Authors and Editors Hands-Only CPR - No More Mouth-to-Mouth? Medical Author: Medical Editor: William C. Shiel, Jr., MD, FACP, FACR In April, 2008, the American Heart Association (AHA) took steps to simplify the process of helping victims of cardiac arrest by introducing "hands-only" CPR. Since only about 1/3 of people who suffer a cardiac arrest at home or at a public place actually receive help, bystanders could be afraid to initiate CPR for fear that they'll do something wrong or won't know what to do. Others may be reluctant to perform mouth-to-mouth breathing for fear of contracting an infection. It is estimated that each year, around 310,000 Americans die of cardiac arrest that occurs at home or in a public place. The AHA proposed the new guidelines in order to allow bystanders who have not been trained in conventional CPR or who may fear making a mistake a way to offer help.

It is indicated in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or only gasps. It may be attempted both in and outside of a hospital. CPR involves chest compressions at a rate of at least 100 per minute in an effort to create artificial circulation by manually pumping blood through the heart. In addition the rescuer may provide breaths by either exhaling into their mouth or utilizing a device that pushes air into the lungs. The process of externally providing ventilation is termed artificial respiration . Current recommendations place emphasis on high quality chest compressions over artificial respirations and a method involving only chest compressions is recommended for untrained rescuers. CPR alone is unlikely to restart the heart; its main purpose is to restore partial flow of oxygenated blood to the

This Week Inventor Archive Inventor Search Inventor of the Week Archive Browse for a different Invention or Inventor Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Before the 1950s, when a person suffered cardiac arrest, this generally meant death was imminent. But surgeon and medical innovator Peter Safar changed that with his development and popularization of the procedure known as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. Safar was born in Vienna, Austria on April 12, 1924 to a surgeon father and pediatrician mother. He pursued medicine in college, graduating with his M.D. from the University of Vienna in 1948. He then studied oncology and surgery there for a brief period before traveling to the Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut in 1950 to continue his studies. He finished his schooling at the University of Pennsylvania in 1952, where he studied anaesthesiology. Tragedy struck in 1966 when Safar’s 11-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, died after suffering an asthma attack. Doctors had been able to revive her heart and lungs, but not her brain, after she lapsed into a coma. This realization lead Safar to focus on a method for cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation, or CPCR. Safar worked on "suspended animation for delayed resuscitation," employing body cooling techniques and hypothermia to gain critical time for physicians engaged in life-saving medical and surgical interventions.

About Us Contact Us Careers Site Map ... Safety Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Health Library Topics Aging Allergies Behavioral Health Bones, Joints and Muscles ... Women's Health What is CPR? CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Cardio refers to the heart. Pulmonary refers to the lungs. CPR is a way to give oxygen and keep the heart pumping when it has stopped beating. It is an emergency procedure that can save the life of someone whose heart has stopped beating and who is not breathing. When is it used? Almost 75% of cardiac arrests occur in the home. When someone has a cardiac arrest, the heart stops beating. When this happens, someone should call 911 and the person should be given CPR until he or she starts moving or emergency medical help arrives. If CPR is not done, the person can have brain damage or die in 5 to 10 minutes. What happens during CPR? CPR is done by blowing air into a person's lungs with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and by pushing on their chest. The mouth-to-mouth resuscitation gives the person some oxygen and pushing on the chest pumps the heart to keep blood flowing. Here are the steps: See if the person can respond to you . For example, speak to or tap the person. If there is no response, start CPR.

MoonDragon's Health Care Information CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) CPR Complications IMPORTANT!: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure used to maintain blood circulation throughout the body until the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) can respond to the emergency. You must never perform CPR unless you have completed an approved course, taught by an approved instructor. The American Heart Association and the American Red Cross both offer such courses in communities across the country. The information on this page is not intended to take the place of an approved course. Everybody should take a course in CPR and become proficient in first responder care. This is especially important if you have or take care of children, the elderly, or someone with cardiac or breathing problems. Contact your local AHA, ARC, or local hospital about classes in CPR and become certified today!" CPR TRAINING As a first responder and/or a health care provider, you should successfully complete a CPR course through a recognized agency such as the American Heart Association (AHA), the National Safety Council (NSC), or the American Red Cross (ARC). These courses may be available through your local regional offices or your local hospitals and the fees usually range from about $25 to $65, depending on the facility and program. You should update your skills by successfully completing a recognized re-certification course. I highly recommend taking the course designed for health care providers since this course includes not only adult CPR, but also infant CPR.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) What is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? CPR is the combination of life saving measures performed to restart the lung (pulmonary) and heart (cardiovascular) functions in a patient who has stopped breathing and/or whose heart has stopped beating (cardiac arrest). The measures were developed to simultaneously support a patient's airway, breathing and circulation. They include: pushing down on the chest to pump blood out of the heart into the body (chest compressions), attempting to restore the heart rhythm to normal (via electric shock [defibrillation] or pacemaker), and artificial respiration using a facemask or breathing (endotracheal) tube. Medications are also given intravenously during CPR. Is CPR performed on every patient in the hospital or ICU when their heart or lungs stop working? In general, yes, unless a patient or family member informs the doctor that they do not want CPR. This discussion should take place between the patient or family member and the doctor prior to an unexpected event. A written order in the medical record from the doctor is required to withhold CPR. Too often the patient or responsible party and doctor do not clearly communicate about the issue of CPR. It is extremely important for the doctors and nurses to know the patient's wishes regarding CPR in the event or a heart or lung arrest. We encourage the patient and/or family to initiate the discussion regarding CPR with the doctor.
