CARDIO PULMONARY RESUSCITATION

Since childhood until Joining Biomedical Industry. I used to be Confused looking at the photo below.

I literally used to think, what they people were trying to doing ? But thanks to the Biomedical Industry that gave me privilege to understand these things not on Superficial Level but on Very deep level.

Yeah , and after understanding these things deeply , I decided to share it with you in the most easy language Possible.

So, Let's talk about the picture , the act that guy is performing is known as CPR ( Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) . If we simplify these clinical words in general language , it will be like Cardio means HEART , Pulmonary means Lungs and Resuscitation means Reviving Something.

Let's start with What...

What is CPR ?

CPR is a critical step in the chain of survival of patient ( who is the Victim of Cardiac arrest ). Cardiopulmonary Pulmonary Resuscitation is an emergency act and to be performed , when a patient's heart stop beating suddenly. In that case an early or an immediate CPR increases the rate of Survival

Oh Oh ?? little bit clinical Na , But not to worry , I will try to explain you in the most simplest language Possible. Which is the Ultimate motto of VISHAL PANCHAL

In layman's language CPR is a procedure to revive someone. In this Procedure one has to give heart message by pressing the chest and has to give artificial Mouth to Mouth breath to the victim.

But there is a Proper Procedure to do that which is taught in Certified BLS and ACLS training Centre.

So, what happens to the body that we have to give CPR to Someone ?

The answer is simple , Sudden Cardiac Arrest ( SCA ) occurs in the body ,this is the reason we have to do CPR.

Now What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest ?

Before Understanding Sudden Cardiac Arrest , you have to Understand this Simple thing ??

As You Know that Oxygen is the fuel for Human body.And Cardiopulmonary ( Heart & 

lungs ) System is responsible to transport that fuel throuh out each and every 

organ from head to toe.

If one of the things ( Heart or Lung ) from this system stops working suddenly. It

will affect the Process of transpoting Oxygen and which result in the gradually 

death of tissues and Ultimately death of Body.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a condition in which heart stops beating suddenly due to some Malfunction in Heart's Electrical system. If this happens , blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.

And you know the consequences when blood does not flow or stops to flow , so in order to maintain the blood flow , We do CPR.

Let's Understand in this way ,

I always consider HEARTa WATER COOLER PUMP.

Because both needs Electrical Signal to PUMP.

It's time to IMAGINE something  ??

Now , Imagine It is Evening of Summer and it's too hot outside , that is why ,You and your Brother Chilling at home and Your father arrive back home from his work and he is very tired ?? & frustrated , as soon as he reaches home he sits down in front of AIR COOLER but your father finds NO WATER inside that.

After seeing this your father becomes more impatient?? and angry and Starts Shouting on both of you and Say , I need cool Air anyhow otherwise you know me.

Now, It's yours and your brother's responsibility to make that air cool. So, You both fill that cooler with water and switch On the Pump and Cooler and your father fall asleep , again your brother and you start chilling.

But after sometime you notice that Unfortunately that Pump Stops Pumping the water, because of some malfunctioning in electrical system.

You both are worried that your father may not wake up due to Hot Air.

You both rush to fix that problem.

What you would Probably do , till the time your elder brother rectify and fix the problem, is to maintain the flow of water by make shifting. ( Something like this shown in the below picture.)

In very exact way in order to maintain the blood flow in the body , mainly to the Brain , We start to PUMP the Heart artificially by Pressing the Chest.

!!!! HAI NA AMAZING ?????? !!!!

?How to Perform CPR ?

Hey, before proceeding further , I want to make you clear one thing that I am not a Professional ACLS & BLS trainer , but yeah I have got training on How to do CPR way back in 2016.

So, I will tell you on the basis of what I have learnt and What American Heart Association & European Resuscitation Council recommend.

There are two Versions of CPR :

• Conventional CPR performed by trained rescuer and Healthcare provider.
• Hands Only CPR Performed by Untrained professional and General Public

In both the versions , rescuer has to Push hard and fast in the center of the chest . But mouth to mouth or we can say rescue breath can only be given by trained rescuer , which is the part of conventional CPR.

But here is a Kick , only giving CPR is not enough to keep someone survive , the CPR has to be High Quality & Effective.

There are some basic Component which make the CPR High Quality & Effective.

• Ensuring Proper Hand placement.

Place the heel of one hand over the centre of victim's chest between the nipples. Place other hand on the  top  of first hand lock the fingers Keeping the elbow straight.

• Providing Compression of adequate rate and depth.

Compress the chest at least 2 inches ( approx. 5 cm ) and maintain a frequency of 100 Compressions Per Minute.

• Minimizing Interruption in chest Compression

One has to take care  that CPR should  not  be stopped more than 10 sec. Except you get the  shockable rhythm or AED prompt Something.

But wait , and think?? for a while , is it really Possible for someone to keep all the things in mind while giving High Quality CPR.

Let's assume for once that Trained Rescuer can perform the High Quality CPR. But for how long he can continue , if he performs High quality CPR.

Think Think Think............

Actually , there are some practical hurdles , while giving High Quality CPR and Unfortunately No One talks about that.

If you eagerly want to know that what are practical problems one can face while giving High Quality CPR than Click the Link Below to go on to next article.

So, this is all about Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation , I did not mention each and every Clinical details , because I want to make this article easy to consume .

Thanks ?? for having me till last.
