What else can I help you with?
Should you begin CPR once a victim has been in cardiac arrest for over 30 minutes?
Yes; you should still do CPR.
Why should you minimize interruptions when giving chest compressions to victim of cardiac arrest?
minimizing interruptions means you will not be as tired giving CPR
Should a patient in cardiac arrest receive CPR if they have had a stroke?
ANYONE who is in cardiac arrest should receive CPR. If a stroke victim needs CPR, it means that they are in cardiac arrest, which means they're dead. What would withholding CPR do for your patient.. they're already dead at that point. Dan, EMT ACLS PALS NRP RN, Medic Student
Do you continue compression after shocking a victim?
Yes, after delivering a shock with an automated external defibrillator (AED) to a victim in cardiac arrest, you should immediately resume chest compressions. This is crucial because compressions help maintain blood flow to vital organs until the heart can be reset by the shock. Continue the cycle of compressions and using the AED as needed until emergency medical services arrive or the victim shows signs of recovery.
When connected properly to a victim an AED device will advise you to do what?
It will first advise that it will analyze (in which case nobody should touch the patient). Next, it will advise if a shock is or isn't required.
Are arrest warrants linked to passports?
YES IT IS I AM A VICTIM OF THIS
Why do doctors intentionally create a large voltage across the chest of a heart-attack victim?
Note, a heart attack (myocardial infarction) is very different from what you are describing which is cardiac arrest. Doctors pass a large current using a defibrillator in certain cases of cardiac arrest when the heart muscle is just twitching and not beating in order to resychronise the electrical currents across the heart so they beat together effectively again.
When do you take the AED pads off the victim?
No; you must stop CPR to dry the chest and put on the pads. Once the pads are on the patient, the AED should analyze.
If an Officer only Interviews the victim and the aggressor and the officer arrests the victim due to the aggressors false statements is that false arrest?
That never happens
When to use an AED?
Each AED is different. All new AED's self check themselves. Unless it beeps or flashes, it should be OK. Pads last from 2-3 years and batteries last 2-5 years. Check them at least once a month.
Each minute that defribillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival of a sudden cardiac arrest victim by about 40 percent?
Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of surviving cardiac arrest by 10 percent according to the red cross. http://swpa.redcross.org/index.php?pr=Cardiac_Survival
Was a CPR giver paralyzed after ingesting what the victim choked on?
you don't give CPR to someone who is choking. that is called the heimlich manuver where you stand behind them and pull your fist and hand into stomach to force out object. CPR is used when there are heart prolems (ie. heart attack, cardiac arrest, carteroid failing)
