Happy Anniversary

Part 1: Executive Summary
2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care
The publication of the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care marks the 50th anniversary of modern CPR. In 1960 Kouwenhoven, Knickerbocker, and Jude documented 14 patients who survived cardiac arrest with the application of closed chest cardiac massage. That same year, at the meeting of the Maryland Medical Society in Ocean City, MD, the combination of chest compressions and rescue breathing was introduced. Two years later, in 1962, direct-current, monophasic waveform defibrillation was described. In 1966 the American Heart Association (AHA) developed the first cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines, which have been followed by periodic updates. During the past 50 years the fundamentals of early recognition and activation, early CPR, early defibrillation, and early access to emergency medical care have saved hundreds of thousands of lives around the world. These lives demonstrate the importance of resuscitation research and clinical translation and are cause to celebrate this 50th anniversary of CPR.

Lower your risk of stroke

March 14, 2013

Green tea, coffee may help lower stroke risk

Study Highlight: Green tea and coffee may help lower your risks of having a stroke, especially when both are a regular part of your diet. People who drank either green tea or coffee daily had about approximately 20~30 percent lower risk for one type of stroke, compared to those who seldom drank them.

PEARS

Updated to reflect the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC, PEARS® helps healthcare providers develop the knowledge and skills needed for emergency evaluation and treatment of seriously ill infants and children.

PEARS teaches providers how to recognize respiratory distress, shock and cardiac arrest, and provide appropriate lifesaving interventions within the initial minutes of response until the child is transferred to an advanced life support provider. The goal of PEARS is to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured infants and children, resulting in improved outcomes.

Cardiac Arrest & children

Did you know that 60% of children who die die from trauma. That is right ...trauma be it from falls, car accidents, stabbings, shootings, abuse, etc. The other 40% die from respiratory illnesses like Asthma, pneumonia, croup, and so on. Sure there is a small percentage who die from congenital heart defects but it is a very small percentage in comparison. The key is prevention! Trauma is preventable no matter what the mechanism. Respiratory issues are not preventable but letting them get to a critical point before treating them or getting them medical help is. If a child looks to be in distress the are, get them help, call 911. Better to be safe than sorry. For more information we at Safety 911 New England offer programs for medical providers to deal with such emergencies such as EPC, PEARS, as well as PALS.

Stroke

Ever heard of the term F.A.S.T. when it comes to a stroke? With a stroke time is of the essence so it is very important to recognize the signs & symptoms of a stroke. F - Face. Look for "facial droop" one side of the face will look lower than the other side. A - Arm. Is one arm weaker the the other? If you suspect a stroke then hold both arms straight out in front of you and see if on arm falls that is a sign of "arm drift". S - Speech. Are the words coming out slurred, or having trouble speaking?. T - Time. Again time is of the essence call 911 ASAP do not go to the hospital yourself. Not all hospitals can treat a stroke or a heart attach that's why it is best to call 911. The Paramedics can start treatment and transport to the appropriate hospital. Learn more at one of our First Aid classes at Safety 911 New England.

AED's

AED (Automated External Defibrillator). It is Automated (it talks to you telling you what to do step by step), It is external meaning the Defibrillation pads go on the outside of the body, and it provides defibrillation. Many people have the idea that this machine "jump starts" the heart. This idea could not be further from the truth. Believe it or not The goal of the defibrillator is to stop the heart. When someone goes into cardiac arrest their heart is usually in one of two rhythms called V-tach, or V-Fib (abbreviated). The heart has disorganized electrical activity & is not pumping blood. We want the heart to become organized again and begin pumping blood. The way we try to do this is to defibrillate it and stun it with electricity so that the heart stops. Because the heart makes it's own electricity (Automaticity) the hope is that the heart will stop and through it's Automaticity start up again on it's own at a normal organized rhythm and pumping blood. I liken it to someone having an anxiety attack and out of control. (the heart). Someone else smacks that person in the face (Defibrillation) that person stops what they are doing and goes back to being normal (Automaticity). One more thing...use the AED ASAP the ability to defibrillate someone does diminish over time. For CPR & AED classes please visit safety911ne.com.

Why not ventilations?

When a sudden cardiac arrest occur res Why are chest compressions enough why not the ventilation's (mouth to mouth) too? Remember the goal of CPR is to circulate oxygenated blood because the heart is no longer working. That sudden cardiac arrest was just breathing when they collapsed so there is oxygen already in the blood we just want you (the bystander) to call 911 and push hard and fast on the middle of the chest. This circulate that oxygenated blood and will buy time until EMS arrives. If there is an AED close by please use it it is very simple and will tell you what to do step by step. More about that tomorrow. Please visit us for a class at safety911ne.com.
