Anatomy Quick Review!!!
Functions of the Heart
•Pumping oxygenated blood to the other body parts.
•Pumping hormones and other vital substances to
different parts of the body.
•Receiving deoxygenated blood and carrying metabolic
waste products from the body and pumping it to
the lungs for oxygenation.
•Maintaining blood pressure.
Basic Life Support
BLS (Basic Life Support)
is a level of medical care which is used for
victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries
until they can be given full medical care at a
hospital. It can be provided by trained medical
personnel, such as emergency medical
technicians, and by qualified bystanders.

Verifying if Scene is Safe.
• Removing any potential hazard that could
impact your ability to help someone else
– Hazards could be something very obvious – traffic, downed power
lines, smoke, or fire.
– Hazards could be something small that you could miss – a wet or
slippery floor, broken glass or sharp objects.
– Hazards could also be your personal safety. It’s dark, you think you see
someone lying on the ground a distance away. Is it safe for you to go
check on them? Maybe, maybe not.
Checking for Responsiveness
First tap the victim and shout “HEY! HEY! Are
you OK?” If they do not respond, shout for help.
Activate the emergency response system. If you
are alone, retrieve an AED and other emergency
equipment. Send someone to get it if others are
available.
Assessment of Breathing and Pulse
• check for absent or abnormal breathing by watching
the chest for movements for 5 to 10 seconds.
• Simultaneously check the carotid pulse for a
minimum of 5 seconds—but no more than 10
seconds—to determine if there is a pulse present.
• It’s important to minimize delay in starting CPR, so
take no more than 10 seconds to assess the patient.
Possible Responses
• If the victim has a pulse and is breathing normally,
monitor them until emergency responders arrive.
• If the victim has a pulse but is breathing abnormally,
maintain the patient’s airway and begin rescue
breathing. Administer one breath every 5 to 6
seconds, not exceeding 10 to 12 breaths per minute.
• If no breathing and Pulse Begin CPR.
How to open Airway and Give
Rescue Breathes
• To open the airway, place 1 hand on the
casualty's forehead and gently tilt their head
back, lifting the tip of the chin using 2 fingers.
• Use the fingers of one hand to pinch the person’s
nostrils shut. This helps to prevent air from escaping
through their nose.
• Cover their mouth with yours, forming a seal so that
air doesn’t escape.
• Give rescue breaths by gently breathing into their
mouth. A rescue breath should last about 1 second.
Aim to give a rescue breath every 5 to 6 seconds.
This is about 10 to 12 breaths per minute.
• Check to see if the person’s chest rises as you
give the first rescue breath. If it doesn’t,
repeat step 2 (open the airway) before giving
additional rescue breaths.
• Continue giving rescue breaths until
emergency medical services (EMS) arrives or
the person begins breathing normally on their
own.
CPR
• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
• is an emergency procedure that combines chest
compressions often with artificial ventilation in an
effort to manually preserve intact brain function until
further measures are taken to restore spontaneous
blood circulation and breathing in a person who is
in cardiac arrest.
• If a pulse is not identified within 10 seconds,
immediately begin administering CPR, starting
with chest compressions. Compressions
should occur at a rate of 100 to 120
compressions per minute, with a depth of 2
inches. Use a compression-to-ventilation ratio
of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
High Quality CPR
Push Fast : Rate of 100 compressions per minute
Push Hard: 1/3 the AP diameter of the chest or
approximately 1 ½ inches (Infants) and 2 inches in Child
Allow complete chest recoil
Minimize Interruptions
Avoid excessive ventilation

diagnoses the lifethreatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular
fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia
Advance Cardiac Life Support
Advance Cardiac Life Support
• often referred to by its acronym, "ACLS",
refers to a set of clinical algorithms for the
urgent treatment of cardiac
arrest, stroke, myocardial infarction (also
known as a heart attack), and other lifethreatening cardiovascular emergencies.

