Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or better known as CPR is the revival or return to function of the heart and lungs. This is done by Cardiac massage‚ artificial respiration‚ and drugs to maintain the circulation of oxygenated blood to the brain. In 1950’s a surgeon opened the chest of a patient that suffered a heart attack and subsequent and cardiac arrest. After opening the papatientschest he performed a heart massage‚ which was a successful maneuver. This was turned out to be the basis for the

it from producing pain signals. Aspirin can be good or bad by helping to prevent heart attacks. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic commonly used in medical procedures. Lidocaine is also an antiarrhythmic agent‚ one that prevents or treats certain cardiac arrhythmias. Lidocaine works by preventing activity of the nerve or heart cell membrane. By blocking the entry of sodium ions the cell is unable to carry messages from cell to cell. Lidocaine is commonly used as a topical and local anesthetic.

1. Describe the main muscle groups of the body and their function There are three main categories that the muscles in the human body fall into: • Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle is the foremost area of concern for a sports masseuse. The main functions of this muscle group is to move the body in a voluntary manner‚ for example‚ if you want to kick a ball you will voluntarily have to send a signal through your brain to inform the muscles in your legs to contract/flex/extend and execute the skill

The diagnosis category I would choose in this case would be Diseases of the Circulatory System—Codes 390–459. The patient is complaining of chest pains and feels the patient might be having a cardiac event you would use these codes because they deal with the circulatory system. * A 72-year-old diabetic female exhibits a non-healing wound

An AED Is a device that delivers an electric current to "shock" the heart in order to restart a rhythm and beat. It should be used when a person goes into sudden cardiac arrest. AED stands for automated external defibrillator. The steps for using an AED are 1. turn on AED. 2. expose victims chest and wipe dry to ensure that the pads stick properly to the chest. 3. Apply the pads to chest. 4. plug the connector into AED‚ if necessary. 5. Let the AED analyze the heartbeat‚ and tell all bystanders
