Doctor Kuzl is a clinical instructor at University of Louisville, the Department of Emergency Medicine. He's also currently serves as assistant medical director for Bullitt County EMS. Medical director for the Florida volunteer fire department in Ferndale High School Fire And EMS Academy.
04:02
Demar Hamlin's cardiac arrest was kind of the 1st national discussion about the on scene CPR and prolonged CPR on scene. And so what we found with Lamar Hamlin with his survival is what really proved what we've been doing in EMS over the last 10 to 15 years, which is kind of forcing our crews to stay on scene until we have a defibrillable rhythm.
07:21
Many pediatric athletic patients are found to have cardiac rest, usually from commercial quarters. Most of the time, it's from a commotional cortisone, that's a injury to the center of the chest. This was what was suspected of what caused the cardiac arrest in Demar Hamlin.
10:44
CPR is the first step before defibrillation. Aim for a 100 to a 120 compressions per minute. You can do hips don't lie by Shakira, Missy Elliott or move along by all American rejects.
13:52
The standard cardiac arrest arrest survival rate is only about 10%. If we can defibrillate within 3 minutes, that individual has a 75% chance of survival. These are the different type of AEDs that you'll see you have the Philips.
17:22
Every one minute without CPR has a 10% decrease in survivability. It's better to have some type of defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation arrest than to not do it at all based on survival.
20:47
There's a benefit and survivability, but there is also a liability if we don't have that public access to fibrillation. There are 2 great courses that we use that most hospitals use as the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association Training Center.
24:12
Recertification every 2 years, every 1 hour refresher is what's recommended yearly, and, of course, the simulations as available. Pediatric AEDs, sometimes the ADs will not have pediatric pads.
27:36
Don't put the pads over the pacemaker or over the defibrillator itself. Now let's talk about pads. And when we're talking about, like, football pads, hockey pads, and lacrosse pads. So what about under protect equipment or over protect equipment?
31:19
The question is, are we doing poor CPR when it comes to manual CPR compared to automated CPR? And that jury is still out. There really is not a large body of evidence to support either or yet.
34:52
The AED is looking for a high heart rate couldn't potentially see SVT? Probably not. So it could be confused when you still have it on the patient that's conscious and they're in a ventricular tachycardia, it could recommend a shock at that point. It's not what it's designed to do, so it has to be on the individual provider and layperson to actually shut off the device.
37:53
Having that physician to consult and say, Well, this is what the manufacturer recommends. Having that also having bleeding control kits. And again, as a license provider, you just gotta go back.
41:19
So sometimes, we only have 2 medics on a truck, 1 to drive, and 1 to do care. So our decision was to get the pneumatic piston device So the Lucas. And then you have the low distributing Vazole, the auto pulse.
44:48
Doctor Heath, thank you so much for lining up a fantastic topics and the flow of the topics through today on shock and resuscitation came in. We will send information about how to access the courses on demand in the next day or so.
