Lesson Three Infant and Child CPR

Transcription

1 Unit Three Lesson Three Lesson Overview In this lesson, participants will learn how to perform CPR. When an infant or child is unconscious, resulting in a potentially life threatening emergency, the caregiver must act immediately. CPR, if preformed accurately, can save a life. NOTE: The lesson is to be taught in conjunction with Unit 3, Lesson 2. Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, participants will be able to: Explain and demonstrate the proper procedure(s) a caregiver should administer in a life-threatening emergency situation Demonstrate how to access medical care when needed in a life-threatening emergency situation Demonstrate how to call 911 or their local emergency number Perform CPR for an unresponsive infant or child Lesson at a Glance NOTE: This lesson is not a substitute for a CPR certification course taught by a trained CPR instructor for infant care; rather, this lesson will give the learner the skills and information they might need in case of a life-threatening emergency. Realityworks highly recommends that you, the instructor, consider being trained as a certified CPR instructor, or that you direct participants to a certified CPR course through the Red Cross or the American Heart Association. Activity Materials Preparation FOCUS Envelopes (one per group of two or three participants) Infant/Child CPR Steps (one per group of two or three participants) LEARN Unit 3 Lesson 3 PowerPoint: Slides 2-9 RealCare Babies with accessories Alcohol swabs (optional) 1. Purchase or obtain envelopes. 2. Print/photocopy Infant/Child CPR Steps, cut apart, and place one set within each envelope. 1. Prepare to display lesson PowerPoint or overhead transparencies. 2. Set up Babies with accessories on a table at the front of the classroom. 3. Purchase or obtain alcohol swabs. Approximate Class Time 10 minutes 30 minutes REVIEW Check Your Skills worksheet (one per participant) 1. Print/photocopy participant worksheet. 5 minutes

2 Basic Infant Care FOCUS: What Do I Do Next? 10 minutes Purpose: This activity will help participants identify the proper sequence of steps needed to perform infant/child CPR. Materials: Envelopes Infant/Child CPR Steps Facilitation Steps: 1. Divide participants into groups of two or three. 2. Give each group of participants an envelope with one set of Infant/Child CPR Steps inside. 3. Instruct participants to open the envelope, take out the pieces of paper, and place them face up on their table/desk. Explain that they are to arrange the pieces of paper in sequential order, starting with the first step of infant/child CPR at the top of their table/desk, the second step directly below the first, and so on. 4. After five minutes, lead a class discussion by asking for the first step of infant/child CPR, the second step, and so on. Instruct groups to correct the order of their steps, if necessary. 5. Instruct groups to turn their pieces of paper over, mix them up, and repeat arranging them in sequential order. This time, challenge groups to put the steps in order as quickly as they can. The first group to complete this task wins. 6. Briefly review the proper sequence of steps needed to perform infant/child CPR, ensuring all groups have placed their pieces of paper in the correct order once again. 7. Briefly explain Body Substance Isolation (BSI) such that it is best to avoid contact with body substances or fluids whenever possible. BSI procedures assume that all body fluids are a possible risk; use gloves and/or breathing barriers, if available, and always wash your hands after care

3 Infant/Child CPR Steps Unit Three Lesson Three Make sure the scene is safe for you and the infant/child. Tap foot (infant) or shoulders (toddler) and shout, Are you okay? If no response, shout for help. If someone comes, have them call 911 or your local emergency number. If no one comes, start CPR. Gently place the infant/child on a firm, flat surface. Open the airway by tilting the head and lifting the chin. Look, listen, and feel for breathing (5 to 10 seconds). If not breathing, give two breaths (one second each). Watch for chest to rise with each breath. Quickly remove clothes from the front of the chest so that you can perform chest compressions. Give 30 chest compressions (100 per minute) then give two breaths. After each compression, release pressure on the chest letting it come back to is normal position. After five sets of 30 chest compressions and two breaths, call 911 or your local emergency number if you have not already done so. Answer all of the dispatcher s questions then return to the infant/child and start the steps of CPR again. Keep giving sets of 30 chest compressions and two breaths until the infant/child starts to move or trained medical help takes over

5 Unit Three Lesson Three LEARN: Infant/Child CPR 30 minutes Purpose: This activity helps participants learn about the life saving skills needed to perform infant/child CPR. Materials: Unit 3 Lesson 3 PowerPoint: Slides 2-9 RealCare Babies with accessories NOTE: If you have CPR mannequins, you are encouraged to use them for this activity. If you do not have CPR mannequins, use Baby; however, it i imperative that rescue skills are simulated. Alcohol swabs (optional) Facilitation Steps: 1. Briefly review Unit 3, Lesson 1 with participants: check, call, care and how to call 911 or your local emergency number. 2. Display Slides 2-4 and demonstrate how to perform infant (age 0-1 year) CPR. 3. Give each participant or group of participants Baby and have them practice the techniques you modeled. Circle the room and offer assistance and answer questions as necessary. If you choose to have participants put their mouths on Baby for rescue breaths, use alcohol swabs to clean Baby between participants. Remind participants to perform chest compressions with care. NOTE: If participants are sharing Baby, consider assigning a number (i.e., 1, 2, 3) to each participant within the group such that 1 practices first, while 2 and 3 observe and peer evaluate, and vice versa. 4. Display Slides 5-7 and demonstrate how to perform child (age 1-8 years) CPR. 5. Have participants practice the techniques you mod eled. Circle the room and offer assistance and answ questions as necessary. If you choose to have partici pants put their mouths on Baby for rescue breaths, use alcohol swabs to clean Baby between participan Remind participants to perform chest compression with care. 6. Be sure to reinforce the differences between infant child CPR: Hand position: Two fingers on infant s sternum One heel of hand on child s sternum Mouth position: Mouth over infant s nose and mouth Mouth over child s mouth 7. Display Slides 8-9 and briefly discuss

6 Basic Infant Care REVIEW: Check Your Skills 5 minutes Purpose: This activity assesses the rescue skills demonstrated and practiced within this lesson. Materials: Check Your Skills worksheet Facilitation Steps: 1. Explain that the skills demonstrated and practiced within this lesson will be assessed. 2. Divide participants into pairs. 3. Give each participant a copy of the Check Your Skills worksheet and have them complete it. Circle the room and offer assistance and answer questions as necessary

7 Check Your Skills Unit Three Lesson Three Name: Date: Directions: Take turns with your partner demonstrating and assessing the rescue skills you have learned. For example, one will demonstrate the steps to perform infant CPR while the other checks off each step as it is performed. If any steps are missed or performed incorrectly, stop, explain the correct procedure, and practice the sequence of steps again. Peer evaluators: be sure to add up the total points earned for each skill, make any comments and/or notes as needed, and sign at the conclusion of the demonstration.

Watch for the infant s chest to rise with each breath. 8. Quickly remove clothes from the front of the chest. 9. With two fingers just below the nipple line, give 30 chest compressions (100 per minute) then two breaths. Release pressure after each compression. 10. After five sets of 30 compressions and two breaths, call 911 or your local emergency number if you have not already done so. 11. Answer all dispatcher questions, then return to the infant and start the steps of CPR again. 12. Keep giving sets of 30 compressions and two breaths until the infant moves or trained help takes over. NOTE: To protect both you and the victim, avoid contact with body substances or fluids, known as Body Substance Isolation (BSI), whenever possible. BSI procedures assume that all body fluids are a possible risk; use gloves and/or breathing barriers, if available, and always wash your hands after care.
