Why Do I Need To Learn CPR?

Why is CPR important?

• Every year, thousands of Canadians die from

cardiac arrest because they don't receive

medical treatment fast enough.

• Eight in 10 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests

occur at home and citizen CPR response is

available in only about 15 per cent of cases.

• Survival rates could be almost four times higher

with citizen CPR, according to a landmark study

in the New England Journal of Medicine.

• With most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests

occurring at home, early recognition of a cardiac

emergency by a family member, early access to

medical help (calling 911) and early citizen CPR

are critical to saving lives.

• Learning CPR is easy and takes only

a few hours.

What do students learn through the

program? • Through the ACT High School CPR Program, all students

learn the 4 Rs of CPR:

• RISK factors for cardiovascular disease and the importance of adopting a heart healthy lifestyle.

• How to RECOGNIZE a developing medical emergency.

• How to REACT, by calling 911 quickly and how to help while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

• How to RESUSCITATE, or perform CPR.

What is Cardiac Arrest?

What is CPR?

What is Defibrillation?


And… What is a Stroke?

RISK

FACTORS

And now, the 4 Rs…


Smoking

• Causes lung cancer

• Leading cause of heart disease in Canada

• Second-hand air pollution

• Stinky breath

RISK FACTORS

High Blood Cholesterol


• Means lots of fat in the blood

• Some fat is produced by the body;

other fat comes from food

• Too much cholesterol can cause

heart disease or stroke

• What you can do: Eat vegetables, fruits & grain

products; reduce fat in diet; exercise!

RISK FACTORS

High Blood Pressure


• Can damage your heart and blood vessels

• Increases chances of a heart attack or stroke

• Heart has to work harder

• Some causes: hereditary,

diet, stress

• Get it checked regularly!

RISK FACTORS

Blood pressure cuff

Diabetes


• Affects the level of sugar and fat in your blood

• Eat properly, follow doctor’s instructions

RISK FACTORS

Obesity and Lack of Exercise

See page 6-7, Student Manual

• Obesity: Heart has to pump harder all the

time to move blood around

• Exercise: Your heart is a muscle - it works

better if you keep fit & active!

RISK FACTORS

Stress


• Affects the body in very

physical ways

• Stress over a long period of

time can cause body to

break down

• Heart problems may result

RESUSCITATE

When should I use an AED?

If a person is …

• Unresponsive

• Not breathing

• Appears to be 8+ years or 55+ lbs (25+ kg)

How the AED Works

In Ventricular Fibrillation heart muscles become all “squirmy”

... they don’t pump blood properly

The AED recognizes that and shocks the heart

... often that fixes the problem

Ventricular Fibrillation

Shock Delivered

Heart Recovery

Normal Sinus Rhythm

RESUSCITATE

RESUSCITATE

How to use an AED

•Continue CPR until someone

brings you the AED

•Place the AED right beside you

•Turn on AED

•Make sure someone continues

CPR while you follow AED prompts

RESUSCITATE

How to use an AED

• Once pads are properly applied,

AED will tell you to stop CPR and

not touch the patient

• It will start “analyzing heart

rhythm” to see if it needs to shock

the person

• If it sees a shockable rhythm, the

AED will tell you: “shock advised”

Choking – Adult Conscious

Step 1. Assess the airway blockage

Step 2. Holler for help
