 Yes, awesome. Thank you everybody. Okay, we're ready to get started So I wanted to introduce our speaker for this session. Her name is Bella Nira Jimenez She is working with the American Heart Association and she's joining us today to talk about hands-only CPR Which is an really important skill some of us. I know have trained in practice before so this is going to be a little refresher and They may be able to come and visit us again in the future to do Of more comprehensive training. So I will go ahead and hand it off to Bella Nira Hi everyone, good afternoon, I'm Vanita Jimenez from the American Heart Association and As Jordan was saying today, I'll be teaching you about hands-only CPR and how to keep the beat To the medical response team arrives So before we get to talk about hands-only CPR, let's cover what CPR is So CPR is an acronym that stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation It's an action of trying to revive someone that's not breathing by performing chest compressions Which will then act as an external heart almost So this external heart is just like our internal heart. It's helping a pump blood to the individual's vital organs Such as a brain. Many people have become familiarized with the term CPR at some point in their life though often it's Confused with having to include mouth-to-mouth breaths to be effective hands-only CPR, however What many individuals don't know is that this is shown to be just as effective and conventional as regular CPR in the first few minutes of an out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest So hands-only CPR is a simple two-step method doesn't require any mouth-to-mouth breaths So step one is to call 911 and step two is to push hard and fast in the center of the chest Typically between a hundred and a hundred and twenty beats per minute. So if you know that song staying alive by the Bee Gees That's always a great reference I'll be demonstrating hands-only CPR at the end of this presentation and if you have any questions throughout this PowerPoint presentation go ahead and save them because I'll be asking for questions at the end If you want to practice on your own to prepare yourself to act in an emergency The American Heart Association website heart.org provides hands-only CPR instructional videos as well a Research showed that people who view a CPR instructional video are much more likely to attempt life-saving resuscitation So hands-only CPR can save the life of a teenager adult who suddenly collapses at home work or even in the park Hands-only CPR is not for use with infants and young children When it comes to infants and small children as well as victims of drowning and electrocution traditional CPR must be used a Lot of people ask why you can't use this on children and infants and We typically like to tell them that at their age everything should be working So in the event that they collapse are going to cardiac arrest it's their lack of oxygen is completely cut off and they do need that mouth-to-mouth breath and when it when In the like outside of the community in the hospital I Mean outside of the hospital when somebody goes into cardiac arrest. It's very important to start compressions right away As soon as these compressions are done you can really make a difference so I set mentioned cardiac arrest in the previous slide and a lot of people don't know What cardiac arrest is so cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction in the heart It causes a regular heartbeat and the heart to suddenly stop beating it disrupts the flow of blood to the brain lungs and other organs About 70% of cardiac arrest occur outside of the hospital Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death and According to the American Heart Association about 90% of people who suffer out of hospital cardiac arrest die However CPR especially if performed immediately can double or even triple a cardiac arrest is victim of chances of survival So and only about 46% of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest actually receive the help that they need so Take what you learn from this presentation and really don't be afraid to help because a lot of people don't get the help They need when they have a cardiac arrest out of the hospital Now that we know what a cardiac arrest is it's important to know that it's not the same as a heart attack a lot of people get these two Terms intertwined and mixed up, but think of cardiac arrest as an electrical problem in your body When the heart malfunctions and subspeeding unexpectedly and think of a heart attack as a circulation or almost plumbing block problem so when the blood flow is blocked the blood flow to the heart and The biggest difference between the two is that cardiac arrest is when a person becomes unresponsive is not breathing or Is only gasping for air in a heart attack? It may be immediate and include intense discomfort in the chest or other areas of the upper body such as the jaw and neck and women and As well as you know shortness of breath cold sweats nausea vomiting and the heart usually doesn't stop beating so the person is still responsive and Although not always the two may be linked in the event that a heart attack leads to a cardiac arrest So cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time You never know who you might need to save or you never know who can save you so one in ten people who suffer cardiac arrest out of the hospital survive which is very very low Most times it's because someone does not receive the help they need only 30% of American adults are prepared to act in this case and Hands-only CPR doesn't require a certification. So prepare yourselves ask questions and share the knowledge you learned today I know that hands-only CPR is something that needs to be implemented at every high school or in high school, but Every great school a student must take hands-only CPR before graduation So as with any emergency the first stepped in hands-only CPR is to call 911 as a Bystander don't be afraid if you see an unresponsive adult who is not