Question
Answer
name parts of BLS 1ry survey   **1st check responsiveness, activate EMS, get AED, then go back to pt and Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Defib  
🗑
Name steps of ea part of BLS 1ry survey   Airway: head tilt-chin lift or jaw thrust w/o head extension if trauma; Breath: look chest rise/fall, listen/feel for air moving, 2 rescue breaths >1sec; Circul: pulse check 5-10sec…CPR until AED; Defib: if rhythm shockable->shock immed CPR starting w CC  
🗑
Name steps of ACLS 2ry survey   A: advanced airway needed? Placed&secured; Breath: assess oxygenation and vent w O2 sat, capnometry/capnography, give O2; Circul: assess rhythm, vol resusc nec? BP mgmt? Action: IV access, ECG leads, Rx, IVF; DDx: find underlying causes and treat  
🗑
in respiratory arrest go through steps thru end of BLS 1ry   check pt responsive, activate emergency response, get AED, then BLS 1ry: A=open airway; B=look chest rise, listen/feel air mvmt; 2 breaths ea 1 sec; C=feel carotid 5-10 sec; give 10-12 breaths/min and recheck pulse q2min  
🗑

describe using AEDs   power on, wipe sweat/water put white pad above R chest, red pad L side, what left to L shoulder (white to right, red to ribs, what's left to L shoulder); make sure NO ONE touching pt and analyze rhythm, if tells you to shock say I'm going to shock on 3,
