Cpr Persuasive Speech

I’ve gone through days of chemotherapy to kill my unhealthy bone marrow and I feel awful. I’ve been stuck in a heavily quarantined area so I don’t get sick since the treatments required before the transplant deplete my immune system. So today is my transplant. And yeah… and I’m not ready for it. I guess I should be thankful they found a donor so fast. The doctor who is performing the procedure came in, introduced himself as Dr. Williams; told me he was a bone marrow transplant specialist, and gave me details on what he is going to. Dr. Williams began by explaining the exact procedure bone marrow transplant. He explained that during the procedure they will begin by giving the donor special shots that move stem cells into the bloodstream and then white blood cells with stem cells are sorted out through a machine. Then he went on to the part that scared me the most: a special catheter needle will be implanted on my chest to allow the direct flow of the donor's blood to my heart for a total of a few days. He went on further to tell me some of the risks. He said that there’s a possibility that my body will reject the donor cells, my organs could become damaged, there could be nausea or vomiting, fever, and a headache. These symptoms are more common in older people and he told me that there odds of these risks are slim, so this made me feel a lot better.

Have you ever thought about what you would do if a family member suddenly stopped breathing? Imagine that you grow up in a small town, the population is 700 people, and one morning you wake up and everyone in the town is dead. On any given day 670 people die of sudden cardiac arrest. Could it be a loved one, someone you care deeply for, or just a complete stranger? The chances are that someone in your family is going to die of sudden cardiac arrest in your lifetime. On average it takes an ambulance no less than seven minutes to reach someone in need, therefore, every adult should know how to administer CPR.

Patients who are suffering from cardiac arrests and neurologic outcomes have a high chance of needing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Efficient use of both hands-only CPR versus breathing and hand use CPR may improve their survival chances and boost their neurologic outcomes when they undergo any form of an attack. The hands-only CPR versus breathing and hand use CPR training programs assist nurses, and the public on the treatment criteria to efficiently handle patients with cardiac arrests emergencies, resulting in an increase of the cardiac arrests survival rates for many patients across the world (Lamboy & Donohue, 2015).

WEEK 5 PICO(T) QUESTION 1Good Afternoon Class and Dr. Stephenson,In and out of the hospital high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is crucial to survival of victims of cardiac arrest. This research topic will focus on implementation of in hospital chest compressions in CPR. It will be based on a comparison of the efficacy of manual compressions and automated chest compressions in relation to survival outcomes. The potential attributes and short comings related to manual and automated chest compression will be reviewed. Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses have to be prepared to implement CPR during a cardiac arrest code. In consideration that patients in the ICU are often only marginally stable it is important that ICU nurses are familiar with their patient’s recent and past medical histories.

- When you think of a doctor, what comes to mind? Someone who does everything in their power to save lives might be one of the thoughts. But what if the patients’ of these doctors death is incurable, and no medical involvement can change that fact, than what becomes the role of a doctor?

The next step is dropping the death count. This could come in the form of the drug Narcan. Narcan is a drug that is to be administered (often in the form of a nasal spray) to a patient suffering from an opioid overdose. Infact according to Senator Kirk, “we are now seeing a 100 percent success rates from the lifesaving drug Narcan” (Kirk launches suburban anti-heroin task force 1 death every 3 days on average since 2012; using narcan during an overdose was 100% effective in Dupage County, States News Service). This drug has proven itself to be a saving grace to those who have abused heroin however according to Dr. Hamburg “FDA approval for intranasal naloxone [Narcan] may be another eight years away. Following current trends, an eight-year delay would result in another 1043 lives lost in Chicago's suburbs” (Kirk launches suburban anti-heroin task force 1 death every 3 days on

| Lesson Outline: Allocated teacher-NExplaining legal requirements : Duty of care: A duty of care is implied when the person who is requiring your assistance is in your workplace. E.g. patient, co-worker or visitor. Consent of an unresponsive patient is assumed in an emergency situation. (Crouchman, 2009; Milne & Mellman-Jones, 2010).Cultural awareness/sensitivity: We need to mindful of varying cultures when assisting patients, as different cultures prefer to be unexposed which is necessary when defibrillation is required. Eg, Muslims (Hattersley & Keogh, 2009). Confidentiality: Following an emergency situation it is vital to refrain from speaking to others outside the workplace about the patient to ensure the patient’s privacy and dignity. Think about how you would feel if you where in the patient’s situation. (Maeder, Martin-Sanchez, Croll, & Ambrosoli, 2012)?Limitations: Remember that once you start you can’t stop until you’re physically unable to or help arrivesDebriefing: Participating in the debriefing process is vital due to the enormity of the situation, enabling the nurse to express

