Product Information

If you have been trained in CPR, including rescue breaths, and feel confident using your skills, you should give chest compressions with rescue breaths. Try to minimise spinal movement as far as possible during CPR without hampering the process of resuscitation, which clearly has priority. Most choking events in children and infants occur during play or whilst eating, when a carer is usually present. Events are therefore frequently witnessed, and interventions are most often initiated when the child or infant is conscious. A laryngoscope should always be used and tube placement confirmed by visualization (tube passing through the arytenoids), auscultation, observing chest wall movement, and capnometry. 2,4 Atropine can be used in patients with CPA related to increased vagal tone and associated asystole or pulseless electrical activity ( IIb-B).

The management of the choking child with the sequence of reversing partial or complete obstruction of the airways remains unchanged. Allow adequate time for chest recoil to occur (approximately 50% of the whole cycle should be the relaxation phase, i.e., from the start of one compression to the next). Although ventilation remains a particularly important component of CPR in children, rescuers who are unable or unwilling to provide breaths should be encouraged to perform at least compression-only CPR. A child is far more likely to be harmed if the bystander does nothing.Scissors and tweezers: These instruments help in removing splinters and foreign objects as well as cutting tape, clothing, and bandages. Uninterrupted, high quality chest compressions are vital, with attention being paid to all components of each chest compression including the rate, depth and allowing adequate time for chest recoil to occur (avoiding lean on the chest). Approximately 50% of the whole chest compression cycle should be the relaxation phase (one cycle is from the start of one compression to the next). Chest compression pauses should be minimised so that 80% or more of the CPR cycle is comprised of chest compressions. b) Customer shall mean the original Customer whether an individual, partnership, company or other organisation including any successors in title.

Place the heel of 1 hand on the centre of the child's chest and push down by 5cm (about 2 inches), which is approximately one-third of the chest diameter. The quality (depth) of chest compressions is very important. Use 2 hands if you can't achieve a depth of 5cm using 1 hand. Running a CPR training event in your community or organisation is a great way to help save lives. We have a range of free resources to help you to get started. Our free resources Full guide on how to teach CPR Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations, led by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) the involvement of stakeholders from around the world including members of the public and cardiac arrest survivors. A first aid kit is a collection of medical tools and materials that are used to treat injuries, diseases, and emergencies right away. It is intended to provide critical medical support until trained medical assistance can be obtained. In situations where accidents or medical emergencies could occur, such as homes, businesses, schools, and vehicles, first aid kits are frequently utilized.Excellent PCA care is required to minimize the likelihood of CPA recurrence and maximize the chance of a patient returning home with its owners. One study showed that over 50% of dogs and cats will suffer another CPA event while in the hospital, which correlates with human data on the subject. 5 If you are a lone rescuer and you have to leave a victim to ring the ambulance service, alert the ambulance service first and then start CPR.

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops pumping blood around the body, and causes a person to collapse and stop breathing normally. If there is only one rescuer, with a mobile phone, they should call help first (and activate the speaker function) immediately after the initial rescue breaths. Proceed to the next step while waiting for an answer.With your other hand, grasp the far leg just above the knee and pull it up, keeping the foot on the ground. b) In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute, performance or breach of this Agreement, each such claim shall be submitted to arbitration in the courts of Sydney, New South Wales. CPA may be caused by significant electrolyte derangements. 2,5,6 If underlying electrolyte derangements are suspected or known, electrolyte analysis to guide therapy is recommended ( I-C) and electrolyte monitoring during CPR may be considered in all patients ( IIb-B). 2,5

If defibrillation is unsuccessful, escalation of defibrillation energy is reasonable (IIa-B). 2,6 Readers with electrical defibrillators should view the RECOVER drug dosage chart specific to their defibrillator type for recommendations on energy selection (see veccs.org). 2 Additional ALS Therapies Clench your fist and place it between the umbilicus and xiphisternum. Grasp your fist with your other hand and pull sharply inwards and upwards. Repeat up to 4 more times.While limited data is available regarding PCA monitoring, the RECOVER authors recommend use of monitoring appropriate for a critically-ill patient. 2,5 This monitoring should detect impending recurrence of CPA as well as guide therapy to avoid its recurrence ( I-C). 2,5 Safety First Aid's opening hours are between 8.30am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday, and our sales team will be happy to deal with any queries you might have during these times.
