What does AED stand for?

• Awesome Editing Degree

• All External Defibrillator

• Auto-Extreme Defibrillator

• Automated External Defibrillator

Define Hands Only CPR

• An alternative procedure for those not trained in conventional CPR that uses uninterrupted chest compression to restore the heartbeat and promote blood circulation

• A medical procedure involving repeated compression of a patient's chest, performed in an attempt to restore the blood circulation and breathing of a person who has suffered cardiac arrest

• A medical device that delivers an electrical shock through the chest to the heart to stop an irregular heart rhythm to resume

• A condition in which the body experiences a lack of sufficient oxygen available to the organs and tissues

What is a Bag-Valve Mask?

• • An electrical apparatus that can detect fatal heart rhythms and deliver a shock through the patient's chest.

• • An aid for artificial ventilation; consists of a self-inflating bag, one-way valve, face mask, and oxygen reservoir.

• • Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes; a sign that body tissues are not receiving enough oxygen.

• • An emergency procedure in which the heart and lungs are made to work by manually compressing the chest overlying the heart and providing rescue breaths.

What is the meaning of Basic Life Support?

• • A technique of basic life support consisting of rhythmic applications of pressure to the chest, which provides circulation to the heart, lungs, brain and other organs.

• A condition in which the heart suddenly stops beating. If this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.

• 2010 American Heart Association guidelines for hands-only CPR recommend at least 100 chest compressions per minute for at least two minutes at a depth of at least 2 inches in the center of the victim’s chest.

• • The level of medical care provided to individuals with life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can receive full medical care at a hospital.

• • Are defined as various determinations that provide information about the basic body conditions of the patient 

• It is the force exerted on the walls of the artery as the heart contracts and relaxes, or beats.

• Various determinations providing information about the patient's basic body conditions are defined as vital signs.

• • Is the force exerted by the blood against the arterial walls when the heart contracts or relaxes.
