Product Information

Alert the emergency medical services (EMS) immediately by dialling 999 on your phone, if a person is unconscious with absent or abnormal breathing. Maintaining head tilt and chin lift, take your mouth away and watch for the chest to fall as air comes out. Members of the public should start CPR for presumed cardiac arrest without concerns of causing harm to those not in cardiac arrest.

Recognizing potential risks and hazards at work or in the community, assessing their likelihood and impact, and taking proactive steps to reduce risks through infrastructure upgrades and safety measures.Preferably use a two-thumb encircling technique for chest compression in infants – be careful to ensure complete chest recoil after each chest compression. Single rescuers might alternatively use a two-finger technique.

In cases where there is more than one rescuer, a second rescuer should call the EMS immediately upon recognition of unconsciousness, preferably using the speaker function of a mobile phone. While performing the rescue breaths, note any gag or cough response to your action. These responses, or their absence, will form part of your ongoing assessment of ‘signs of life’

End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring is recommended for intubated patients at risk of CPA ( I-A). 2,5 EtCO2 correlates well with cardiac output and rapidly drops to zero at CPA onset. 5,9 Additional reasons for rapid decreases include: 9 Those trained only in adult BLS (may include healthcare providers and members of the public) who have no specific knowledge of paediatric resuscitation, should use the adult sequence they are familiar with, including the paediatric modifications if possible (see below). Keeping your hands on their chest, release the compression and allow their chest to return to its original position.

Anti-choking devices: A recent systematic review focussed on these devices. Despite broad study inclusion criteria, the review identified only small case series, manikin studies, and cadaver studies, which were limited to a single device type. No reports of harm were identified, but their limited use in clinical practice means it is too early to conclude that their use is harm-free. The review recommended the need for further research before device use can be supported in practice. Using your body weight (not just your arms), press straight down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) on their chest. When titrating IV fluids and vasopressors, the primary endpoints of central venous oxygen saturation (> 70%) and lactate (< 2.5 mmol/L) coupled with the following secondary endpoints may be considered ( IIb-B): 2,10,11Keep the patient flat, maintain an open airway by either continued head tilt and chin lift or jaw thrust. Blood gas and electrolyte analysis may be helpful in evaluating CPR effectiveness and identifying underlying causes. 5 Whether it's a burn, a fall, or an allergic reaction, a first aid kit's supplies can help reduce discomfort, avoid further problems, and offer temporary relief until emergency medical help can be obtained. Several key components However, ECG or Doppler blood pressure measurement to detect impending CPA is reasonable to perform in at-risk patients ( IIa-C) ( Figure 6). Evidence of an ECG rhythm does not always indicate a perfusing rhythm; absence of a Doppler signal does not always indicate CPA. 2,5

c) The Customer must allow 48 hours for the supply of a consumable after receipt by Alsco of a variation under this clause. A notification is deemed to be received at the time of receipt by Alsco not the time of transmission or sending by the Customer. Make up to 5 attempts to achieve effective breaths. If still unsuccessful, move on to chest compressions. 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 a) Alsco shall mean Alsco Pty.
