2010 AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (AHA) Guidelines: The ABCs of CPR Rearranged to "CAB" According to the AHA‚ chest compressions should be started immediately on anyone who is unresponsive and is not breathing normally. Oxygen will be present in the lungs and bloodstream within the first few minutes‚ so initiating chest compressions first will facilitate distribution of that oxygen into the brain and heart sooner. Previously‚ starting with "A" (airway) rather than "C" (compressions) caused significant

CPR‚ Adult Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a skill that almost anyone can learn to perform. It can be lifesaving when performed on a person whose breathing or heartbeat has stopped. When the heart stops beating‚ the flow of blood to the brain and other vital organs also stops. This usually causes brain damage or death if not treated within minutes. CPR consists of steps that are based on the CAB sequence: chest compressions‚ airway‚ and breathing. If you see an adult collapse and lose

Shock Shock is a syndrome characterized by decreased tissue perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism. This results in an imbalance between the supply of and demand for oxygen and nutrients. The exchange of oxygen and nutrients at the cellular level is essential to life. When a cell experiences a state of hypoperfusion‚ the demand for oxygen and nutrients exceeds the supply at the microcirculatory level. Classification of Shock The four main categories of shock are * cardiogenic‚: *

I. Introduction a. Audience hook: Lives could be saved if more of the population was trained in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). According to the Heart Rhythm Society “An estimated 382‚800 people experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in the United States each year” (Sudden Cardiac Arrest Facts). Only 32% SCA victims get CPR because most bystanders do not have training. Training CPR and AED would save lives (About SCA: Sudden Cardiac