Automated External Defibrillators (AED) can be used by the untrained bystander, even if they have never seen or used the machine before. This machine has both voice and visual instructions; therefore, there is no reason to be intimidated. If you see a person suddenly collapse, pass out, or find someone unconscious, having a general knowledge of how an AED machine functions, could save their life. Before starting AED or any life saving measure, confirm that the person is unable to respond by shouting, shaking, or pinching on top of their shoulders. If they are unresponsive immediately call or have a bystander call 911, locate, and retrieve the AED machine. This machine must be used within minutes of cardiac arrest onset to be effective; therefore, time is of the essence! Try to ascertain how long the victim has been unconscious. Determine whether they are breathing, and if they have a pulse. If the victim is breathing they will have a pulse; if they are not breathing or pulse is absent or irregular, prepare to use the AED once it arrives at the scene. Roll the person on their back, and begin doing 2 minutes of CPR (30 chest compressions). Once the AED machine is at the scene, make sure the person isn’t lying in or near water. If they are they will need to be moved to a dry area. It is imperative to stay clear of any type of wetness when delivering shocks - water will conduct electricity. Turn on the AED power supply (some power up when you open the lid) and the device will

For over 13 year I have worked in healthcare and I have seen multiple patients die from organ failure as they waited on the transplant list. I’ve seen patients lose their quality of life as they sit in hospitals for weeks and months at a time as they waited for a kidney transplant. I also know people who have donated the organs of their loved ones and were blessed to know that their loss was the beginning of another person’s life.

70 Percent of Americans do not know how to perform CPR are you one of them?

On January 4th, 2017, you issued an emergency call for blood and platelet donation because the severe winter weather was eating up your blood supply causing a shortage and once again you issued a statement on July 5th, 2017, saying that, “The decline in summer donations is causing a significant draw-down of our overall blood supply, and we urgently need people to give now to restock hospital shelves and help save lives,” (Mandal). So, if I am understanding this correctly, the nation is still experiencing a blood shortage? Ok, here’s the part that I find funny, there’s an entire population that is able to donate but yet are deferred by your system. Can you guess what that population is? No? Well, it’s gay and bisexual men.

Attention Getter: What if one of your friends just fell to the ground because they couldn’t breathe, would you know what to do, could you perform CPR if it was needed? It is said by the American Heart Association that sadly 70% of Americans do not know how to do CPR, or they just don’t remember how.

                   Have you ever had any trouble breathing in your life? No? Well consider yourself lucky. Breathing is an essential thing to life. You don’t breathe, you don’t live. That’s just the way it is. When you breathe in, the lungs take that oxygen and release the carbon dioxide as a waste product into the atmosphere. This is what keeps the body regulated and gets the metabolism going. The process of aspiration is an ongoing phenomenon. Everyone is constantly breathing in and out because our lungs can only take in so much oxygen. We constantly breathe more and more to live.

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

Just imagine if one of your brothers or sisters was born with a heart defect and had to have daily transfusions of blood in order to have a chance of survival. Unfortunately, things happen like this everyday and some of you may have experienced them already. In this essay I am going to persuade you to become a blood donor. I try to donate blood every two months or so because it makes me feel like I am doing something good and saving people’s lives. Do you know that 95% of all Americans will need a blood transfusion sometime in our lives (Red Cross web site)? That statistic means that there is a possibility that you, and your family and friends could need support from volunteer blood donors. In this essay I will discuss the need for blood donations, solutions that can increase blood donations, and actions that need to be taken to increase blood donations.