breathing or not breathing normally Call 911 and begin to push hard and fast on the center of the chest Continue pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives if the victim speaks Smooths breeds normally while you're giving chest compressions then you can stop if not Try to keep going until Medical help arrives and if you feel if there's no one there to switch off with if you get tired Try not to stop for longer than five to ten seconds When you call 911 make sure to stay on the phone until the dispatcher provides further instruction You don't want to hang up on them before they get all the information they need Aside from explaining your emergency. It's very important to know your location they will ask and it's your job to be as specific as you as you can possibly be and Don't panic or feel rushed answering the dispatcher's questions won't delay the arrival time of the medical response team Sometimes people have very confusing homes. So if a cardiac arrest happens at the home and you forget to tell them You know, you're gonna enter take a right take a left go all the way down the hall. It's a third room and They don't know that they're gonna spend all that time looking for you when they could know exactly where to go when they arrive Many people ask what if I do CPR wrong? You can't without CPR the person will not survive. So you're the best chance of survival They have if any actions need to be taken another common question is Well helping lead to trouble The answer is no too often people are afraid to act because they're afraid of getting sued for trying to help someone else in The state of Texas you're protected by the Good Samaritan law Which states that a person is not liable for civil damages if you're rendering aid. I Won't lie. It's very common to break a rib or other bone wall attempting to perform CPR But remember you can always fix a broken bone and you can't really give someone their life back Can you make things worse? Of course not A person who's hard to stop must have CPR to survive and you're willing less to help by administering Can only help them any questions We do have a couple questions for the from the audience feel free to submit a couple more right now And then Bella near is going to do a demonstration But our first question is do you get certified for hands-on CPR like you do for classic CPR? No, so as I mentioned earlier hands-only CPR is not a certification It is taught to all students before they graduate high school at some point and they're in Their early childhood education so you can go home Look on the American Heart Association website at further videos for demonstration You can practice with your family teach your friends. This isn't something you need a certification for that's only for mouth-to-mouth breaths as well So this is just something we want to inform the public about and let them know that They can do this without having a certification and they shouldn't be afraid to attempt Very good. Thank you Our next question is asking can older children learn and practice hands-only CPR Yes, even young children can learn it's harder for them because it is chest compressions and it's not easy We have like a minute challenge that we do and it's it's like a workout, but anybody can learn it It's just limitations on who can receive it, which would be not infants not young children and not victims of electrocution or drowning Okay, very good answers. Thank you Any final questions feel free to submit in the answer box if we have time at the end But I think Belloneer will take it away with her demonstration Okay, can you see me? Okay, so right here I have my Annie mannequin and As we said earlier after you call 9-1-1 you've checked for breaths You've checked for any rising in the chest Annie is not responsive So the first step you're gonna do is you're gonna take your dominant hand and place it in the center of the chest So right along the nipple line I'm not sure if you can tell but there's a plate right here. So that sternum you have it's about two inches above it right here Of course somebody's not gonna have a push me here button when they go into cardiac arrest and they're not gonna click like our girl Annie But you want to get a two-inch depth? so You want to do that click sound on our mannequin of course? Oh To the beat of staying alive at about a hundred and a hundred and twenty beats per minute So again, you're gonna take this part of your hand place it right in the center of your chest Interlock the fingers Until help arrives And that's all it is two steps. So just harden fast from the center of the chest and be sure to call 9-1-1 Is there any questions? That was awesome. I especially love the music So any final questions for Belenira? We will be hopefully seeing her and maybe some of her other teammates in the future from American Heart Association to do a More full training on on CPR any last questions before we I'd actually like to add as well I know that this mannequin's on the table for the sake of the video But in any case that you do have to perform cardiac arrest chest compressions You want to make sure you're the victim is on a flat surface on the floor? Away from any Anything that can harm them so just make sure they're on a flat surface on the floor if it happens in a home And they're on the bed again You want to put them on the floor because you can't do compressions on a bed They won't it won't compress because of the cushion on the bed So make sure the victim is always on a flat surface on the floor away from any harmful Objects that may cause harm to them rather than help them Good to know. Thank you, and it looks like we Are out of questions to all right any final words you'd like to say Before we close the session That's it. Thank you guys for learning. I hope you share this with your families again. Anybody can learn this and it's very easy Excellent. Thanks so much for joining us and we will share and the American Heart Association's Contact information and website in the follow-up email with everybody as well Okay, thank you
