Artificial respiration

Many people have careers that they would love to go into. Some of us will risk our lives for others whether that is in the forces, medical field, fire department or police department. I think it should be required that we as people should have to learn CPR. It is unknown when something may happen that we must respond to. Although, those are some of the main careers that need to know how to perform CPR, we should all be required to take a class or learn how to perform CPR. Although, we may never have to use it, it would be a good tool to know how to do when dealing with an emergency. It is said to take an average emergency personal eight minutes to get to us. While that may appear long, the person who is not breathing could die possibly two minutes after they arrive. Anyone can save a life if we know how to do CPR. The first thing anyone should do is check the scene for danger. It would be advised to make sure that there is nothing that is going to danger myself or the recipient when I am trying to perform CPR. If I can see something that can or will danger me, the best thing to try and move the victim carefully away from the effective area. Otherwise, Resolve the danger by putting out the fire, turn off the water or stove. Whatever the case may be in the situation. Next, I would see if the victim is conscious. In order for this, I would need to tap on his or her shoulder and ask whether they are okay at a reasonable volume. If they reply CPR is not needed, however I could…

Many family members may experience uncertainty and fear when it comes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of a loved one. Families may desire to be present during resuscitation, while health care providers (HCP) may face a dilemma in allowing family presence during resuscitation (FPDR). FPDR consists of family members in close proximity to loved ones during physical efforts to preserve life (Leske, McAndrew, & Brasel, 2013). Research has been conducted to better understand the significance of…

These are all end of life decisions that must be talked about, so that one’s family would know what to do in case of a situation involving any of these. CPR is a procedure used when someone’s heart stops or breathing stops (Understanding Advance Directives, 2006). DNR is a written order signed by a physician to stop healthcare teams from preforming CPR. This is only done by the request of the patient and can be cancelled at any time (Understanding Advance Directives, 2006). DNI, may be asked for…

NURS 6303 Health Care Issues and Policy Critical Analysis #2 Adrieanna D. Cox March 27, 2017 Arkansas State University The aim of the article “After the DNR: Surrogates who persist in requesting cardiopulmonary resuscitation” is to examine the roles that physicians play in end of life care along with surrogates who insist that their loved ones receive CPR even if the patient’s treatment team does not see such treatment as beneficial to the patients care. The authors found that…

The purpose of the project is to teach professionals, faculty, students, Buddhist nuns, and others in advancing their understanding of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (“CPR”), and basic forms of first-aid focusing on splints and burns. As one who is certified to administer CPR by the American Red Cross (“ARC”), I relied heavily on the ARC in preparing my presentation. (American Red Cross, 2015). I also used mannequins in my presentation to demonstrate how to administer CPR. All of the training…

The administer interlaces their hands to place on the sternum (middle of chest) to then press into the rib cage. These compressions are at least 2 inches into the rib cage for 30 compressions at a rate of 110 beats a minute. Next the administer delivers two breaths. On T.V shows there are 20 people around to help with CPR when in reality one person is able to. T.V. shows skip details and present care as entrainment. CPR is different on a child from an adult. The difference is that on a scenario…

For my third portfolio, I decided to brainstorm some ideas of what a person can do to restore themselves in under five minutes. The first idea I came up with was to eat a snack. Eating a snack allows for a person to take a break from doing work, and to enjoy the salty or sweet flavor of their favorite treat. While presenting my portfolio, I had snack bags that contained Hershey Kisses, lollypops, and …… available for observers to take home and enjoy, when they need a few minutes to restore…

1) Informing clients about their current illness or health status will encourage them to follow medical treatment regimes while also allowing them to figure out personalized coping strategies (Bastable & Alt, 2014). Having this information will result in the chances of complications to decrease (Bastable & Alt, 2014). Evaluating the clients knowledge gaps and filling them in will not only help us care providers but will lead to better client outcomes. It is also a process that includes the…

Some days it seems impossible to let go of all of the emotional and physical gunk that we collect throughout the day. Energy levels are low, thoughts are negative and shoulders are raised so high that it becomes difficult to locate one's neck. Just breathe. We have all heard it and most of us have advised it but are we really doing it? Our breath is our life source; we can survive for weeks without food, days without water but only moments without oxygen. It takes no conscious effort on our part…

The respiratory system is a system that deals with how animals receive their oxygen, and not so surprisingly there are many ways different ways animals do this. Humans have an organ called the lungs which helps us inhale oxygen, but fish do not. Fish usually use gills to breathe but there are some exceptions such as the lungfish. The lungfish is one of the only types of fish that have lungs. This is why today we will compare the differences between the lungfish and human respiratory systems. We…
