Kathi Metro and Tracy Tinsley Josh Ellington Josh Ellington from Queen of the Valley Medical Center (QVMC), is the American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center Coordinator. Josh spoke on the importance of performing CPR. Every 90 seconds there is a sudden cardiac arrest incident. Paramedics manage cardiac arrest with limited crew. Josh showed a full crew of a hospital type code blue. He emphasize the importance of team-drills and drilling like the NASCAR pit crew approach; one person for one task. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the sudden cessation (and often unexpected) of all blood flow due to complete heart failure. The Treatment for SCA - high quality CPR 3
- Early defibrillation (shut everything down for a few second and heart restarts). It takes 6-8 minutes for call out. The first 90 seconds to 3 minutes is very critical to survival. You need to step up and act. CPR is typically performed on family members. Mouth to mouth (mtm) is no longer part of guidelines because you can move 21% oxygen air by compressions vs. 15-16% oxygen air by mtm. Mouth to mouth (mtm) causes more harm and using only compressions now more people perform CPR. QVMC offers free CPR classes. Shock as soon as possible. Demo auto defibrillator. Josh with AED Josh with Paddles Josh applies paddles to demo dummy Josh does chest compressions AED is a medical fire extinguisher. 4
Two steps to save a life: call 911; push hard and fast in the center of the chest. The Scope of Problem 360000 SCA events per year in the US 2-3 SCA events per day in Napa Survival rate 12-20% hospital 4-7% public area Las Vegas/Lake Tahoe Casinos: 50-73% First shock delivered with 3 min. Seattle is excellent place for CPR/AED with a 40% response whereas a 10% in the Bay Area. The QVMC goal is the casino goal of 50-73% survival What can we do? Know how to call for help since Vallejo CHP receives 4000 calls/day you can be on hold of minutes, whereas Napa Sheriff 707-253-0911 emergency is only two rings! All people should use the sheriff s number and have it in your cell phone. Learns Hand Only CPR Tech and Use the AED. QVMC will start placing AEDs in schools, then place where more than 50 people congregate. Restrooms are often places for a heart attack. Spread the word!! From the Q&A: AED at Costco costs $1500 with a 5 year battery that does 200 shocks. Aspirin is advised during heart attacks for thinning the blood. 5
