Practical Reminders

Proceed with A B C then work backward as necessary by going C B A.
Adult CPR is 4 cycles of 15:2.  Pediatric (Child & Infant) CPR is 20 cycles of 5:1.

For an unconscious person, ANY airway obstruction will be determined
     upon initial ventilation attempts.
For a person with an airway obstruction, it is better to get AIR IN than it is
     to get any OBSTRUCTION OUT.
For a person with an airway obstruction, NEVER worry about the circulation
     until the airway is established.

Cease CPR when signs of Circulation return, EMS or MD arrives,
Advance Directives (DNR) are found, Scene safety is compromised
or Exhaustion of rescuer begins.

When doing any Rescue Breathing, continue to monitor the signs of circulation.
When using the Recovery Position to maintain airway, continue to monitor
     the signs of circulation.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PUBLICLY-OVERDUE
- 80% of all cardiac arrest victims are found in VT/VF.
- The only effective means of conversion is defibrillation.
- The earliest defibrillation can yield the best survival.

- AEDs are easier to learn than CPR.

- Essentially the only way you can hurt someone alive
      with an AED is to "hit them over the head with it."

- AEDs weigh between 3 and 7 pounds.

- AEDs can use a 3 - 5 year lithium battery.

- Federal and State Good Samaritan Legislation exists
      for CPR and AED rescuers since 1998 at least.
- Manufacturers have indemnification programs available.

- AEDs cost between $1200.00 and $3000.00.

- Heart disease is the #1 CAUSE of death in the US today.
- Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an equal opportunity
      killer, regardless of age, race or sex.
- What are WE waiting for?
AEDs are not to be used on anyone
     Shave and dry chest as necessary.  Place pads next to any suspected metal chest implants.
Turn on AED first.  Place pads as soon as circulation is found to be absent.  Follow voice prompts.
During any analysis of rhythm or shock of victim, echo prompts and make certain ALL are clear!
