    There are four steps in caring for a heart attack. The first step is to immediately call 9-1-1, if a heart attack is suspected or if the victim's chest pain does not so away in a victim taking nitroglycerin. However, medications to dissolve a clot must be given early. Also, do not drive yourself or anyone else to the hospital. The second step is to monitor the victims breathing. If he/she becomes unresponsive and stops breathing begin CPR. The third step is to help the victim to get in the most comfortable resting position, usually sitting. Then loosen the clothing around the neck and waist. Also, be calm and reassuring. The fourth step is, if the victim is alert, and able to swallow and not allergic to aspirin, then help the victim take one adult aspirin (325mg) or two chew-able children's aspirins (81mg each). Also, pulverize or have the victim crunch them with his/her teeth before swallowing. Then find out if the victim is using nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin tablets,…

    Neurocardiogenic Syncope is where a person's blood pressure rapidly falls, and blood flow to the brain becomes very low. The person loses consciousness, usually for only a few seconds. Neurocardiogenic syncope can happen suddenly, in response to a startling event or strain (a needle stick, pain, fear, cough, or defecation). It can also occur after prolonged standing, heat exposure, or exertion, and sometimes stress can cause it too. Some people experience a period of ill-feeling for a few minutes before actually passing out. After a fainting episode, further testing is often recommended to make sure a serious cause of syncope (such as an abnormal heart rhythm) isn’t responsible.…

    Life support refers to the emergency treatments and techniques performed in an emergency situation in order to support life after the failure of one or more vital organs. A patient requires life support when one or more vital organs fail, due to causes such as trauma, infection, cancer, heart attack, or chronic disease. Among the purposes of life support are: establishing and maintaining the ABC's of resuscitation (airway, breathing, and circulation), restoring the patient's homeostasis (the internal chemical and physiological balance of the body), and protecting the patient from complications of the underlying disease and its treatment (Morris, Stacey). Treatments of life support include: oxygen, intravenous (IV) fluids with sugar and salts,…
