4 “R's” of CPR

Risk: factors in your life that can develop heart problems/stroke

Recognize: a serious developing emergency

React: what to do you see a developing emergency

Resuscitate: how to do CPR to someone who is choking

What is a Heart Attack?

Plaque built up in heart arteries, depriving it of circulation/oxygen

What is a Cardiac Arrest?

When the heart stops beating, ending up in not pumping blood to the rest of the body

What is a Stroke?

Similar to heart attacks, but instread when an artery supplying the brain gets blocked

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is to perform physical actions to resuscitate someone:

1. Pushing on someones chest to force bloodflow

2. Mouth-to-mouth breathing to provide oxygen to lungs

What is Defibrillation?

When a heart is fibrillating (movement that doesnt pump blood), this device delivers a shock to the heart to make it pump again.

Risk Factors (Heart Disease & Stroke)

Smoking, High blood cholesterol/pressure, Diabetes, Obesity, Lack of Exercise, Stress

Recognize - Signals of a Heart Attack

Pain, Pale Skin, Puffing, Pooped, Puking

Recognize - Stroke

Paralysis of Face/Arm/Leg, Speech Problems, Dizziness, Tingling/Numbness in Face/Arm/Leg, and sudden Headache

React

Check for hazards, Holler for help, Position the person, Loosen tight clothing, Talk to the person

Visibility with Information

Medications, Allergies

Resuscitate

Airway: take out anything blocking air from getting in

Breathing: breathe for the person, do mouth-to-mouth

Circulation: start chest compressions to help blood circulate

Defibrillation: make sure help is coming, especially someone with defibrillator

also ask for permission except unconsious and child

When Someone Collapses

1. Check hazards

2. Asses responsiveness

3. Call 911

4. Open airway

5. Check breathing

6. Give 2 breaths

7. Landmark for chest compressions

8. Give 30 compressions and 2 breaths

When someone Chokes

1. Assess airway blockage

2. Holler for help

3. Give abdominal thrusts
