What are the steps in the three-person log roll?

(Step 1: Person 1: Kneel above the patient's head and keep their head stabilized. Person 2: Kneel at the patient's waist and straighten both of their legs and arms. Have the arm, nearest to person 2, lifted above the patient's head and have the other arm palm up beside them. Person 3: Kneel at the patient's knees. Step 2: Person 1: Have hands position in anticipation of rotation. Person 2: Put a hand on the shoulder and wrist farthest away from person 2. Person 3: Put hands holding the hips and ankles furthest away from person 3. Step 3: Person 1: Countdown to begin the log roll. Person 2 and 3: Slowly roll the patient to the opposite direction of the initial head position. Step 4: Person 1: Stabilize and maintain the patient's rotating torso. Person 1,2 and 3: Continue the log roll until the patient is facing upwards.)

What are the steps in AED?

(Step 1: Do CPR. 30 compressions and 2 breaths. Step 2: Turn the AED on and make sure the chest is bare. Step 3: Then attach the electrode pads to the patient. One pad on the right clavicle and beside the patient's sternum. The other pad on the left side of the ribs and a few inches below the armpit. Step 4: The AED will automatically analyze a patient's heart rhythm. Step 5: It will alert to shock or not. Step 6: Resume back to CPR if it does need a shock. Stand clear if it did advise a shock. Step 7: Resume back to CPR once shock is given. Step 8: Continue until the voice instructions says to stop, the patient moves, or it says otherwise.)

Fill in the Blank(s): After ________ to ________ minutes without a(n) ________ or ________, the brain does not receive the oxygen it needs, and the brain cells begin to die.

4/6/pulse/respirations

Define: Circulation, Airway, Breathing (CAB)

CPR's first steps

What is the importance of early access to AED?

Early access improves survival rate.

TRUE/FALSE If a spinal injury is suspected, the patient must remain face-down.

False

TRUE/FALSE If you must begin ventilating for a patient without a mask, obtain a mask as soon as you can.

False

TRUE/FALSE If you recognize full arrest and begin CPR an hour later, you can save the patient from biological death.

False

TRUE/FALSE To get food or another substance out of a patient's throat, you can just press on the stomach and the food or other substance will most likely come out.

False

TRUE/FALSE Trainers and student trainers do not have to be certified in CPR.

False

How many compressions and breaths need to be given during CPR?

Give 30 compression and 2 rescue breaths.

What maneuver is used when the airway is obstructed?

Head-Tilt, Chin-Lift

How do you do the Head-Tilt, Chin-Lift?

One hand on the patient's forehead and the fingertips of the other hand under the chin. (Tilt the head back and lift the chin up.)

Put the steps of giving basic life support in order. - Use the cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure by using the combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions. - Clear an obstructed airway by using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. - Lastly use the automated external defibrillator as soon as possible.

Step 1: Clear an obstructed airway by using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Step 2: Use the cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure by using the combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions. Step 3: Lastly use the automated external defibrillator as soon as possible.

What is the purpose of basic life support?

Treating and recognizing breathing difficulties and cardiac arrest.

TRUE/FALSE A person who is choking usually grabs the throat.

True

TRUE/FALSE In the log roll, as long as you are able to roll the patient over, you have no chance of getting hurt.

True

TRUE/FALSE The best and safest method of opening a child's or adult's airway when a spine injury is not present or suspected is the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver.

True

When do you do CPR on a patient?

When the patient is unresponsive and not breathing.

Define: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

a lifesaving procedure combining rescue breathing and chest breathing

Define: Head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver

a procedure for opening a blocked airway (a patients head is tilted back and the chin is lifted)

Define: Chain of Survival

a sequence of actions that reduces the mortality rate of cardiac arrest

Define: Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

a small, portable device that analyzes the heart rhythm, alerts the rescuer, and provides the necessary shock

Define: Cardiac arrest

absence of heartbeat

Fill in the Blank(s): AED stands for ________ _________ ________.

automated external defibrillator

Fill in the Blank(s): When the brain cells die, it is called ________ ________.

biological death

Define: Xiphoid process

bony tip of the sternum

Fill in the Blank(s): The absence of a heartbeat is called ________ _______.

cardiac arrest

Define: Back of tongue

epiglottis

Define: Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

heartbeat stops beating suddenly (can cause death)

Define: Good Samaritan Laws

legal protection for people who give reasonable assistance to the injured, ill, peril, or incapacitated

Define: Supine

lying on the back

Define: Log roll

procedure used to turn a patient over

Define: Obstructed airway maneuver

quick upward thrust against a patient's abdomen (removes obstructions and an open airway from the mouth/nose to the lungs)

Define: Chest Compressions

repeated and controlled pressure in the sternum of a cardiac arrest victim (allows oxygen to move throughout the body)

Fill in the Blank(s): When both ________ and ________ cease, the patient experiences clinical death.

respirations/pulse

Define: Trachea

windpipe
