Product Information

The term "emergency readiness" describes the condition of being ready to deal with emergencies and unforeseen circumstances. It entails putting in place the necessary strategies, tools, first aid poster, and capabilities to manage risks, deal with emergencies, and give those in need prompt assistance. If defibrillation is unsuccessful, escalation of defibrillation energy is reasonable (IIa-B). 2,6 Readers with electrical defibrillators should view the RECOVER drug dosage chart specific to their defibrillator type for recommendations on energy selection (see veccs.org). 2 Additional ALS Therapies Low-dose epinephrine ( 0.01 mg/kg) is recommended for routine use every other BLS cycle ( I-B) or every 3 to 5 minutes. 2,6 Fletcher DJ, Boller M, Brainard BM, et al.

If the child/infant with foreign body airway obstruction is, or becomes, unconscious, move to treatment with the paediatric BLS algorithm.

Bystander CPR should be started in all cases when feasible. The EMS dispatcher has a crucial role in assisting untrained bystanders to recognise cardiac arrest and provide CPR. When bystander CPR is already in progress at the time of the call, dispatchers may only provide instructions when asked for, or when issues with knowledge or skills are identified. With your other hand, grasp the far leg just above the knee and pull it up, keeping the foot on the ground. Depth: depress the lower half of the sternum by at least one third of the anterior–posterior dimension of the chest (which is approximately 4 cm for an infant and 5 cm for a child).Fever reducers and painkillers: Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are examples of over-the-counter drugs that can help with pain relief and fever reduction. This should start with the first person on scene, who is often a bystander (i.e. a member of the public). b) Unless the Customer gives written notice of termination of this Agreement which is received at Alsco’s office no less than 90 days prior to the expiry date, this agreement will be automatically renewed for a period equal to the original term set out in 3(a) above.

If a healthcare provider does feel for a pulse in an unresponsive child, they must be certain that one is present for them NOT to start CPR. In this situation, there are often other signs of life present.

Recognizing potential risks and hazards at work or in the community, assessing their likelihood and impact, and taking proactive steps to reduce risks through infrastructure upgrades and safety measures. If there is only one rescuer, with a mobile phone, they should call help first (and activate the speaker function) immediately after the initial rescue breaths. Proceed to the next step while waiting for an answer. Deliver up to 5 chest thrusts. These are similar to chest compressions, but sharper in nature and delivered at a slower rate. Continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until the child begins to recover or emergency help arrives. Continue with paediatric BLS using a C:V ratio of 15:2 (or the ratio you are familiar with) until help arrives or child improves.

Treatment of documented hypokalemia may be considered but clear benefit has not been shown ( IIb-C). 2,6If no mobile phone is available and more than one rescuer is available, one (or more) person starts resuscitation while another goes for assistance. Identify the landmark for chest compression (lower sternum approximately a finger’s breadth above the xiphisternum). Guidelines 2021 are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 2020 Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations for Basic Life Support and Automated External Defibrillation and the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation (2021) Adult Basic Life Support. Refer to the ERC guidelines publications for supporting reference material. Maintain head position and chin lift, take your mouth away, and watch for their chest to fall as air comes out.
