AHA CAB BLS for Healthcare Providers (2010 Interim Video)

[TraumaGirl098]

Not all healthcare providers do wear protective equipment at all times. Do you carry a box of gloves, gown, goggles, and face mask in your vehicle or while walking through Wal-Mart? Where do most people collapse? Not usually in a nice clean hospital bed with a crash cart poised at the ready. Besides, if you are taking a HCP BLS class, you are likely a healthcare provider or rescuer and know that, in the correct setting, you would be smart enough to wear PPE.

how often would you find a coded patient on a table? Usually on the ground

[wcresponder]

that is not a very good reason to break procedure. gloves would not interfer,

As you may know, in order to show skills clearly, the rescuers in this video do not always use personal protective equipment (such as gloves).

[wcresponder]

health care workers that don't use gloves... how novel.

Change in CPR Sequence: C-A-B rather than A-B-C* Although no published human demonstrates that starting CPR with 30 compressions rather than 2 ventilations leads to improved outcome and studies of out-of-hospital adult cardiac arrest showed that survival was higher when bystanders made some attempt rather than no attempt to provide CPR.

@DBT343Bombero There's a plethora of evidence actually... try reading the 2010 guidelines, it cites about 100 sources.

[DBT343Bombero]

@123jp1000 this are the 2010 ECC guidelines “Look, listen, and feel for breathing” has been removed from the algorithm, with the new “chest compressions first” sequence, the CPR sequence begins with compressions (C-A-B sequence). Therefore, breathing is briefly checked as part of a check for cardiac arrest; after the first set of chest compressions, the airway is opened, and the rescuer delivers 2 breaths.

@DBT343Bombero You should ask yourself two questions: 1) are they responsive 2) are they breathing normally. if not, do CPR. pretty simple. Nothing else required.
