CPR

When a patient on a ventilator requires CPR, medical staff normally disconnect the patient from the ventilator and deliver the rescue breaths manually with an AMBU bag. The AMBU bag is attached to the endotrachial or trachial tube; which is the site where the ventilator tubing was originally connected.

Compressions can be performed as ordered by the staff member in charge; newer patient beds can become firm by pressing a button. Otherwise, it is common practice to place a backboard under the patient to allow for more effective compression delivery.

Check for adequate breathing for 10 seconds; the chest should clearly rise for breathing to be effective.

Difficult breathing can be called lung collapse which might be caused by dead air leaving the trachea causing the lung to collapse. The only way to deal with this issue is to perform Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the victim.

Your headed in the right direction, but there has been changes to your theory. First you lie them on their back. Then you tilt their head back. then check for brathing and a heart beat. If, ONLY if the persons heart is NOT beating you do CPR. Which would be 2 full breahts then 5 chest compressions. Now, just make sure you have already called 911 because once you have started CPR you can Not stop until a medical personel arrives, otherwise you would stop breathing for the patient. But If their heart IS beating, then you just have to clear their airway.

Yes, you should be AED and CPR certified. It's to provide more accurate knowledge to the rescuer but it also prevents them from being sued or responsible. But, now AED's are found nearly everywhere in public places and have automated voice instructions to aid the rescuer who has no previous training. It's better to get early defibrillation than none at all or by waiting on someone with a license to perform the task when there may not be anyone else around. But, when someone with a higher license is present, they are now the ones who will take over the scene and circumstances.

After every 30 compressions.

Compressions are 100 per minute, so the 2 ventilations are done after 18 seconds of compressions.

It's either they have a pulse or they don't. It's not going to magically appear in the next three minutes. So about 10 seconds, AT THE MOST, a pulse should be assessed and if there isn't any present at the carotid artery (at the neck) then CPR and ventilations should be started immediately. In a critical emergency where someone isn't breathing or doesn't have a pulse, there is NO time for TIME! Actions must be made quick but you've got to be sure of your final decision. It's apart of EMS.

Generally speaking, no. However, there is always the exception. A person can be in V-Tach and still conscious (which happened to my brother-in-law). It would usually be obvious if a person is in distress with a heart issue in which case you would want to hook up the AED.

That rate is not enough to sustain life. Rescue breathing must be started and if there becomes no pulse, CPR must be started.

No he is obviously breathing and his heart must be beating for that to happen

Neutral and Backward.

The Red Cross provides first aid courses so that people who are not necessarily educated in the medical field will be prepared if an emergency situation were to break out. For instance if they were around a small child who was choking, having had these courses, they would know what steps to take in order to save this life.

There is no shockable rhythm the AED can shock for.

when performing the 'head tilt, chin lift' you are opening the casualties airways;allowing for effective rescue breaths when performing CPR.

Look, Listen and feel, tilt head back, open mouth and look for signs of obstruction. look for chest to rise for adequate breathing. hold nose and with mouth open breathe in and give two breaths to victim

To assess airway patency via breathing pattern, observe the rate, depth, and rhythm of the patient's breathing. Look for signs of wheezing, stridor, or labored breathing, which may indicate obstruction or narrowing of the airway. Additionally, assess for symmetrical chest expansion and the use of accessory muscles, as these can provide insights into the effectiveness of airflow. A normal, unlabored breathing pattern typically suggests good airway patency.

Unless you know what they are in shock from, don't give acasualty anything by mouth. Shock can occur from several things, so you need to know why they are in shock. If it's a simple case of fainting due to excitement or low blood sugar then water in small quantities is fine. If it's due to bleeding and trauma from impact IE car accident etc. you want to avoid giving them anything until internal injuries are ruled out.

Hard, fast, and accurately placed. Shoot for 100 compressions per minute and an inch or two above the nipple line.

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator.
