1. Health 4 Notes Sir Daj

11. Unconscious? Absence of Breathing? Perform BLS!!

12. Unresponsive but BREATHING?? . . . Continue with the Assessment

13. Vital Signs Pulse Rapid/weak shock, diabetic coma Rapid/strong heat stroke, hypertension Slow/strong stroke, skull fracture None cardiac arrest

14. Vital Signs Respiration Shallow shock Irregular obstruction Wheezing asthma None cardiac arrest

15. Vital Signs Blood Pressure < 100 mmHg shock > 135 mmHg hypertension Skin Temperature Hot dry heat exposure Cool clammy shock

16. Vital Signs Pupils Constricted drugs, poison Unequal concussion, stroke Dilated shock, hemorrhage

19. Opening The Airway Head Tilt Chin Lift Jaw Thrust

20. FBAO F oreign B ody A irway O bstruction

21. Types of Obstruction Anatomical Mechanical Partial Complete Partial Complete

24. Cardiovascular Emergencies A rapid decline in heart function due to poor blood flow or electrical activity. LIFE THREATENING!! Examples are cardiac arrest, heart attack, and arrhythmia

25. THREE CONDITIONS OF CARDIAC ARREST 1. Cardio Vascular Collapse The heart is still beating but its action is so weak that is not being circulated through the vascular system to the brain body tissues. 2. Ventricular Fibrillation Occurs when the individual fascicles of the heart beat independently rather than the coordinated, synchronized manner that produce rhythmic heart beat. 3. Cardiac standstill It means that the heart has stopped beating.

26. Cardiovascular Emergencies Heart attack is the death of the heart muscle due to deficient blood supply. Usually mistaken for angina pectoris . What causes heart attack?

27. What are the symptoms? First Aid? 1. Check ABCs 2. Call EMS 3. If possible, give nitroglycerine 4. If needed, use AED

29. Chain of Survival

30. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. determine responsiveness

31. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. activate EMS

32. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. open the airway

33. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. determine breathlessness

34. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. give chest compressions

35. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. give rescue breathing 5 cycles in 2 minutes

36. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. defibrillate if available

37. Basic Life Support A term used to describe the first aid procedures necessary to sustain life when the cardiovascular system is compromised. recovery position

39. When to S.T.O.P. CPR SPONTANEOUS signs of circulation are restored. TURNED over to medical services or properly trained and authorized personnel. OPERATOR is already exhausted and cannot continue CPR. PHYSICIAN assumes responsibility (declares death, take over, etc.).

40. Adult Child Infant Compression area Lower half of the sternum 2 fingers from the substernal notch Lower half of the sternum 1 finger from substernal notch Lower half of the sternum 1 finger width below the imaginary nipple line Depth Approximately 1½ - 2 inches Approximately 1 – 1½ inches Approximately ½ - 1 inch How to Compress Heels of 1 hand, other hand on top. Heel of one hand 2 fingers (middle & ring fingertips) Rate of Compression Approximately 100/min Approximately 100/min At least 100/min

41. A utomated E xternal D efibrillators are medical devices that deliver a controlled shock through pads or electrodes placed in specific locations on the victim’s chest. What is a fibrillation?

44. Using an AED 3. Be sure no one is touching the victim and press ANALYZE 4. Deliver a SHOCK if indicated
