Cardiac arrest

cardiovascular disease. About 60% of these deaths due to sudden cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest always comes sudden without any warning, it affects both young and adult, and the symptoms of the affected patient are no breathing and loss of consciousness. It can happen at any place home, work and other places. Most of these cases end to death. We can save many lives through training more people to do CPR. If the effective CPR applied soon after cardiac arrest that could lead to increase the…

Cardiac Arrest Love is just not a word but an action that could mean a lot more to a person. Like when you see your loved ones and huge them. So when you’re that passionate and have the love you feel very emotional to that person. The theme is explaining how affectionate you’re to your loved ones and how you’ll do anything to save them. Like whenever you have been trying to keep your mind in place but can’t because, you’re thinking how your loved ones are. Even when you’re not thinking about…

For the major focal point of this discourse, as explained before, advance directives are used to convey the patient and families’ preference in treatment, including to do or not resuscitate when the patient may suffer from cardiac or respiratory arrest after. The aim of CPR is to save the patient, but the evidence shows that the implementation of CPR does not ensure a high rate of survival to hospital discharge (Enohumah et al., 2006; Landry, Parker, & Phillips, 1992; McNally et al., 2011). Due…

Therapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest has shown improved neurological outcome rate in multiple trials. Current AHA guidelines report Class 1, Level B recommendation of therapeutic hypothermia for cardiac arrest with out-of-hospital shockable rhythm while it is a Class 2b, level B recommendation for in-hospital cardiac arrest with any rhythm or out of hospital arrest with a non- shockable rhythm. In North Shore Medical Center, therapeutic hypothermia is offered to all cardiac arrest patients…

With CPR and First Aid training you could learn how to bring someone back to life, help them stop choking, or more simple procedures such as making a tourniquet to stop bleeding. If CPR is performed close to a cardiac arrest, choking, or whatever it may be can triple a person’s chance of survival. “Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States” (Monette, Michael. 2012). If teachers take a stand to advise students to be bold and encourage…

know what to do when a person goes into cardiac arrest. In school as long as the student has a year of training in CPR and as long as they can past a CPR written test and then pass a test performed on a manikin baby and adult manikin they will receive a certification in CPR. In order to graduate a student would have to take one year of CPR. If a child knows CPR they don’t have to feel helpless when a family member or another person goes into cardiac arrest they can perform CPR and save a…

article that I choose was called “Targeted Temperature Management at 33°C versus 36°C after Cardiac Arrest”. The objective of the article was to find at which temperature was it better to induce hypothermia on a patient who had gone into cardiac arrest in an out-of-hospital scenario to prevent neurological damage and the. The researchers hoped that if by inducing hypothermia early on after the cardiac arrest and loss of consciousness there would be little to no brain damage. The researchers…

Mylan Pharmaceuticals has been in the spotlight lately, but not exactly in a positive way. The media and consumers have made it known that they don’t appreciate excessive price hikes in one of the many drugs Mylan produces. The EpiPen is designed for patients who have a severe allergic reaction to some substance or extreme cases of asthma attacks. Unfortunately for those that need the drug, prices have increased from $57 in 2007 to about $616 for a two-pack today—an increase of 1,080%. Just…

Discussion Vascular access, along with airway management is a standard of emergency care, and is an essential part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in many groups of patients. Peripheral vascular access is the most efficient means of gaining vascular access as it’s induces minimal trauma, is the safest method of gaining access to venous circulation. It may however be difficult in stressful situations and require several attempts despite its widespread usage failure may result in prehospital…
