Essays on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

General overview of services offered

A business plan in relation to the Professional Circle is a formal statement of goals, reasons and plans for successful business in offering the healthcare services. These services include advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and Pediatric Advanced life support (PALS). Business plan focuses on goals and strategies on how the above mention services will be offered to achieve a bigger profit margin. To maintain the CPR instructors must be highly qualified and continuous education and periodic recertification are necessary. Consequently, this will win the client's trust and loyalty due to assured better services and competency from ...

Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiac arrhythmias often require immediate medical care that may include resuscitation (Ray, 2004). The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias can be challenging particularly in situations whereby the patient is asymptomatic and ECG findings are normal between symptomatic episodes (Cruickshank, 2008). Distinguishing between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia is also a challenge (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2008). Cardiac arrhythmia should be suspected in patients with a history of syncope, near syncope, palpitations, and/or chest pain (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will justify why monomophic ventricular tachycardia is the most likely diagnosis of a male patient who collapsed abruptly and has hypotension (BP 63/38), tachycardia ( ...

Service Management

Executive Summary Service organizations face numerous challenges in an attempt to please their users. Discontentment and un-satisfaction among service users may lead to the organization in question being unpopular. Organization management differs from one organization to the other. Importantly, an organization can learn from another on how to address certain challenges. This report focuses on two service organizations in a similar industry (American Health Organization and American Red Cross), in relation to CRP. Both organizations offer CRP trainings, in addition to helping victims. The approaches the two employ differ. This report seeks to analyze such differences ...

The research article chosen to critique is, “Using Mock Code Simulation to Improve Responder Performance During the First 5 Minutes of a Code” by Delac, K., Blazier, D., Daniel, L., & N-Wilfong, D. (2013). Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a lifesaving technique, and is very useful in emergencies like drowning or accidents, where the patient is likely to have a heart arrest. Nurse educators are responsible for training nurses and students on this important technique. Training program differs from real life scenario. In real life scenario, nurses go through a range of emotions like fear, confusion, anxiety, etc., that immobilizes them, ...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR is one of the basic first aid procedures that should be taught in school for various reasons, most of which are health related; in the most serious cases, it can spell the difference between the survival and death of a person. The purpose of this paper is to propose a research plan that explains why (and how) it is important to learn how to perform this procedure. In the proposal, the author would draw evidence from both primary and secondary sources, basically previously published academic literatures about the topic. The reality is that humans are ...

Clinical trial – conducted at National Cancer Institute on end-of-life decision making for cancer patients

The National Cancer Institute consducted a clinical trial to find out if viewing the end-of-life video influences decision making of the preferred care given to the patients who suffer from malignant tumors. The purpose of the clinical trial was to determine whether supplementing a verbal description by use of goals-of-care video is likely to improve the end-of-life decision making processes for the patients suffering from malignanat glioma. Research have shown that individuals suffering from advanced cancer, are more comfortable when they are involved in the planning of their end-of-life care. Poor communication can disrupt proper discussions between the patients and the ...

Hands-only Cardiopulmonary has emerged as a new form of resuscitation, which avoids the use of mouth to mouth method. It has become popular, with many people being trained on how to use it. The method, also known as the bystander CPR has made people who were reluctant to learn on the first aid response of mouth to mouth are more comfortable to learn and use the above method. According to a national medical research report, a mere twenty-five percent of the individuals who suffer cardiac arrest receive CPR. The rest have to wait for medical attention from paramedics. Hence, a good number lose ...

Introduction

A vast majority of cultures value life and bringing people back to life is one of the most popular subjects in many fictional books and films. On the other hand, technology has evolved and the stories of people being brought back to life are coming true through implanted and external defibrillators, as well as other technologies (Ahronheim et al. 2009). This means that the natural course of death has slowed down rather dramatically as society acquires knowledge of how to live longer than nature probably intended. Organizations such as The Red Cross Association continue to teach organizations the proper ...

Introduction

This literature review encompasses five studies relating evidence based practice regarding survival rates in ‘sudden death’ cardiac patients. These rates would be examined in relation to the use automated external defibrillators. Assessments of the research aims, methodology, results/ conclusions will be embraced.

How EMS and medicine community instruction on CPR can improve survival rates

Cardiac arrest refers to the abrupt cessation of cardiac pumping activity which is confirmed by the absence of one, a detectable pulse, two, signs of circulation, three, breathing and finally the lack of a response to stimulation. The immediate management for cardiac arrest entails chest compressions performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation that is delivery of shocks via a defibrillator to stop the ventricular fibrillation that prompted the cardiac arrest. CPR is an essential emergency measure which consists of a series of measures for delivering oxygenated blood to vital organs like the heart and the brain through artificial respiration and manual cardiac ...
