Gibbs Reflective Cycle

Whenever an adult is in need of CPR you will have to immediately check for a response from the person that is having a difficult time breathing and talking. Once you check for a response you then will need to either have someone call 911 if there is someone else near you or immediately begin CPR which you will start to pump the persons chest 30 times in the very center of their chest, once you have done that you will pinch the persons nose while you are blowing air into their mouth and then call 911 for help to arrive while still giving the person CPR.

Topic 1). Let's begin with the basics... What is CPR? It is a live saving procedure done by performing chest compressions to pump the heart in order for it to circulate blood and deliver oxygen to the brain. Who knows what CPR stands for? (pause) CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The overall objective of this essay is to choose an event and reflect on the dignity of the patient and how dignity was maintained throughout the event. According to Kozier, Harvey and Morgan-Samuel (2011) dignity is treating an individual with respect, worth and value. The event I have chosen involves a patient who we found unconscious and had a ‘Do not attempt resuscitation’ (DNAR) order in place so therefore, died. To reflect on my chosen event, I will be using Gibbs Reflective Cycle (1998), I have chosen this cycle due to using this reflective cycle successfully in the past when working in a care home to thoroughly reflect on my experiences. Reflection is important in healthcare because it helps us to learn from our past experiences

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.

I recommend everyone using physical techniques of any kind be trained on the risks of positional asphyxiation. Whenever, I physically restrict a person’s movement there is a risk of injury, and no physical holds are 100% safe. In this book, I cover body positioning for physical interventions, standing holds, and seated holds. I do not authorize or encourage a prone restraint without the proper training; and this type of restraint is not covered in this book. However, the SafeClinch Training System does allow for “prone containment” for those organizations allowed to use it; once SafeClinch instructor certification has been achieved. Here is an example of what the prone position looks like. Notice, since the person is in the prone position

Staff reacted quickly and appropriately and when safe transferred the patient into the resuscitation area. I witnessed good communication between staff with the use of SBAR, giving structure to the information being provided by ambulance staff and by nurses to medical staff. Communication between staff and the patient promoted a good therapeutic relationship. Communication is vital in the nurse patient relationship to build trust and gain information (Webb, 2011).

All patients are at risk of pressure injuries. This risk is exacerbated when immobility and limited access to the surgically draped patient are a part of

An important aspect involved in critical appraisal of a study involves identifying and evaluating the study framework. This allows the reader to determine whether it is appropriate to apply the study findings to nursing practice. The author of this study identified the specific perspective from which the study was developed. More specifically, the author sought to provide insight into the phenomenon of lay presence during adult CPR specifically from the perspective of ambulance staff and

For the purpose of this essay, I have selected Gibbs (1988) Reflective Learning Cycle to reflect on an aspect of individual professional practice, which requires development in preparation for my role as a Registered Nurse. Gibbs (1988) Model of Reflection provides a clear description of a situation, analysis of feelings, evaluation of the experience, conclusion, and action plan to make sense of the experience to examine what you would do if the situation happens again.

Preview of Points: Today we will explore the right ways to perform CPR, when you should and should not do it, and why you should learn it and become certified.

The sessions began with a short PowerPoint containing a review of the key points from my lecture earlier in the month. The elements of pediatric assessment and resuscitation were reviewed and the students watched a short video on one and two rescuer child CPR for HealthCare professionals. This served as a pre-briefing. The objectives for the lab were clear and the review facilitated the application of theory to practice in the lab setting.

There are several legal and ethical issues relating to FWR. Some of the key legal concerns expressed by healthcare professionals include the potential for litigation, patient confidentiality, and the patient’s right to privacy (Mian et al, 2007; Critchell et al, 2007). Litigation and liability concerns arise from the fact that, in most cases, family members will have little understanding of the procedures used in the code room. The fear is that the staff’s actions could be perceived as detrimental or harmful to the patient in the eyes of the typical lay-person. The reality is that once healthcare providers become educated and experienced with FWR,

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.

| 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

Let's hope you are never in a situation where someone is in need of CPR. CPR stands for "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation". If you are CPR certified, you then have the ability to save an individuals life. As an Emergency Medical Technician,I went through special training, where I was required to have learn how to preform CPR.
