Causes of cardiorespiratory arrest
Breathing problems

Decreased respiratory
drive
◦ CNS depression

Decreased respiratory
effort
◦ muscle weakness
◦ nerve damage
◦ restrictive chest defect
◦ pain from fractured ribs

Lung disorders
◦ pneumothorax
◦ haemothorax
◦ infection
◦ acute exacerbation
COPD
◦ asthma
◦ pulmonary embolus
◦ ARDS

Airway

Talking
Difficulty breathing, distressed, choking
Shortness of breath
Noisy breathing
◦ stridor, wheeze, gurgling
See-saw respiratory pattern,
accessory muscles
A
FLS
ABCDE Approach
Airway
Treatment of airway obstruction
 Oxygen
 Airway opening
- i.e. head tilt, chin lift, jaw thrust
 Simple adjuncts
 Advanced techniques
- e.g. LMA, tracheal tube
A
FLS
ABCDE approach
B
Breathing
Recognition of breathing problems
 Look
◦ Inspect respiratory distress, accessory muscles,
cyanosis, respiratory rate, chest deformity, conscious
level
 Listen
◦ Auscultate breath sounds, noisy breathing
 Feel
◦ palpat expansion, percussion, tracheal position
 Pulse oxymetry
FLS
ABCDE approach
Breathing
Treatment of breathing problems
 Airway
 Oxygen
 Treat underlying cause
- e.g. drain pneumothorax
- e.g . Nebulizers

Support breathing if inadequate
- e.g. ventilate with bag valve mask

Summary
Early recognition of patients at risk may
prevent cardiorespiratory arrest
 Airway, breathing or circulation problems
can cause cardiorespiratory arrest
