ABC’S OR CAB’S???
BIG change in CPR guidelines: no
more ABC’s but rather…CAB’s
C= Circulation
A= Airway
B= Breathing
The CAB’s are your priority
management steps to life-saving
Why the change?
1.In the ABC sequence, chest
compressions were often delayed
while the responder opened the
airway to give mouth to mouth
breaths, etc. By changing the
sequence to CAB, chest
compressions will be initiated sooner.
Why the change??
2. Most victims out of hospital do not
receive any bystander CPR because
in the ABC sequence, the starting
procedures were airway and mouth
to mouth breathing which most
rescuers found difficult. Starting
with chest compressions might
encourage more rescuers to begin
CPR.
WHEN DO YOU DO CPR???
Based on signs of unresponsiveness
with no breathing or no normal
breathing (ie. Victim is gasping!)
When do you do CPR???
Loss of circulation:
Heart attack
Drowning
Allergic Reaction
Stroke
Loss of Breathing
Heart attack
Choking
Drowning
Drug OD
STEPS FOR CPR
1. Make sure scene is safe
2. Put hand on forehead…Shake the
victim’s shoulder and SHOUT to see
if they respond
3. If the victim does NOT respond, and
the victim is not breathing or
gasping for air, yell for someone to
call 911 and get an AED
4. Start CPR
STEPS FOR CPR
If you are alone, call 911 and get an
AED if available. Follow the AED’s
voice prompting.

If no AED is available, immediately


start CPR, beginning with
compressions.
SO WHAT IS AN AED ANYWAY?????
AED
AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL
DEFIBRILLATOR

A device that electrically jolts the heart


to bring it back to a normal rhythm.
Remember…in a cardiac arrest the
heart has stopped beating!
(AED) Automated External
Defibrillator
 When AED arrives, place it at the victims side, next to the responder using it.
 POWER – POWER on the AED.
 ATTACH – ATTACH the pads to the victim, then attach to AED.
 ANALYZE – Clear the victim and ANALYZE the rhythm, by pressing the analyze
button.
 SHOCK – If the AED advises a shock, Clear the victim and press the SHOCK
button.
 CPR – After AED gives the shock, begin CPR beginning with chest compressions.
 RE-ANALYZE – After 2 minutes of CPR, press ANALYZE on AED
 Special situations.
 Un-witnessed out of hospital cardiac arrest in children, perform 5 cycles (2
mins) of CPR before using the AED.
 Use adult pads on victims aged 8 and Older.
 Use specialized pediatric pads on victims aged 1 to 8.
 Currently no evidence to recommend for AED use on infants aged 1 or less.
 If victim is an adult and a victim because of drowning, give 5 cycles of CPR (2
mins) before activating EMS and using the AED.
STEPS FOR CPR
1. Make sure scene is safe
2. Put hand on forehead…Shake the
victim’s shoulder and SHOUT to see
if they respond
3. If the victim does NOT respond, and
the victim is not breathing or
gasping for air, yell for someone to
call 911 and get an AED
4. Start CPR
So…let’s look at CAB
Compressions: (C)
Push hard and fast on the center of the
chest 30 times at a rate of at least 100
compressions/minute. Push down at
least 2 inches with each compression
and allow each compression to “recoil”
before the next compression.
AIRWAY
5. Airway- (A)
Open airway by head tilt-chin-lift
BREATHING
6. Breathing (B)
Pinch victim’s nose closed. Take a
normal breath a cover the victim’s
mouth with your mouth, creating an
airtight seal. Give 2 breaths (1
second each). Watch for the chest
to rise as you give the breath.
CPR STEPS:
Keep giving sets of 30 compressions
and 2 breaths until the AED arrives
or paramedics come

Push hard/fast AT LEAST 100 times a


minute and AT LEAST 2 inches depth
1 Rescuer CPR for Infants
 1 – Check for scene safety.
 2 – Check for responsiveness.
 3 – If no response SHOUT for help, send someone to
ACTIVATE EMS and get an AED.
 A – Open the Airway (head-tilt-chin-lift or jaw thrust)
Look, Listen, Feel for breath (5 – 10 secs). The head is
in a SNIFFING position.
 B – Give 2 breaths (give enough breath to make the
chest rise).***remember to place your mouth around
the nose and mouth.
 Start CPR 30 compressions and 2 breaths at a rate of
100 compressions per min.
 After 5 cycles of 30:2 if alone ACTIVATE the EMS and
get the AED
Relief of Choking in the Adult
and Child
 Ask the victim “Are you choking?” if the victim nods yes
 Ask the victim “Can I Help?” if the victim nods yes
 Position yourself behind the victim (standing for adult, knelling for
child) place one fist turned up with the thumb against the abdomen.
The other hand clasping the first fist.
 Thrust inward and upward with enough force to expel the object.
 Continue to thrust until the object is expelled or the victim becomes
unresponsive.
 If the object is expelled have the victim see a healthcare professional
for further evaluation.
 If the Adult victim becomes unresponsive, ACTIVATE the EMS get an
AED. Open the airway and remove the object if you see it, then begin
CPR. Check the Airway every time before giving breaths during CPR.
 If the Child victim becomes unresponsive, Open the airway, remove
the object if you see it, and begin CPR. After 5 cycles (2 min)
ACTIVATE the EMS and get an AED. Check the Airway every time
before giving breaths during CPR.
Relief of Choking in the Infant.

 Signs of Severe Airway Obstruction


 poor / no air exchange.
 weak ineffective cough / no cough at all.
 turning blue around mouth.
 Knell / sit with infant in your lap
 5 back thrusts, 5 chest thrusts, continue until object is
expelled or infant becomes unresponsive.
 If object is expelled take infant to a Healthcare provider
for further evaluation.
 If object is not expelled and infant becomes
unresponsive, Open the airway, remove the object if
you see it, and begin CPR. After 5 cycles (2 mins)
ACTIVATE the EMS. Check the Airway every time
before giving breaths during CPR.
