If u went to the emergency room, then the hospital doesn't have a right to turn u down. Right before our dream marriage, my wife had a very sever chest pain, and her personal doctor didn't have a chance to accept her, so, we had to go to an emergency room.

How do you allow the chest ot recoil completely after each chest compression?
Easy. When you lift your hands up at the end of a chest compression, you can feel when your hands are very nearly not pressing down. Then you start another compression. You are doing it right if you are sort of bouncing up and down on the patient's chest, sort of like performing CPR on a large rubber ball. Around 40 compressions per minute or even faster is good for the patient, and minimizes your own fatigue.
When should chest compressios be initiated in an adult cardiac arrest?
When the person is out cold, turning blue under the fingernails, and has no pulse, then "immediately" is when you start chest compression. There should be around 40 or 45 compressions per minute or more. You know you are doing it right when you start bouncing up and down rhythmically on the patient's chest - that is a lot less work than the foolish way they do it in doctore/hospital shows. By the way, the current accepted CPR in most cases is hands- only. The patient has a better chance of survival when you do not stop to give her mouth-to-mouth respirations. The chest compressions move plenty of air in and out of the lungs.
Who has the ultimate responsibility in the hospital setting?
As far as patient care is concerned the chief medical officer. But as with most things it comes down to who controls the money, so it would be the hospital manager or administrator.

In cardiac compression you should press where?
When performing chest compressions on a patient suspected of cardiac arrest, these should be over the sternum, in the centre of the chest roughly between the two nipples, pushing to a depth of 4cm.
After opening an unconscious patient's airway what should you do?
If the patient is in the recovery position and the airway is open do this: 1.put your ear to the mouth and nose area while looking at their chest 2. If they are breathing you should be able to hear and feel the air coming out of their nose and mouth aswell as seeing their chest moving up and down in time. 3.If the patient isn't breathing (after checking) then you will need to get an experienced person to do CPR - if you are unexperienced DO NOT TRY as you could injure the patient-call for help
What are the importance of OPD in hospital?
Out Patient Department (OPD) Services are one of the important aspect of Hospital Administration. OPD services otherwise called as Ambulatory Care Services. It is a shop window for patients, like window-shopping in a super market where articles are laid down to chose and pick. OPD is the mirror of the hospital, which reflects the functioning of the hospital being the first point of contact between the patient and the hospital staff. Patients visit the OPD for various purposes, like consultation, day care treatment, investigation, referral, admission and post discharge follow up. Not only for treatment but also for preventing and promotive services like, health check up, Immunisation, Physio-therapy and so on. The Ambulatory Care Services is gaining popularity and is in demand due to "Day Care Services" and patient need not stay at hospital. This is helping both the patient and hospital as patient remains at house near the relatives and the hospital is benefited by less demand on hospital beds there by reducing cost on in patients. Therefore, providing the best OPD Services is one of the primary goal of Hospital Administrator.
How do you perform cardiac massage?
Cardiac massage or CPR is usually done to in order to establish its circulation. Step 1: Listen and feel the patient breast bone. Feel its pulses. Then place your hand's heel on your patient's chess then three fingers on the bottom of its breastbone. Step 2: Then press down the chest to 1/2 inches and let it rise. Just make sure your thumb and fingers do not touch your patient's chest. In this way you're giving your patient the artificial pump for the blood and improve its circulation.

What is the Adult CPR compression ratio?
30 compressions to 2 breaths. 2nd Answer: Perhaps not . . . the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross have approved and recommended the so-called "hands-only" CPR. You give chest compressions in the standard position, but you sort of bounce up and down on the patient's chest - perhaps 40 compressions or more per minute. You are doing it at the right rate if you are naturally bouncing up and down, like you would if you were giving chest compressions to a rubber ball. This method results in a good balance between doing the patient some good, while minimizing your fatigue. There are no breaths given in hands-only CPR.
