The rescuer should lock their elbows and position their hands on the sternum, applying force perpendicular to the victim's chest. Incorrect positioning can lead to inadequate pressure on the heart, insufficient blood circulation, or even injury to the victim, such as rib fractures .
Defibrillators help by delivering an electric shock to reset the heart's rhythm during CPR. The protocol involves attaching an AED or manual defibrillator quickly without interrupting compressions, following prompts, delivering shocks, and resuming CPR immediately after. Rhythms are checked regularly to decide the need for additional shocks .
CPR should not be performed if the victim is stiff and rigid, has severe injuries to the neck, chest, head, or face, if there is no consent from the victim's family, the victim is declared dead, or if the victim bears a 'Do Not Attempt Resuscitation' indicator . These restrictions are important to prevent futile or harmful interventions and respect the wishes and condition of the victim .
The 'Chain of Survival' in CPR includes early recognition and activation of emergency response, immediate high-quality CPR, rapid defibrillation, effective advanced life support, and integrated post-cardiac arrest care. Each link is essential to increase the chances of survival: early recognition allows prompt EMS activation; high-quality CPR maintains blood flow; defibrillation restores heart rhythm; advanced support manages more complex needs; and post-arrest care optimizes recovery .
The stages of death in CPR protocol are Clinical Death and Biological Death. Clinical Death occurs when breathing and heartbeats stop temporarily (within 0-4 minutes), where the chance of recovery is 25-30% . Biological Death is the true death following insufficient oxygen to the brain, leading to brain cell death and eventual complete death (after 4 minutes), where recovery chances drop to 5-10% .
A stable and firm surface is critical for effective CPR to ensure that the chest compressions are deep enough to circulate blood effectively. If the surface is unstable or too soft, the compressions may not adequately press the sternum against the heart, reducing the efficacy of the resuscitation efforts .
Respiratory causes for requiring CPR include drowning, choking, stroke, drug overdose, electric shock, inhaling toxic fumes, and respiratory tract inflammation . These are detected through signs like cessation of breathing or difficulty breathing. Circulatory causes include heart attack, swollen heart, and abnormal heartbeats, detected by lack of pulse or unresponsiveness .
Proper airway management is crucial for successful CPR. It involves tilting the victim's head back to open the airway and remove obstructions before delivering rescue breaths. Failure in airway management can lead to ineffective ventilation and insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, significantly reducing survival chances .
The historical developments in CPR were crucial for current practices. Dr. James Elam and Peter Safar discovered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, while Dr. Kounwenhowen developed cardiac compression . These techniques were integrated in 1973, forming the basis of modern CPR. This integration allows effective restoration of breathing and circulation, enhancing survival rates during cardiac emergencies .
Common mistakes that lead to unsuccessful CPR include failing to open the airway properly, not pinching the nose during mouth-to-mouth breaths, performing CPR on an unstable surface, incorrect hand positioning during compressions, and a slow compression rate . These can be avoided through proper training, ensuring the head is correctly tilted to open the airway, checking for stable ground, and maintaining recommended compression speed and depth .
