Unconscious Choking Video



Unconscious choking
1. give resucue breaths
2. if rescue breaths dont go in, retilt head
3. give 30 compressions
4. check for object, scoop cheek to cheek
5. give rescue breaths
6. if no signs of life, give CPR
7. if signs of life, monitor condition and wait for help

Unconscious choking, Compare and Contrast

In the following video, all steps of the process are identical to what we have been practicing except for one misstep. In the video, the airway of the victim is not being checked for expelled obstruction after compressions are given. Instead, series of 2 breathes and 30 compressions are given until an object visibly "pops out" of the mouth or the victim vomits at which point the victim is put into the safety position and then reassessed for signs of life.

Team TCTD Concious Child Choking

Conscious Child Choking (Start at 1:52 End at 2:45)

Differences:

                The flight attendant never identifies herself or her training

                She encourages the child to cough before giving any treatment

                Sits child down while giving stomach trusts

                She bends the child over her knee while performing back blows

                She encourages the child to cough while she is giving care

Crash Dummies- Alcohol and Atherosclerosis

The following link is a thorough overview of Atherosclerosis and the complications thereof.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHE1ig4k64M

Studies have shown that there is a correlation between binge drinking and higher risk factor for atherosclerosis. Common sense says, the more you drink, the worse your condition gets. However, there are preventative measures that include the following, from a University of Maryland Medical Center article: "lowering blood pressure and LDL ("bad") choloesterol levels, eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, quitting smoking, losing weight, and getting more exercise can prevent atherosclerosis."

Drinking, like all things, is bad in high quantities. It's good to have a good time, but do so with moderation!

Arrhythmias- Team TCTD

Arrhythmia is the change  in electrical impulses in the heart which causes abnormal heart rhythms.
Types of abnormal heart rhthyms:

• bradycardia- heart beats too slow
• tachycardia- heart beats too fast
• fibrillation- quivering
• premature contraction- early beat

Symptoms:

• "fluttering" in the chest
• palpitation
• skipped heart beat
• fatigue
• dizziness
• fainting shortness of breath
• cardiac arrest

Causes:

• scarring or abnormal tissue in heart
• incompletely developed conduction system
• alchol, cigarettes, and recreational drugs
• cardiac medications
• physical activity and stress can worsen

Treatments:

• take medications for it
• monitor pulse
• avoid addictive substances

First Aid Superheroes-Types of AED's

There are three different types of AED's(Automatic External Defibrillation). AED is portable device that sends electrical currents to the heart and re-stimulate.  Automatic- records the event.  Semi-automatic-has doctor override function.  Internal-Defibulator placed under the skin to shock the heart when needed.

Smoking and Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis: A process of progressive thickening and hardening of the walls of medium-sized and large arteries as a result of fat deposits on their inner lining.

Atherosclerosis comes from the Greek words athero (meaning gruel or paste) and sclerosis (meaning hardness). The combination of the two meanings provides a rather gruesome picture of a hard paste (plaque) being deposited in our blood vessels. Not a pretty sight from any angle. 

It is believed by many scientists that this dreaded condition begins when damage occurs to the innermost layer of the artery. Such damage can be caused by…

• High levels of cholesterol
• High triglycerides
• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• Obesity

Smoking (and other tobacco use) greatly increases atherosclerosis development and growth, especially in the aorta and large arteries such as those in the legs and those leading to the heart (coronary arteries). 

Because of the damage, over time fats, cholesterol, platelets, cellular debris and calcium are deposited in the artery wall. These substances may stimulate the cells of the artery wall to produce still other substances. This results in more cells accumulating in the innermost layer of the artery wall where the atherosclerotic lesions form. These cells accumulate, and many of them divide. At the same time, fat builds up within and around these cells. They also form connective tissue.

The innermost layer of the artery becomes markedly thickened by these accumulating cells and surrounding material. If the wall is thickened sufficiently, the diameter of the artery will be reduced and less blood will flow, thus decreasing the oxygen supply.

Often a blood clot forms and blocks the artery, stopping the flow of blood. If the oxygen supply to the heart muscle is reduced, a heart attack can occur. If the oxygen supply to the brain is cut off, a stroke can occur. And if the oxygen supply to the extremities occurs, gangrene can result.

                                        The main causes of ischemic heart attacks
Ischemic heart attacks are often caused from plaque building up in vessels causing them to narrow and make it harder for blood to get through to the heart and clotting more likely.  Some main causes include:
1. Smoking
2. Diabetes Mellitus
3.Hypercholesterolaemia (elevated blood levels of cholesterol)
4. Clots blocking coronary arteries

First Aid 4

In the article Your Heart's Electrical System states that,
"The heart’s electrical system is made up of three main parts: The sinoatrial node, located in the right atrium of your heart, the atrioventricular node, located on the interatrial septum close to the tricuspid valve, and the His-Purkinje system, located along the walls of your heart’s ventricles. Each and every beat of your heart is set in motion by an electrical signal from within your heart muscle. The signal spreads across the cells of your ventricle walls, and both ventricles contract.  As the signal passes, the walls of the ventricles relax and await the next signal. This process continues repeatedly as the atria refill with blood and other electrical signals come from the SA node."
