The Why Behind the Science djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/193106847 According to the American Heart Association, over 320,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the United States due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) making SCA the leading cause of death. ]]> 2017-10-02 17:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/193106847 3. Signs of Cardiac Arrest djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/193610369 Cardiac arrest signs and symptoms:
  • The heart stops beating and blood is not supplied to the body.
  • Almost immediate loss of consciousness occurs, and the affected person will not be able to be aroused.
  • The person will fall or slump over..
  • No pulse will be felt (palpable).
  • There will be no signs of breathing.

According to AHA, early defibrillation and CPR are two critical components in treating sudden cardiac arrest. djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/193610604 2017-10-03 19:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/193610604 8.

High Quality CPR djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/193627099 Watch Video (audio capabilities are required): This video provides an overview of the 2015 AHA CPR guidelines.]]> 2017-10-03 19:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/193627099 4. How Is SCA Treated? djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194090086 Cardiac arrest is reversible in most victims if it's treated within a few minutes. When a patient experiences SCA, a Code response is activated and the bedside provider begin CPR according to the guidelines established by AHA. To enhance provider CPR and improve patient outcomes, a biphasic defibrillator with an CPR Dashboard should be utilized.]]> 2017-10-04 20:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194090086 2. What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest? djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194090219 SCA occurs suddenly and often without warning. It is triggered by an electical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). With its pumping action disrupted, the heart cannot pump blood to the brain, lungs and other organs. Seconds later, a person loses consciousness and has no pulse. Death occurs within minutes if the victim does not receive treatment.]]> 2017-10-04 20:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194090219 9. PROs and Cons of the Zoll Defibrillator Technology djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194091845 Pro: According to AHA, research has revealed that high-quality CPR improves survival from cardiac arrest. Therefore, the implementation of the Zoll defibrillator (with the CPR Dashboard) within the acute care setting allows the provider to quickly modify poor skills performance with chest compressions-which improves  the patient's chance of survival.

Con: The Zoll defibrillator has advanced technology that's designed to improve patient's outcomes. However, the benefits of this technology is only as good as the end-user's working knowledge of the equipment-which makes the technology null and void if the provider ignores the visual aids and voice prompts provided by the CPR Dashboard.]]> 2017-10-04 21:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194091845 10. Opinion: Often healthcare providers, who respond to cardiac arrest, assume that their CPR skills are adequate and according to the AHA standards of resuscitation. This is not always the case! Therefore, the use of technology such as the Zoll CPR Dashboard can remove barriers by taking the guesswork out of resuscitation while driving high-quality CPR. The benefit from implementing this technology within they acute care setting can improve patient outcomes. djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194401129 2017-10-05 17:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194401129 Resource djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194403083 Neuar, R.W., Shuster, M., Callaway, C.W., Gent, L.M., & Atkins, D.L,.

The Zoll CPR Dashboard Technology provides Real-time Feedback djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194528567 Unique to Zoll, the CPR Dashboard provides rescuers with detailed real-time visual feedback on their quality of chest compressions. The rate, depth, and release of each compression is captured with a sensor, which is built into Zoll's CPR electrodes. ]]> 2017-10-05 23:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194528567 11. Summary djackson71 https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194679562 Based on the research provided by American Heart Association's 2015 CPR guidelines,  incorporating technology such as the Zoll CPR Dashboard (that provides visual & voice activated prompts) healthcare providers can utilize this technology to enhance their quality of chest compressions while improving patient outcomes. ]]> 2017-10-06 13:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/djackson71/bjd1le7e3ex/wish/194679562
