NCORT Guidelines Basic Life Support Training for Trainer Basic Life Support Sarawak State 4-6 March 2015
NCORT National Committee for Resuscitation Training Created by Ministry Of Health Malaysia in 2006
NCORT Published in 2007 Committee from Anaesthesia and intensive care Emergency and traumatology Cardiology Peadiatrics General medicine
Created the Guidelines on Resuscitation Training on MOH Hospitals and Health Care Facilities 2011 Based on ILCOR 2010 Suited for local cultural, economic, system differences in practice and resources, and for ease of training
NCORT Guidelines Adult Basic Life Support Based on ILCOR part 5 and 7 Paediatric Basic Life Support Based on ILCOR part 5 and 10
ILCOR The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) was formed in 1992 to provide an opportunity for the major organizations in resuscitation to work together on CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and ECC (Emergency Cardiovascular Care) protocols. The name was chosen in 1996 to be a deliberate play on words relating to the treatment of sick hearts - "ill cor " ( cor is latin for heart ).
NCORT Guideline
Highlights
1.DANGER Assessing Danger and Safety to Rescuer prior to resuscitation Protect self from danger including: Wearing PPE; mask apron, and gloves Avoiding spills of body fluid, sharps and electrical wires at bedside Determining unstable beds and trolleys
2.RESPONSIVENESS Assess by tapping both shoulders twice and calling “ Hello, hello are you OK?”
2.RESPONSIVENESS - CHILD Gently stimulate the child and ask loudly “Are you alright?” If child responds by answering or moving, leave the child in the position found (provided safe), check condition and seek help. Reassess regularly If no response – Proceed to Shout!
3 .SHOUT! Shout (Call) for help “Emergency! Emergency! Bring the resuscitation trolley and defibrillator”
4 .Positioning of Patient Victims found on floor should initially managed on the floor Face down victims shall be rolled over to supine position Air filled mattress should be deflated during CPR Backboard not recommended – delays in initiation of chest compression, interrupting compressions, dislodging tubes or catheters
5.Airway Open using Head Tilt and Chin Lift maneuver
6.BREATHING – Adult Assessment of breathing Look for evidence of abnormal breathing or gasping Not more than 10 seconds Not for giving rescue breaths Not for LOOK, LISTEN and FEEL
6.BREATHING - Adult LOOK at chest, neck and face Absence of breathing or presence of abnormal = cardiac arrest Agonal gasp = cardiac arrest Start Compression in absence of normal breathing
6.BREATHING - Peads Keep airway open, LOOK, LISTEN and FEEL for normal breathing Not more than 10 Seconds If breathing normally – put in recovery position, send for help. Check for continued breathing. If breathing not normal or absent, give 5 effective breaths Listen Feel
7.PULSE CHECK - Adult NOT RECOMMENDED prior to initiation of first chest compression
7.PULSE CHECK - Peads Check pulse for I nfant and Child Not more than 10 seconds Infant – Brachial pulse Child – Carotid pulse Femoral Pulse – both Infant and Child INFANT INFANT CHILD CHILD
7.PULSE CHECK - Peads If Pulse is ≥ 60 /min but inadequate breathing – continue rescue breaths at 12 – 20 breaths per min until child breathing effectively on his/her own If pulse is < 60 /min and signs of poor perfusion, start chest compression
8.CHEST COMPRESSION High Quality chest compression Location: Lower half of sternum No longer using inter nipple line landmark Heel of hand at center of chest with other hand on top Rate: At least 100 compression per minute
8.CHEST COMPRESSION Depth: At least 5 cm Recoil: Complete recoil of chest after each compression Interruption of chest compression: Shall be minimized during entire resuscitation attempt
8.CHEST COMPRESSION - Peads Techniques One rescuer CPR Infant – tips of 2 fingers Two rescuer CPR Infant – 2 thumb chest compression Child > 1 year – heel of one hand at lower sternum, larger child – 2 hands interlocking fingers 1 Rescuer 2 Rescuer Child >1 year INFANT
8.CHEST COMPRESSION - Peads Site Compression Infant – lower half of the sternum Child – lower half of the sternum Depth Infant – at least 1/3 depth of chest or 4 cm Child – at least 1/3 depth of chest or 5 cm Rate – 100/min but not more than 120/min
9.RATIO COMPRESSION TO VENTILATION Adult 30:2 Child One rescuer - 30:2 Two rescuer – 15:2
10.VENTILATION Ventilate using Bag Valve Mask (BVM) Each breath given within one second inspiratory time until a chest rise observed Mouth to mouth in areas without BVM Protective devices for Mouth to mouth ventilation
11.DEFIBRILLATION Essential step in chain of survival of cardiac arrest patients AED / Manual Defibrillation is part of BLS Attach AED as soon as it is available, minimizing interruption to chest compression Chest compression should immediately resume after 1 shock
12.REASSESSMENT DURING CPR After every 5 cycle or 2 minutes of CPR, check for normal breathing
13.PULSE CHECK If cardiac monitor is available, pulse shall be checked when an organized rhythm is seen Pulse check at Carotid and Femoral arteries
14.STOPPING CPR CPR can be stopped in the following circumstances: Victims recovers with normal breathing Rescuer is exhausted Assistance arrives to take over CPR
15.RECOVERY POSITION Recovery position is applied when victims resume normal breathing but remain unresponsive Recovery position True lateral position Head in dependent position Position is stable Position is safe and comfortable to patient
16.BLS ALGORITHM D R S A B C D
Special Circumstances
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES Cardiac Arrest caused by asthma, drowning and drug overdose No special consideration when starting BLS Pregnancy Manual Left Uterine Displacement shall be performed in Pregnancy associated with cardiac arrest
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES Trauma Jaw thrust can be used instead of a head tilt-chin lift to establish a patent airway if multi-system trauma is present or in head and neck trauma; however this should not delay assessment and commencement of CPR.
CPR Techniques and devices Circulatory adjunct and techniques Eg : mechanical CPR Insufficient evidence to support or refute Cough CPR and pre cordeal Thump Not recommended Have the potential to delay chest compression and defibrillation
Foreign Body Airway Obstruction
CONSCIOUS ADULT FBAO Back blows and/or abdominal thrusts in rapid continuous sequence for a conscious adult with FBAO and poor oxygenation ( universal distress sign , ineffective cough, cyanosis) Back blows and/or chest thrusts in rapid continuous sequence for a conscious adult whom is pregnant or obese with FBAO and poor oxygenation (universal distress sign, ineffective cough, cyanosis)
Unconscious Adult FBAO Manage similarly as an unresponsive victims in BLS Algorithm Finger sweep shall only be performed is solid material is seen in the airway
Child FBAO If Mild, do not interfere – allow victim to clear airway by coughing, but observe for sign of severe FBAO Severe FBAO Child – perform back blows or abdominal thrusts , until expelled of child becomes unresponsive Infant – deliver repeated cycles of 5 back blows followed by 5 chest thrusts , until expelled or infant becomes unresponsive
Child FBAO Abdominal thrust-> Not recommended in infants – may cause liver injury If victims becomes unresponsive Start CPR After 30 compressions – open airway, if foreign body seen, remove it but do not perform blind finger sweeps Attempts 2 rescue breaths Continue with cycles of chest compressions and ventilations until object is expelled After 2 minutes, activates EMS if no one has done so
