1. CARDIOPULMONARY
RESUSCITATION

2. COURSE OBJECTIVES
• To prepare you to react to critical health
emergencies
• To learn the skills that will make you an
important link in the CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
• Learn how to recognize an emergency and
what you can do to help
• Learn how to perform CPR and how to
deal with an obstructed airway in an adult

3. What is CPR and why do it?
• CPR is an emergency procedure – keeps blood
and oxygen flowing when the heart stops
beating or during an airway obstruction
• The purpose of CPR is to keep person’s brain
and heart supplied with oxygen until EMS arrives
• CPR alone does not save lives!

4. CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
• Healthy Choices
• Early Recognition
• Early access
• Early CPR
• Early defibrillation
• Early advanced care
• Early rehabilitation

5. 1. HEALTHY CHOICES
(To decrease chance of developing risk factors that cause heart disease)
RISK FACTORS THAT RISK FACTORS THAT CAN
CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BE CONTROLLED
• Age • Smoking
• Gender • Lack of exercise
• High BP
• Family history
• High cholesterol
• Race • Obesity
• Diabetes
• Stress

6. 2. EARLY RECOGNITION
Knowing how your body works - first step to understanding CVD and
the warning signs of heart disease and stroke
HEART
• Hollow muscle
• Size of fist Lt Atria
• 2 sided pump Rt Atria
– RT side = deoxygenated
blood
– LT side = oxygenated
blood
• 4 chambers Rt Ventricle
Lt Ventricle
– 2 atria
– 2 ventricles
• Coronary arteries

7. Definitions
• Heart Attack – blockage in one or more coronary
arteries causing oxygen deprived heart muscle
to die
• Angina – partial blockage in one or more
coronary arteries, causing chest discomfort
usually when the person in physically active
• Stroke – sudden interruption of blood supply to
the brain caused by blockage or bursting of
blood vessel
