The heart is a muscular organ in humans and other animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. The blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as removing metabolic wastes. The heart is located in the middle compartment of the chest (mediastinum)

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S., and many times the first indication of this disease is an acute coronary event
Cardiac arrest is the most severe manifestation of an acute coronary syndrome, and with rapid intervention EMS providers can make the difference between life and death

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart stops beating, abruptly and without warning. If this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.

SCA :accounts for more than 350,000 deaths in the U.S. each year and is one of the leading causes of death in the United States each year.
In fact, SCA claims one life every 90 seconds, taking more lives each year than breast cancer, lung cancer or AIDS.
Unfortunately, 95 percent of people who experience SCA die as a result, mainly because treatment within minutes is not accessible.

Lack of circulation :absence of a palpable pulse
the patient will be unconscious and will have stopped breathing/abnormal breathing.
Diagnosis: cardiac arrest is usually diagnosed clinically by
the absence of a pulse. In many cases lack of carotid pulse is the gold standard .
The current recommendation of ILCOR is that cardiac arrest should be diagnosed in all casualties who are unconscious and not breathing normally.

Who have had a heart attack (myocardial infarction) Who have experienced heart failure (poor pumping
heart) Who have survived a previous sudden cardiac arrest With a family history of sudden cardiac arrest With a low ejection fraction smoking, lack of physical exercise, obesity, diabetes
and family history.

50-80%: VF and PULSLESS VT
20-30%: Asystole, severe bradycardia and pulseless electrical activity

Few cardiac arrest patients survive outside a hospital without a rapid sequence of events.◦ Chain of survival:
Early recognition and activation of EMS Immediate bystander CPR Early defibrillation Early advanced cardiac life support Integrated post-arrest care

Why is CPR Important◦ Studies have shown that the general population
will start CPR only 1/3 of the time and only 15% of that total is done correctly
◦ Chest Compressions can be started within 18 seconds of arriving at the patient, whereas airway management first can delay compressions by 1-2 minutes or more
◦ CPR prolongs the period during which defibrillation can be effective

Ventricular fibrillation is the most frequent rhythm found in cardiac arrest
Defibrillation is the most effective treatment for VF
Probability of successful defibrillation diminishes with time
VF will lead to asystole quickly without proper treatment

1. Make sure the scene is SAFE!2. Check responsiveness and breathing3. If alone call 9-1-1(1122) and get an AED4. Check for a pulse and if no pulse present
begin CPR Always start CPR with Compressions First!

Always start CPR with Compressions First!
Push hard and fast Rate should be at least 100 per minute Provide 30 compressions then 2 breaths Make sure the chest is allowed to re-expand
completely at the end of each compression

5. Open the airway with head tilt-chin lift6. Place the mask on the patient’s face7. Use the E-C clamp technique8. Deliver each breath over 1 second

Head tilt and chin lift- lay rescuers
- non-healthcare rescuers
No need for finger sweep unless solid can be seen
in the airway

• Some differences between pediatric BLS and adult BLS
• Chest compression depth –at least 1/3 of the anteriorposterior diameter of chest
–Infants: about 1½ inches –Children: about 2 inches • Lone rescuer provides 2 minutes of CPR
before activating emergency response

• Two rescuers use 15:2 compression to ventilation ratio
• Traditional CPR (compressions and ventilations) by
Xiphoid process
