Should you perform CPR on a casualty experiencing cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest is the only event in which CPR is appropriate. Chest compressions should never be done on a patient with a beating heart. The exception to that is treatment for choking, but that's a bit more advanced. Rescue breathing is appropriate for several medical and trauma problems, but CPR is only done during cardiac arrest. One thing to remember about cardiac arrest is that once someone is in cardiac arrest, they are DEAD. Nothing that a rescuer can do can make that person more dead. Also, in 2010, the standards are changing to what's called CCR (Cerebral Cardio Resuscitation), which is compression only CPR. No rescue breathing at all. If the heart isn't beating, the oxygen does no good. The debate has long been about whether stopping compressions for breaths, even though the cessation is brief, is bad for the perfusion pressure in the organs. They have determined that it is better to not have even brief cessations in chest compressions.


Should you begin CPR once a victim has been in cardiac arrest for over 30 minutes?

Yes; you should still do CPR.


What happens when you perform early CPR on a child in cardiac arrest?

Yes, once you have confirmed that someone does have a pulse and is not breathing (or breathing abnormally), you should immediately call emergency services and begin CPR until help arrives. Early CPR is essential in increasing the chance of survival of someone in cardiac arrest.

What impacts does delayed defibrillation have on a causalty of sudden cardiac arrest?

Ventricular defibrillation can lead to cardiac arrest and the heart could stop beating altogether. Once in cardiac arrest, every minute that passes without defibrillation the survival rate decreases about 7 to 10 percent and then dropping to less than 50 percent. Why can't we just call 9-1-1? Emergency medical services may not be able to respond fast enough during a victim's cardiac arrest. They might have to deal with crowded urban areas, multiple story buildings, rural areas or large complexes. In fact the average response time nationally is between 10 to 12 minutes, so the best EMS responders may not arrive there in time. The survival rate is only 5 in 100 SCA victims if defibrillation is not done early enough. More lives can be saved because of the very practical design of the AED's and the fact that most people are capable of using them. The more portable defibrillators that are put into public and private places, the better the chances for survival in SCA victims FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A VIDEO GO TO: http://www.emergencysuppliesinfo.com/what-is-a-defibrillator.html


Why heart failure occur?

The briefest medical explanation for the occurrence of cardiac failure is the result of two completely different viruses or infections are present at once, resulting in not heart attacks but failure of the hearts valves causing cardiac arrest.


Can someone laugh to death?

Yes, they can. Laughing without breathing properly can cause asphyxiation or cardiac arrest. Laughing uncontrollably can also cause atonia and muscle collapse. However, these cases are extremely rare and occurs about on average once every 30 years.


What is a cardiopulmonary arrest?

Is There a Difference Between a Sudden Cardiac Arrest and a Heart Attack? * A heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest are not the same thing. * A heart attack is technically known as myocardial infarction, although a person suffering a heart attack certainly has an increased risk of a sudden cardiac arrest. * The term cardiac arrest is also used to describe the sudden loss of function of the heart, as result of an abrupt disturbance in the heart's rhythm. It can occur in a person with or without heart disease. The basic difference is summarized below: Who can be affected by Sudden Cardiac Arrest? * People often ask who can be affected by sudden cardiac arrest, anticipating it is the fate of the elderly. Although the frequency and risk of SCA certainly increases with age it can occur without warning or symptoms to anyone, even teenagers. * According to the Australian Resuscitation Council an estimated 30,000 people a year suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Although pre-existing heart disease is a common cause for cardiac arrest, many victims never previously exhibit heart problems. * The survival rate for SCA without immediate treatment is low in the vicinity of 5 to 10 %, whereas survival rates well above 50% have been achieved following successful implementation of CPR and defibrillation, the shorter the time span of treatment the higher the survival rate. Is it possible to reverse the effect of sudden cardiac arrest? Yes, it is entirely possible to reverse the effect of a sudden cardiac arrest, particularly if the unconscious victim receives immediate aid by restoring the circulation with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and delivery of defibrillation to restore the normal heart rhythm. If these life saving measures are delayed the prospect of a complete recovery diminishes. HEART ATTACK Cause: An occlusion or blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the heart - typically the coronary artery. Once the artery is blocked the heart muscle dies as a result of oxygen deprivation, resulting in a heart attack Warning Signs: Chest and arm pain, upper abdomen and jaw pain also common, sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting are all common symptoms Patient Response: Usually remains conscious and alert, usually distressed and anxious. Survival Prospects: Generally good, with appropriate treatment SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST Cause: An abnormal or irregular heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmias) occurs. Instead of the heart beating in a coordinated fashion, the ventricles (lower chambers) quiver or wobble - a process known as ventricular fibrillation, resulting in a cardiac arrest Warning Signs: Sudden collapse, usually no detectable pulse Patient Response: Unconscious and totally unresponsive, usually no pulse, and not breathing Survival Prospects:Generally poor 90+% will die unless CPR and defibrillation is administered within 10 minutes of collapse. Some people simply don't respond to treatment because of underlying medical conditions Page 12, Sensitive Hearts Newsletter Newsletter, Summer 2005-06 Sensitive Hearts is a publication of the Australian Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation. The primary purpose of this publication is for general information only and is not to be used as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.the common language term "heart attack" usually refers to myocardial infarction, not cardiac arrest.


When was martin luthers arrest date?

That would be hard to answer, because he was arrested more than once. The first time was in 1956, but he was arrested several times.

Once discharged from the hospital, the patient works with his cardiac team to create an individual exercise plan.


Dead person dying twice?

If a dead person died twice it would mean that they experienced cardiac arrest once remaining dead for around five minutes; resuscitated shortly after(they don't give up on the first attempt, they usually use various procedures to achieve the desired result, heartbeat).
