Diagnosis Of Cardiac Arrest

A. Pulse Check
The triad of pulseslessness, apnea and
unresponsiveness defines the clinical state of
cardiac arrest. Healthcare providers may
spend up to 10 seconds assessing a central
pulse

 IV Mechanism Of Blood Flow
A. Physiology of Coronary Blood Flow
The coronary arteries provide blood flow from the
aortic root to the myocardium. The normally
beating hearth is mainly perfused by coronary
blood flow during diastole. When the heart arrests
and no blood flows to the aorta, coronary blood
flow ceaces.
B Physiology Of Ventilatin
The importance of negative intrathoracic pressure on
venous return during CPR, has been rediscovered
• A. Circulation.
Cardiopulmonay Resuscitation
Push Hard
Push fast
Minimize interruptions
Allow full chest recoil
Avoid overventilation
