Signs of Cardiac Arrest • Sudden, unexpected collapse • Unconsciousness, NO sign of life • Abnormal breathing (gasping) common • Brief seizure - lack of oxygen to brain

Expanding and Improving T-CPR: The Three-Phase Model
PHASE 1: Identifying OHCA Over the Phone
Taking the Lead: Controlling the Call • Active Listening: The First Seconds - Caller often volunteers 2/3 of critical information • Callers are often frantic • - Be ASSERTIVE 4 - Be CALM5 • Tell them help is on the way • Get and use caller’s name
AHA’s Two Question Model • Is the patient conscious? • If necessary, ask if “responsive” or “awake” • If necessary, ask to speak to patient • Is the patient breathing NORMALLY? • Allows you to catch Agonal Breathing • If “no” to both, start CPR instructions1,2 Be assertive: Don’t ask – TELL • “You need to do CPR, I will help you”
What to Avoid • Extra questions which delay the identification of cardiac arrest and initiation of CPR
What is agonal breathing? • Agonal breathing is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by shallow, slow (3-4 per minute), irregular respirations followed by irregular pauses. They may also be characterized asgasping, labored breathing, accompanied by strange vocalizations. • The cause for agonal breathing is a lack of oxygen to the brain stem.
Survival • The presence of agonal breathing indicates a more favorable prognosis than in cases of cardiac arrest without agonal breathing: • 27% of patients with agonal breathing were discharged alive compared with 9% without them (p<.001) • Clark Ann Emerg Med 1992 • 28% vs 8% (adjusted OR 3.4 95% CI 2.2, 5.2) • Bobrow Circ 2008
How do bystanders describe agonal breathing? • Audible: sounds like snoring • Description: ”he’s making noises” ... ”humming” ... like a humming sound” • Description: ”he’s gasping for air” • Description: ”he’s soring like he’s in a deep sleep” • Descriptor: ”she’s moaning” • Descriptor: ”she’s groaning
The Right Instructions • AHA recommends Compression-Only CPR … • For adults with non-respiratory cause of arrest • Easier to perform • Compression-Only CPR associated with better long-term survival than CPR with rescue breathing2 • AHA recommends CPR with Rescue Breathing … • For children 8 years old and younger • For adults with respiratory cause of arrest • Drowning • Choking 1.

Focus: Creating & Maintaining CPR Quality “Continuous Coaching”
Recommendation on AEDs Ask if an AED is available only if the event is in a public place with more than one rescuer present. If using an AED, instruct the rescuers to bare the patient’s chest.
Continuous Coaching: Tactics & Tips • Count out rate at 100 beats/minute • The beat to the disco classic “Stayin’ Alive” • Let caller take over counting • Allows you to monitor and speed rate if needed • Remind rescuer to press “hard and fast” • Shhhhh! Don’t talk too much! • Let rescuers focus on what they’re doing! • Tell them to switch if tired & multiple rescuers • Stay with caller until EMS takes over
Review • OHCA frequency and survival rate • T-CPR is associated with improved survival • The Three Phases of T-CPR • 2 question identification • Overcoming barriers • Continuous coaching
