the wife’s request as it is strictly forbidden to provide a CPR in the event of a cardiac arrest

Attention Catcher / Listener Relevance: Are you ready to save someone’s life. Just imagine you’re walking down a street or park and you see a person just collapse. You probably run up to the person to check for breathing or a heartbeat. Then call 9-1-1. People who suffered from cardiac arrest are most likely not surrounded by doctors, or nurses, or EMT personnel.

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.

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.

For an electronic search to be successful it is important to find the right key words or concepts required to retrieve the journal articles as journal articles are indexed and entered onto the databases using keywords (Aveyard, 2014). The keywords for this literature review derived from the research question and synonyms words (Schneider, Elliott, LoBiondo-Wood and Haber, 2004). The keywords identified and retrieved used a combination of the following keywords; CPR, cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitat*, famil* and family carer*. The keywords 'family ', 'witnessed

Health Education East of England, in line with other regions, have developed a standard regional DNACPR policy (NHS east of England integrated do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNACPR) policy for adults, 2015) and form (Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR),

Specific, measurable, and realistic outcome: 40% increase in population (aged 10 and above and not working in the medical field) trained in CPR (minimum of 30 minutes hands-only CPR with AED module within the last three

“Cardiac disease is the most common cause of death in the United States” (Graham Nichol, 518). This is the leading number of death with in the US. It is important to know how to perform CPR and not may people know how to so with the help of the fast responding Emergency Medical Services, they have been able to save numerous lives. It has been stated that in the U.S. there are “More than 1,000 patients experience sudden cardiac arrest each day, Treatment for this includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency medical services (EMS) that provide CPR” (Graham Nichol, 517). In my EMT class this summer our instructor said there has always been questions weather or not the bystander who is around and knows how to perform CPR should do it. The answer is yes. Because the faster you begin CPR the higher of a chance you have to saving the patients life from dying from a heart attack. It only takes a few minutes before the brain goes brain dead from lack of oxygen to the brain. The point of CPR is to hopefully save the patients life, but that is not always the case. CPR helps circulate blood through the body, brain and other organs to help the patient stay alive while either the ambulance is en route to your location or while the EMT or paramedic is heading to the

The three major life-breathing concerns for a patient is a disruption of the airway, breathing, and circulation. When a patient goes into cardiac arrest due to pre-existing conditions or trauma, an EMT will initiate the steps of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and hopefully using an available automated external defibrillator (AED). However, some patients due to having a terminal illness, age, or personal choice does not want to be resuscitated or have

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 not given CPR right away , the cardiac arrest victim may have no chance to survive until professional care providers arrive on the scene. On an average it takes three to four minutes for the EMS to get there. It is most effective immediately after a victim’s heart stops beating. According to The American Heart Association(2017), “For each minute CPR is not performed the chance of survival decreases by 10%”(para.5). Saying that by the time the EMS arrives to the scene that victim’s chance of living decreased by 40%. For a bystander to perform CPR they would be getting the blood pumping to the brain and other organs. If a cardiac arrest were to take place the victim may have chest pains then collapse or faint. By collapsing they will go

The ANA published a Position Statement; Nursing Care and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and Allow Natural Death (AND) Decisions, this states that from 1992 and 2005 survival of elderly patients that received CPR had the same

The phenomenon of interest, Bystander CPR can decrease the mortality and morbidity rates of communities nationwide. APN’s can increase the knowledge and skills of bystander CPR through educational brochures, lectures, audio visuals, and physical skill labs. The implementation of these attributes has the potential to increase the overall health status of all populations.

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.
