>> Hi
every one, thank
you for
joining us
today to
learn how to
save a life with hands
only CPR.
My
name is Sonja
and I am the
business director for the American
heart association here in the Midwest
region.
We're here today to show you how to save a life,
how to perform hands only CPR
during CPR week.
June first through the 7th is
our national CPR week
spotlighting
how more
Americans can
save lives if
more Americans
knew how to
save lives .
et me ask one
thing further
of you,
please hit the share
button on the
screen to share with
your friends
and family so they can
learn with us.
Also here in a minute we're going to put a
question on the screen and get your opinion.
First let's practice.
Try to text AHA polling, all one word,
to 222333.
It is safe and
we won't ask your name or any information.
It is just a fun
and easy way
to answer.
But if you don't want to text in, you
can also participate by typing in your response
in to the comments section below.
So let's try it out with our first question and
test your knowledge with a little trivia.
Remember, text AHA polling to
222333.
So our first
question is, we want to
know about how many cardiac arrests
happen outside of a
hospital each
year?
Outside of a
hospital could mean a
school setting, a
sports
setting, a
restaurant,
maybe your
place of
work, maybe
even your own
home.
Again, how many cardiac arrests
happen outside of the hospital
each year?
Type in
your
response.
So
is it A, 175
thousand, B;
250 thousand;
or C, 350
thousand; or
D, 425
thousand?
Again, type
in your
response in
the chat box
below or text
it to AHA
polling to
222333.
It looks
like you are
putting in some answers.
Looking good.
I will give
you a couple
more seconds.
All right.
It looks like
the majority
of you got
it, you're
right, 350
thousand sudden
cardiac arrests
happen
outside of a
hospital each year.
We will talk exactly about
what a cardiac arrest is in a minute, but
I have one more question for you
before we
move on.
What
percentage of
cardiac arrests
happen at the
home?
And I will give you
guys a little hint, it
might be a surprising
answer to what you think it is.
So again, what percentage of a cardiac
arrest happens at
home?
Is it
A, 25
percent, B 40
percent; C55
percent, or
D, 70
percent?
You all
answered that
quick.
You
guys were --
you thought it
was 55
percent, I told you it
was going to be surprising, it
is actually
70 percent.
.
That is hard to imagine
that that many cardiac arrests
happen in
your home.
So let's
talk about
how we
consider what
hands on CPR
and think
about how we
prepare for
it.
Some of us go
our whole
lives without
ever encountering
an emergency
situation.
Most of us don't have a
plan, we don't think about it, we don't
prepare.
But that's okay, that's why we're here today.
I will show you everything you need to
know and how to help a teen or an adult who is
in need of CPR.
Cardiac arrests is when a person's heart
suddenly stops beating, and it is the leading
cause of death in adults in the United States.
As we touched on earlier in the poll, 350
thousand Americans suffer out of hospital
cardiac arrests every year, and sadly about
90 percent die.
Since we just learned that 70 percent of
the arrests happen at home, the reality is you
will most likely have to use hands
only CPR on some one you
know on some one you love,
a friend or family member.
Hands on CPR
can double or
triple a
cardiac victim's
chance of
survival.
So
if some one
is in cardiac arrest,
trying to help is always your
best option.
In the next few minutes, I will walk you through
the steps of CPR twice to help make
sure you're comfortable with these steps on how
to save a life.
So think about it, let's say you walk in to a
room where an adult is lying on the ground.
The first thing you're going to do is tap the
person and shout something, like hey, are
you okay, are you okay?
The victim might be gasping for air, they
might be a little blue in the face, their eyes
might be open, but if they are not responding
or are unconscious, then you need to get help
right away.
So if you're alone, you're going to call 911
yourself, hopefully you will have your phone on
you, call 911, put it on speaker.
But if there some one around, make sure you
firmly say hey, you call 911 and bring help and
bring the A-D-D, say it like you mean it so they
know who you're talking to.
When you call 911 is emergency dispatcher
will ask some important questions so they can
help send help fast, quickly.
And to the right place.
They'll likely ask you such things
as is the patient conscious.
If your answer is no,
they will ask are they breathing
normally.
But regardless of what they ask, do not hang
up unless the emergency dispatcher tells you to.
Ideally you can put the phone on speaker like
I mentioned before, and next to you so that you
can begin hands only CPR immediately but still
communicate with the dispatcher.
So once you are some one else has
called 911, you're going to need to start
hands only CPR right
away.
I will
demonstrate
for you now on the mannequin.
So what
you're going
to do is
place your
hands in the
center of the chest.
The first thing you need to
remember is that if the victim isn't already on
the floor, you want to make sure you move them
to a hard surface to you can perform
the best CPR compressions as
possible.
