Good evening everybody.Today my hospital and my department drill code CPR and Basic Life Support.I’m think it very better for all staff to learning and safety.👉In the algorithm for adult basic life support, emphasis is placed upon immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and the implementation of efficient compressions and early defibrillation. To immediately recognize cardiac arrest, the healthcare provider is trained to assess for unresponsiveness and/or an absence of breathing or presence of abnormal breath sounds. Laypersons should be instructed to use hands-only CPR. This approach calls for continuous compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute.
CPR should be continued by a healthcare provider until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or until termination of efforts. High quality CPR emphasizes adequate depth and number of chest compressions.
The pulse check has been deemphasized, and the guidelines recommend a pulse check for no less than 5 seconds and no more than 10 seconds. An integrated team approach includes simultaneous compressions and rescue breathing. Rhythm detection should take place as soon as an AED or defibrillator is available, with subsequent shock, as indicated, as the survival rate from ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia ranges from 5 to 50%, and decreases with an increase in the length of time to the first shock
