Basics of CPR and Life Support CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION DEFINITION Cardiopulmonary resuscitation encompasses more than one simple rescue technique for saving someone whose heart or breathing has stopped. Rather, it is an organized approach to assessing and dealing with a medical emergency. It requires learning the physical skills of artificial respiration (mouth-to-mouth breathing) and closed chest compressions, as well as the proper timing and a specific sequence in which to use the skills. The American Heart Association, which sets the standards for CPR training, uses the mnemonic "ABC" to represent the three major functions restored by CPR: A irway B reathing C irculation It is strongly recommended that those who wish to learn CPR take a formal course offered by the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross, which allows adequate time to practice on a training mannequin under close supervision of an instructor. Always perform life support techniques as quickly as possible after an injury. Except under very unusual circumstances, brain damage is likely to occur 4 to 6 minutes after cardiopulmonary arrest and the likelihood and severity of this damage increase each minute there- after. In the case of a life-threatening medical emergency, life-support techniques should be offered in the following order: Call for help.

return to self care index Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) CPR Techniques Early CPR is an important link in the chain of survival for a victim of sudden cardiac or respiratory arrest. CPR involves a combination of mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing (or other artificial ventilation techniques) and chest compressions. It keeps some oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until appropriate medical treatment can restore normal heart action. Cardiac arrest causes the victim to lose consciousness within seconds. If there is early access to the EMS system (Phone First! Phone Fast!), early CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced care, the person has a chance to survive. CPR techniques include three basic rescue skills, the ABCs of CPR: A irway, B reathing and C irculation. Airway - A key action for successful resuscitation is immediate opening of the airway by positioning the head properly. It is important to remember that the back of the tongue and the epiglottis are the most common causes of airway obstruction in the unconscious victim. Since the tongue, directly, and the epiglottis, indirectly, are attached to the lower jaw, tilting the head back and moving the lower jaw (chin) forward lifts the tongue and the epiglottis from the back of the throat and usually opens the airway. Breathing - When breathing stops, the body has only the oxygen remaining in the lungs and bloodstream. Therefore, when breathing stops, cardiac arrest and death quickly follow. Mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing is the quickest way to get oxygen into the victim's lungs. There is more than enough oxygen in the air you breathe into the victim to supply the victim's needs.

The following are the basic emergency actions taught in a CPR course. You should perform CPR for a victim whose breathing and/or pulse have stopped and to clear a victim's airway if it is obstructed by foreign material. This is intended as a supplement to information learned in a complete CPR course instructed by the American Red Cross. It is not to be used as your only guide for CPR unless in emergency situations. Please use this only as a guideline for the proper steps in CPR. For more information please contact your local American Red Cross for class information.

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) AHA Recommendation The American Heart Association and the American Red Cross, the organizations responsible for most CPR training in the United States, adopted new CPR science guidelines on October 28, 1992. The American Heart Association guidelines serve as the basis for teaching CPR. The new guidelines recommend Accessing the emergency medical services (E.M.S.) system by telephoning 9-1-1 or the equivalent, before beginning CPR on adults. Accessing the emergency medical services (EMS) system by telephoning 9-1-1 or the equivalent, after one minute of CPR on children. Simplified, more consistent protocols for both children and adults. Addition of the recovery position (rolling the victim on his or her side) to all protocols for victims who are breathing effectively on their own, or who resume effective breathing at any time during the delivery of resuscitation efforts. Repositioning the victim's head after each unsuccessful attempt to ventilate, before re-attempting ventilation. Most of these changes have been developed to improve the victim's chances of recovery, and also to simplify teaching CPR skills.

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) STATISTICS There are no reliable national statistics on CPR because no single agency collects information about how many people get CPR, how many don't get it who need it, how many people are trained, etc. Many studies have been done examining CPR in specific communities. While they show varying rates of success, all are consistent in showing benefits from early CPR. The following statements are fair generalizations: Right now early CPR and rapid defibrillation (de-fib"rih-LA'shun) combined with early advanced care can result in high long-term survival rates for witnessed ventricular fibrillation (ven-TRIK'u-ler fib"rih-LA'shun). The value of early CPR by bystanders is that it can buy time by prolonging life during ventricular fibrillation. Early bystander CPR is less helpful if EMS personnel equipped with a defibrillator arrive later than 8-12 minutes after the collapse. Sudden cardiac death (S.C.D.) Sudden cardiac death from coronary heart disease occurs over 600 times per day in the United States.

Definition Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure to support and maintain breathing and circulation on a person who has stopped breathing (respiratory arrest) and/or whose heart has stopped (cardiac arrest). Purpose CPR is performed to restore and maintain breathing and circulation and to provide oxygen and blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs. It should be performed if a person is unconscious and not breathing. Respiratory and cardiac arrest can be caused by allergic reactions, an ineffective heartbeat, asphyxiation, breathing passages that are blocked, choking , drowning, drug reactions or overdoses, electric shock, exposure to cold, severe shock, or trauma. CPR can be performed by trained bystanders or healthcare professionals on infants, children, and adults. It should always be performed by the person on the scene who is most experienced in CPR.

An article on this topic is available in this issue of AFP Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) When is CPR important? CPR may be done when a person stops breathing or the heart stops beating (like when a person has a heart attack). When it's possible that the person may recover, CPR is important. CPR is an option for a patient with an advanced life-threatening illness (like cancer) and who is dying. When the patient reaches the end of life, CPR may not be the option to choose. It's important for the patient, family members and doctor to talk about this issue before the need arises. What is involved in the procedure? During CPR, the chest is pressed on forcefully. Electric stimulation to the chest and special medicines are used. This is usually done for 15 to 30 minutes. A tube may also be put through the mouth or nose into the lung. This tube is then connected to a breathing machine.
