Thank you. I just remember from a course that we need to open the door when asking for help before we start the compressions so when help arrives they do not have to struggle at the door.
Good video. Please be careful with the term “heart attack“ a heart attack is a myocardial infarction. Everyone who has a heart attack certainly does not go into cardiac arrest and everyone that goes into cardiac arrest does not necessarily do so because of a myocardial infarction or “heart attack”. Many people get the term “heart attack confused with cardiac arrest. Someone experiencing a heart attack may have chest pain, left arm pain, jaw pain and nausea. Their hearts are still beating and they do not need CPR. They need 340mg of Aspirin. Someone experiencing cardiac arrest is unconscious, their heart is either not beating at all or it is not beating sufficiently enough to put blood around the body. They will not have a pulse. They will not be breathing properly
Many thanks! As you correctly pointed out, an MI is not synonymous or necessarily related to an cardiac arrest defined as a cessation in myocardial contraction, as well as a conscious patient who is experiencing a MI is certainly not in need of CPR, rather prompt medicinal management following confirmation of a STEMI on ECG (Morphine [1-10mg tritrated to response] GTN Spray [2 sprays equating to 800mcg], Aspirin 300mg, Clopidogrel 300mg [consider upto 600mg], Fondaparinux 2.5mg SC [only if the patient is not undergoing Angio). This would be followed up immediately with a transfer to a facility capable of Primary Coronary Intervention (PCI). If this is delayed, then medical thrombolysis would have to prescribed. Causes of cardiac arrest other than MI include Hypoxia, Hypovolemia, Hyperkalemia, Hypothermia, Tension Pneumothorax, Cardiac Tamponade and Toxins Hope this clarifies!
After reading this comment thread, I wanna know if there’s a book containing all details like this, as this should come handy in urgency situations. I’m gonna take a screenshot of the comments. ✌🏻
before opening up the airway you need to check the airway for any obstructions. if they have an obstruction in the airway then opening up the airway may cause the obstruction to move further down into the trachea.
Hey, thanks for your comment. So the current guidelines from the Resuscitation council UK still use the ABC protocol: www.resus.org.uk/resuscitation-guidelines/adult-basic-life-support-and-automated-external-defibrillation/#blsaed
@@sridharraovideos med student here! We are taught to do it DCABE. D- Disability( call for Defribillator) C- Circulation A- Airway B- Breathing E- exposure Before doing these steps, you need to call an ambulance and you make sure that the zone is safe (Safety).
Your explanation is as clear as crystal water, thank you very much indeed for sharing this video.
Thank you. I just remember from a course that we need to open the door when asking for help before we start the compressions so when help arrives they do not have to struggle at the door.
Thank you, now I'm ready for my training about BLS. thank you you for all the knowledge that you share for us❤️

Hope this clarifies!
just to add
asystoli, pulseless tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and PEA are the typical 4 cases of cardiac arrest

Remember kids, Cardiac arrest is an electric fault, Myocardial inf(Heart attack) is a plumbing fault.
not necessarily just an electric fault. PEA and the 4H and 4T for causes of cardiac arrests.
easy to followVery informative and
Very good vedio. Thank u
Thank you for posting this, very helpful.
Audio. Sound practical and interesting.
Thank you for the short and precise video.
Very helpful, thanks a lot dr
Educational
Thanks for publishing this video
I love the information
Thank you for the video
Basic life support is an immediate Care you resuscitation
Thanks
Thank you very much
good video, thanks for this
Thank you
❤
Thank you ❤
Safety very important
Very articulate
Thank you.
Good
Thanks you
Great help thank you!
What's the next curse ?
Thank you sir 🙏😌
Can we start with AED when it arrives
Thanks for your comment.
Yes absolutely this would be the priority
How can we get certificate about this training?
Would like certificate to for this video
I thought the protocol now being practiced was CAB and NOT ABC...

Yes
From 2017 onwards instead of ABC,,.... CABD is being used because circulation by compressions is more important than airway
@@sridharraovideos med student here! We are taught to do it DCABE.
D- Disability( call for Defribillator)
C- Circulation
A- Airway
B- Breathing
E- exposure
Before doing these steps, you need to call an ambulance and you make sure that the zone is safe (Safety).
@@loudequalsfunny1496 you are a med student, but i am a medical practitioner since 25 years
Mouth to mouth respiration is dangerous as to prevent infection transmission
Thanx alot.. your british accent is little difficult
Add BLS with my name
If I'm not wrong, in the entire vedio its not been told that we should check the pulse through carotid artery, if I'm wrong pardon me...
After doing cpr always check the cateroid using the two finger theres nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, i said its not been told in the vedio
Thank you
