ESTABLISH UNRESPONSIVENESS
Tap
and Shout are you all right Check for absent/abnormal breathing by scanning the chest for movement
CIRCULATION
Check corotid pulse for 5-10 seconds If no pulse Begin Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation
Compress center of chest (lower of sternum) Ratio: 30:2 compressions to breaths Depth: at least 2 inches Rate: at least 100 compressions per minute Allow complete chest recoil Minimize interruptions Switch providers every 2 minutes Avoid excessive ventilation
1breath every 5-6 seconds (10-12 breaths per min.) Check pulse every 2 minutes
DEFIBRILLATION
If
no pulse check for shockable rhythm as soon as AED arrives Provide shocks as indicated Follow each shock immediately with CPR compressions

AIRWAY
proper placement
Device to prevent dislodgement Monitor airway placement with continuous quantitative waveform Capnography
BREATHING
criteria: chest rise and cyanosis Quantitative waveform capnography Oxygen saturation
CIRCULATION
Monitor CPR quality Attach monitor/Defibrillator Monitor for arrhythmias or arrest rhythms Provide defibrillation/Cardioversion Obtain IV/IO access Give appropriate drugs Give fluids if needed
