being a life saver

yesterday we had second lecture in CPR and some practise on OCSE . plus with tips in OSCE

i will have an osce this friday. there will be 3 station which is CPR, venessation, and chest examination.

1.CPR

only working for primary cardiac arrest
remember this at least 3 possibility what cause the people to collapse


primary cardiac arrest = heart attack, unresponsive + not breathing / breathing abnormally
steps:
- people collapse
-> enviroment safe
-> unresponsive
-> call for help
-> check for foreign body in mouth
-> open airways and hear and look to the chest to check breathing + pulse ( not breathing /breathing abnormally)
-> call for ambulance (999)
-> do CPR ( 30 chest compression:2 ventilation)
-> continue until ambulance came or patient become conscious

beware:
1. check pulse correctly ( right or left near carotid artery)
2. the neck when want to open the airways
3. chest compression 100 beat per min
4. patient conscious -put into recovery position, then assist


this is what i learn and i tried to recall it back..well look simple but to do the correct steps it not easy....but huh....my hand shacking for the first time doing it.need more practise.

chest examination?
need to be finish examination and summarise within 5 min. can I?
well i know the step but not really sure why we have to do that
for example : purpose of tar stain, flapping, anemic, jaundice, and why all that relate to chest examination.
need to fine the answer first.
there will be not really enjoyable when just remember the step but i dont really know why i am doing that and it relation on chest examination..
if someone know please tell me ..ok?


to be continue ...
