Product Information

Attach the electrode pads to the person's (who has sustained cardiac arrest) bare chest according to the position shown on the AED or on the pads. Rapid identification of a patient requiring CPR allows more rapid institution of BLS and ALS, which increases the chance of ROSC. Ventilation with 100% oxygen is reasonable ( IIa-B); however, use of room air may also be considered ( IIb-B). 2,4 Regardless of compression technique, simultaneous ventilation should be provided via a cuffed endotracheal tube (with cuff inflated) at a rate of 10 breaths per minute, with a tidal volume of 10 mL/kg and an inspiratory time of 1 second ( I-A). 2,4

For adults and children with a decreased level of responsiveness due to medical illness or non-physical trauma, who do not meet the criteria for the initiation of rescue breathing or chest compressions (CPR), RCUK recommends they be placed into a lateral, side-lying recovery position. Overall, there is little evidence to suggest an optimal recovery position, but RCUK recommends the following sequence of actions: Guidelines 2021 are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 2020 Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations and the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation (2021). Refer to the ERC guidelines publications for supporting reference material. Figures 2 through 4 courtesy David Liss, AS, BA, RVT, VTS (Emergency Critical Care & Small Animal Internal Medicine), CVPM Two finger technique: Compress the lower sternum with the tips of two of your fingers (index and middle fingers) by at least one-third of the depth of the infant’s chest, approximately 4cm.The steps of the algorithm for paediatric dispatcher-assisted CPR are very similar to the paediatric BLS algorithm. To decrease the number of changes in rescuer position, a 30:2 C:V ratio might be preferable for a lone rescuer. If bystanders cannot provide rescue breaths, they should proceed with chest compressions only. A child or infant is far more likely to be harmed if the bystander does nothing. Ambulance services should have available up to date information on defibrillator locations, either through regional databases or national databases such as the Circuit. There are a number of apps available for the public that list defibrillator locations.

Place the heel of your hand on the centre of the person's chest, then place the palm of your other hand on top and press down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) at a steady rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute. Release all pressure on the chest between compressions to allow for complete chest recoil and avoid leaning on the chest at the end of a compression.

Place 2 fingers in the middle of the infant's chest and push down by 4cm (about 1.5 inches), which is approximately one-third of the chest diameter. The quality (depth) of chest compressions is very important. Use the heel of 1 hand if you can't achieve a depth of 4cm using the tips of 2 fingers. During CPR, vagolytic therapy is usually provided by atropine. 6 Limited data is available on atropine use in CPR, with no high-quality data available for dogs or cats. 6Should the Customer wish to cancel this Agreement with effect from the expiration of the term of this agreement for any reason other than under the provisions of clause 11(b) – Default, this may be done by giving not less than 90 days written notice prior to the expiry date of this agreement to Alsco’s office.
