Heart and the Circulatory System Discussion

2A. High Quality CPR for Adult, Childrenand Infants (Videos) 1 2A. Cardiac Chain of Survival (Adult, Child and Infant) Video Now that we have finished looking at the presentation, let's take this opportunity to learn a bit about how "you can make a difference." Click on the video below to watch it. Then, follow the instructions below the video. 10. Cardiac Chain of Survival (Adult, Child and Infant) (Links to an external site.) Click REPLY below and type a brief summary of the content of the video. A. Is the Cardiac Chain of Survival the same or different for Adult as it is for a Child/Infant? B. What are there similarities and differences if any? Be sure your summary is at least 5 sentences long. After you make your post, read the posts of other students and reply to at least 2 other posting with any additional remarks you'd like to make. Student # 1. Yegisabet A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to part of the heart muscle is blocked. The fight against cardiac arrest is a chain each link is a struggle for survival. The primary link in the Adult cardiac chain of survival is: Call 9-1-1 and activation EMS system. 2. Early CPR- CPR helped circulates oxygen to the brain, disinfects drain injury, performs cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. 3. Early defibrillation- this link electrical shock using restore an effective heart rhythm (AED). 4. Early advanced life support- medical personnel assistance on site und on the way to transportation. 5. Integrated post-cardiac arrest care - last link resuscitation minimize further complications. Pediatric cardiac chain of survival is slightly different from adult. Often common pediatric trauma ( drowning, choking,electrocution) occurs as the result. 1.Prevention - as the first link. 2.Pediatric cardiac arrest not used electrocuted. Reply Student # 2 Arthur Hello class, A. The cardiac chain of survival for adults is slightly different from what it is for a child or infant. Quick action is essential when someone is experiencing cardiac arrest. It should be noted that in the US, cardiac arrests happen most frequently outside of hospitals. B. The adult cardiac chain of survival consists of the recognition of cardiac arrest and the activation of the emergency medical service system; calling 911, early CPR, early defibrillation, early advanced life support, and integrated post-cardiac arrest care. Children's cardiac arrest frequently results from an accident that could have been avoided, such as trauma, drowning, choking, or electrocution. Accordingly, the first step in the pediatric cardiac survival chain is prevention. The second link is beginning CPR right away, and the third link is turning on the EMS system. The fourth and fifth links in the cardiac survival chain are integrated post-cardiac arrest care and early advanced life support, just like in the adult cardiac survival chain. Many lives, including those of adults and children, can be saved if the first three links of the cardiac chain of survival are completed. Reply
