Page 2: Ideal Sequence of Care
Five essential events during cardiac arrest:
Recognition and action
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
Defibrillation
Advanced care
Post-arrest care
Reference: American Heart Association.
Page 3: Before Helping, Take the Appropriate Actions
Size up the scene for safety.
Prepare to assist if the person is unresponsive.
Call 9-1-1 for Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Implement measures to prevent disease transmission.
Page 4: How to Call 9-1-1
Speak slowly and clearly.
Provide key information:
Location of the incident
Your phone number and name
Brief account of what happened
Number of people needing assistance
Description of the person's condition and what is being done
Follow instructions given by the dispatcher and remain with the person until EMS arrives.
Page 5: Legal Aspects of Helping
There is a moral obligation to assist, though not always a legal one.
Good Samaritan laws protect you from lawsuits if:
You act with good intentions.
You provide care without compensation.
You operate within your training scope.
You avoid gross negligence.
Page 6: Negligence
Negligent actions may include:
Providing substandard care.
Withholding care when a duty to act exists.
Causing injury or harm.
Exceeding your level of training.
Abandoning the person in need.
Page 7: Consent
Types of consent:
Informed consent
Implied consent
Consent for minors
Page 8: Preventing Disease Transmission
Body fluids may carry infectious germs.
Use standard precautions:
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like masks and face shields.

Page 10: Difference Between a Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest
Heart attack:
Heart muscle tissue damage due to reduced blood supply, often from a clot.
Cardiac arrest:
Heart stops beating, leading to sudden cardiac death.
Page 11: Performing CPR - RAB-CAB Method
Steps for CPR:
R: Check for Responsiveness.
A: Activate EMS by calling 9-1-1 and obtain an AED.
B: Check for Breathing and place the person in recovery position if not breathing.
C: Provide Chest Compressions.
A: Open the Airway.
B: Give Breaths.

Instruction on how to place a person in the recovery position during CPR.
Page 13: Adult and Child CPR - Initial Steps
R: Check Responsiveness by tapping the shoulder and shouting.
A: Activate EMS after confirming unresponsiveness.
Page 14: Adult and Child CPR - Breathing Check
B: Observe chest for movement for a maximum of 10 seconds.
Page 15: Adult and Child CPR - Compressions
C: Position hands correctly on the breastbone and push hard and fast.
Page 16: Adult and Child CPR - Airway
A: Open the airway using the head tilt-chin lift method.
Page 17: Adult and Child CPR - Breaths
B: Deliver 2 breaths ensuring chest rise, then resume chest compressions.
Page 18: Continue CPR until AED is available
Cycles: Continue 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths until AED arrives.
Page 19: Compression-Only CPR
Encourages untrained bystanders to participate in CPR.
Steps:
Ask someone else to call 9-1-1.
Push hard and fast at 100–120 compressions per minute.
Page 20: Continuation of Compression-Only CPR
Keep compressions going until help arrives or fatigue requires switching.
Page 21: Infant CPR - Initial Steps
R: Check responsiveness by tapping the infant’s foot.
A: If alone, perform CPR for 5 sets before calling 9-1-1.
Page 22: Infant CPR - Breathing Check
B: Observe movement in the infant’s chest and face.
Page 23: Infant CPR - Compressions and Breaths
C: Perform chest compressions with fingers, then give 2 breaths ensuring a seal.
Page 24: Chapter Introduction - Choking Care
Title: First Aid, CPR, and AED Standard - Chapter 3
Page 25: Recognizing Airway Obstruction
Mild obstruction: Good air exchange, able to cough.
Severe obstruction: Difficulty breathing, weak cough, inability to speak.
Page 26: Adult and Child Choking - Initial Steps
Confirm if the person is choking and shout for help.
Page 27: Adult and Child Choking - Heimlich Maneuver
Locate the navel and perform abdominal thrusts with fists.
Page 28: Unresponsive Choking
If unresponsive, begin CPR with additional steps: Compressions and breaths.
Page 29: Infant Choking - Initial Steps
Administer up to 5 back blows to the infant.
Page 30: Infant Choking - Continuing Care
Alternate between 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts until assistance arrives or the infant recovers.
Page 31: Chapter Introduction - Automated External Defibrillation
Title: First Aid, CPR, and AED Standard - Chapter 4
Page 32: Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
AED definition: An electronic device that analyzes heart rhythms and delivers shocks if necessary.
Function: Resets electrical activity of the heart to restore normal rhythm.
Page 33: Common Elements About AEDs
Different AED models exist; users should familiarize with specific displays and features.
Page 34: Using an AED - Basic Steps
Turn on the AED and attach pads to the bare chest.
Page 35: Using an AED - Instructions
Ensure no one is touching the person and allow the AED to analyze the heart rhythm.
Page 36: Resuscitation Situations - Drowning Person
Administer CPR immediately after removal from water.
Use rescue breathing techniques if appropriate, and turn the person to the side if vomiting occurs.
