Introduction to CPR
BLS
ACLS
Time is Critical!
• > 300,000 people experience sudden
cardiac death in prehospital settings each
year.
• If resuscitation begins within a few
minutes, many of these individuals have a
chance for survival.
Time is Critical!
To begin resuscitation within a few minutes:
• Diagnosis
• EMS immediately activated
• CPR started immediately
• Defibrillation within minutes
What is the function of the
circulatory system?
The Circulatory System
• Delivers O2 and nutrients
• Removes CO2 and wastes
Time is Critical!
• Brain damage begins
in 4–6 min
• Brain damage
irreversible in 8–10
min
Circulation must be
restored within 4– 6
minutes.
CPR
• Combines external chest compressions
with artificial ventilation:
– Provides 30% (or less) of normal circulation
– Only effective for short period of time
Causes of Cardiac Arrest
Causes of Cardiac Arrest
•
•
•
•
•
•
Heart disease
Respiratory arrest
Medical emergencies
Drowning and suffocation
Congenital heart defects
Trauma
The cause of
cardiac arrest is
important
BUT
do not delay CPR to
obtain history

CPR – 1 Rescuer
• Assess
responsiveness
• Summon EMS
• Position the
patient
CPR – 1 Rescuer
• Check for a pulse
(≤ 10 seconds)
CPR – 1 Rescuer
• If there is no
pulse, find your
landmarks, lower
half of the
sternum, between
the nipples
CPR – 1 Rescuer
• Begin chest
compressions
CPR – 1 Rescuer
• Perform 30 chest
compressions
• Push hard
• Push fast
• Allow the chest to
recoil after each
compression
CPR – 1 Rescuer
• Administer two
ventilations then
return to
compressions
CPR – 1 Rescuer
• Check for a pulse
(≤ 10 seconds)
• Normal pulse
• Open the airway
• If there is no
breathing, give
two breaths, each
lasting 1 second
CPR – 2 Rescuer

CPR - Children
• Use heel of one
hand
• Keep airway open
with other hand
• 30 compressions:2
ventilations if alone
(2 rescuers use
15:2)
CPR - Infant
• ABC
• 30 compressions:2
ventilations if alone
• 15 compressions: 2
ventilations with 2
rescuers
Sequence of Survival
Chain of Survival for Adult
Sequence of Survival
Also known as Chain of Survival
• Recognition and Early
Access
• Early CPR
• Defibrillation
• Early Advanced Care
Recognition and Early Access
• Depends on public
education
• EMS must be
immediately
notified
• 9-1-1 dispatchers
can provide CPR
instructions
Early CPR
• Must begin within
4-6 minutes of
collapse
• Public training is
necessary
• Rescuers have a
critical role
Defibrillation
•Ventricular fibrillation
a common cause of
arrest
•Can only correct with
defibrillation

Ventricular Fibrillation
• The most common cause of sudden
cardiac death
– disorganized heart activity
– Heart muscle cannot pump blood
Ventricular Fibrillation
• Requires immediate defibrillation
• CPR lengthens window of survival
Early Advanced Care
• Medication
• Advanced airway
management
• Post-resuscitation
care
AED
AEDs
• Safe, accurate &
lightweight
• Easy to operate
AED
• AEDs in public
places
• Training the public

• Standard is set of 1

• Immediately restart
CPR for 2 minutes
then check pulse
Summary of BLS
• Continual beating, or contracting, of the
heart is necessary to keep blood
circulating throughout the body.
• Brain damage begins in 4 to 6 minutes of
cardiac arrest.
• There are many causes of sudden cardiac
death, but the most common is ventricular
fibrillation.
