the airway during sleep),choking,drug overdose,near-drowning,head injury,heart irregularities(arrhythmia,fibrillation)or cardiac arrest,nervous system disorders,or metabolic disorders.In children the causes may be different,