Pulseless V-tach and V-Fib
• Ventricular tachycardia (VT or V-tach) is a type of abnormal
heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It occurs when the lower
chamber of the heart beats too fast to pump well and the
body doesn't receive enough oxygenated blood.
• Ventricular fibrillation is a type of abnormal heart rhythm
(arrhythmia). During ventricular fibrillation, disorganized
heart signals cause the lower heart chambers (ventricles) to
twitch (quiver) uselessly. As a result, the heart doesn't pump
blood to the rest of the body.
Pharmacologic

Pulmonary System
• Essential diagnostic tests in intubated patients
include a chest radiograph and arterial blood gas
measurements.
• Evaluation of a chest radiograph should verify the
correct position of the endotracheal tube and the
distribution of pulmonary infiltrates or edema and
identify complications from chest compressions
• Providers should adjust mechanical ventilator
support based on the measured
oxyhemoglobin saturation, blood gas values,
minute ventilation (respiratory rate and tidal
volume), and patient-ventilator synchrony.

• Sedation After Cardiac Arrest
• Cardiovascular System
Sedation After Cardiac Arrest
• Patients with coma or respiratory dysfunction after
ROSC are routinely intubated and maintained on
mechanical ventilation for a period of time, which
results in discomfort, pain, and anxiety.
• Shorter-acting medications that can be used as a
single bolus or continuous infusion are usually
preferred.
Organ-Specific Evaluation and Support
• Pulmonary System
• Sedation After Cardiac Arrest
• Cardiovascular System
Cardiovascular System
• The clinician should evaluate the patient's 12lead ECG and cardiac markers after ROSC

Vasoactive Drugs for Use in Post–Cardiac Arrest
Patients
Vasoactive drugs may be administered after ROSC to
support cardiac output, especially blood flow to the
heart and brain. Drugs may be selected to improve
heart rate (chronotropic effects), myocardial
contractility (inotropic effects), or arterial pressure
(vasoconstrictive effects), or to reduce afterload
(vasodilator effects).
Do not mix vasoactive agents with

Modifying Outcomes From Critical Illness
• Glucose Control
• Steroids
• Hemofiltration
Glucose Control
Strategies to target moderate glycemic control (144 to
180 mg/dL [8 to 10 mmol/L]) may be considered in
adult patients with ROSC after cardiac arrest. Attempts
to control glucose concentration within a lower range
(80 to 110 mg/dL [4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L]) should not be
implemented after cardiac arrest due to the increased
risk of hypoglycemia
Steroids
• Corticosteroids have an essential role in the
physiological response to severe stress,
including maintenance of vascular tone and
capillary permeability.
Hemofiltration.
• Hemofiltration has been proposed as a
method to modify the humoral response to
the ischemic-reperfusion injury that occurs
after cardiac arrest.

Central Nervous System
Central Nervous System
• The pathophysiology of post–cardiac arrest
brain injury involves a complex cascade of
molecular events that are triggered by
ischemia and reperfusion and then executed
over hours to days after ROSC
• Clinical manifestations of post–cardiac arrest
brain injury include coma, seizures,
myoclonus, various degrees of neurocognitive
dysfunction (ranging from memory deficits to
persistent vegetative state), and brain death.
• Seizure Management
• Neuroprotective Drugs
Seizure Management
• An EEG for the diagnosis of seizure should be performed with
prompt interpretation as soon as possible and should be
monitored frequently or continuously in comatose patients
after ROSC
• Use of anti-seizure drugs such as thiopental, diazepam.
Neuroprotective Drugs
• Lamotrigine
• Citicholine
• Magnessium Sulfate
TAKE HOME
•
•
•
•
On recognition of a cardiac arrest event, a layperson should simultaneously and
promptly activate the emergency response system and initiate cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR).
Performance of high-quality CPR includes adequate compression depth and rate
while minimizing pauses in compressions
Early defibrillation with concurrent high-quality CPR is critical to survival when
sudden cardiac arrest is caused by ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular
tachycardia.
Administration of epinephrine with concurrent high-quality CPR improves survival,
particularly in patients with nonshockable rhythms.
•
•
•
Recognition that all cardiac arrest events are not identical is critical for optimal
patient outcome, and specialized management is necessary for many conditions
Post–cardiac arrest care is a critical component of the Chain of Survival and
demands a comprehensive, structured, multidisciplinary system that requires
consistent implementation for optimal patient outcomes.
Prompt initiation of targeted temperature management is necessary for all
patients who do not follow commands after return of spontaneous circulation to
ensure optimal functional and neurological outcome.