You will put your hands in the middle of the
chest, one on top of the other on the hard
part, the bone on the chest, and lock your
elbows so when you're giving your chest
compression you're using your upper body strength
to make sure you're pushing down and fast.
You want to push about two inches deep, and you
want to push to a beat of about 100 to 120
beats per minute, so there's songs like
staying alive by the bee gees or there's a song
by Beyonce called crazy in love.
Some of those songs, if you think about it in
your head, they'll help you to remember the beat
and help you to stay on the beat.
So I will practice for you now.
And again, you want to push hard and fast in
the center of the chest so that the beat of
staying alive.
A, a, a, hah, hah,
hah, staying
alive,
staying
alive.
Hah,
hah, hah,
staying
alive,
staying
alive.
If you're doing
it and you're
getting tired, that
means you're doing it
right, you pushing hard
enough and
you're
pushing fast.
Another
thing, for me
I'm practicing on
the mannequin
here, but we do have
something
called our
CPR any time
kit, which is
a great device that you
can use at home with your friends
and family to learn how to
do CPR.
It comes with a mannequin which has a
built in clicker, so it will help you know how
hard you're pushing and how fast you're pushing.
They're available online in you
are our store
at shop CPR
at heart.org.
We will add
the link in the comments so you can
look after we're done here.
So you would keep doing CPR until
emergency personnel arrive.
But listen, any CPR is better
than no CPR.
Don't hesitate.
If you give
hands only
CPR until emergency
help arrives,
then you can
dramatically
increase the
chance of
survival for
that victim.
We'll
practice
again in a
few minutes
but hear from
our audience
again with a
couple of trivia
questions.
As a
reminder, all
you have to
do is text
AHA polling
to 222333 to
answer your question.
If you have already registered,
you don't
have to do it
again.
Or if you're joining from your phone
and you want to make it easier, just drop your
answers in to the comments.
Let's start with the first question.
Certain populations are less likely to receive
bystander CPR.
Citizens from primarily
poor,
Hispanic or
African
American
neighborhoods are
more likely
to KR
bystander
arrest and are
less likely to
receive
bystander
CPR.
So the question is,
are they more likely to have
events outside of a hospital and not
receive
bystander CPR?
You have two
choices,
either A
true; or B
false.
It looks like
you guys got
it.
Correct.
True.
Our next
question,
African Americans
have the
highest incidents
of sudden
cardiac arrest
outside of a
hospital and
are significantly
less likely
to survive
that cardiac
arrest.
Studies have
shown that out
of hospital
cardiac arrest
in black neighborhoods
have alarmingly
low survival rates
and response
from others
not using an
A-D.
Others are limited
to English,
and this can
affect how emergency
help is dispatched
when
bystanders
call 911.
This causes delays
in both
cardiac delay recognition
and
implementation
of telephone
CPR.
So the question
is, the sudden
cardiac arrest
incidence s,
are they higher
or lower in
those with a
socioeconomic status.
True or false.
You got it,
true.
Traditionally,
lower
economic status
is associated with
a higher out of
hospital cardiac arrest.
Remember, cardiac
arrest is
when a
person's
heart
suddenly
stops
beating.
Again, 350
thousand
people suffer
cardiac
arrests
outside of
hospital, and
70 percent
happen in a
home.
Cardiac CPR hands
on can .
We will go
through it one more time
and I will walk you through it.
The first thing you want to do is
if you see a victim lying on the floor,
a teen or adult, after you make
sure the
SOOEN is safe you want to
walk up and say are you
okay, are you
okay?
If they're not
responding, blue in the
face or
girling or
unconscious,
call 911.
Find some one, point
to the person
you want, and
say hey, call
911 Rnad
bring an A-D.
And immediately
start CPR.
You will
kneel beside the
person, for
demonstrations
today I am
standing.
You want to
lock your elbows
and keep your
arms straight and
press to the music staying
alive, which
is 120 to 160 beats
per second.
You want to make sure you're not pushing too
fast so that it allows the chest to rise
and the heart fill up with blood.
Think of it as a sponge.
If you squeeze the sponge too fast, it is
not going to be able to get all of the water
out.
Okay.
So that's
how easy it
is.
FT it is
really
simple.
So
in just a few
minutes, you
learned how
to save a
life with two
simple steps
of hands only
CPR: Call
911 and push
hard and fast in the center of
the chest.
As we wrap up, I have one more question for
you.
Do you believe that you can save a life with
hands only CPR now?
Hopefully the answer is yes.
I know if you're like me you may want some
additional information to look back on, so
please if you would like to learn where, if there
are classes available near you or you're
