1
00:00:02,280 -->
00:00:09,309
Now let's cover rescue breathing for the healthcare
professional on an adult patient. Now in this
2
00:00:09,309 -->
00:00:13,870
case, we still need to make sure the scene
is safe and that our gloves are on, but when
3
00:00:13,870 -->
00:00:21,310
we assess the patient, our main point here
is can we find a pulse or not? And if we can't
4
00:00:21,310 -->
00:00:26,720
find one, we're going to be going onto CPR.
But if we do find a pulse and we're confident
5
00:00:26,720 -->
00:00:30,720
that it's a pulse then we're going to be doing
rescue breathing and this is how it's going
6
00:00:30,720 -->
00:00:36,289
to look. My scene is safe. My gloves are on.
My rescue mask with a one way valve is available.
7
00:00:36,289 -->
00:00:41,739
Sir, are you all right? Are you okay? They
don't respond. I tap and should. Sir, can
8
00:00:41,739 -->
00:00:47,609
you hear me? They still don't respond. I activate
EMS or I call a code. You in the plaid shirt,
9
00:00:47,609 -->
00:00:51,800
go call 911 and come back. I might need your
help and if you can find an AED, please bring
10
00:00:51,800 -->
00:00:58,309
it with you. Now I'm going to head tilt, chin
lift, look for normal breathing and check
11
00:00:58,309 -->
00:01:04,030
for a pulse for no more than ten seconds.
Immediately I can feel a pulse, but the patient
12
00:01:04,030 -->
00:01:10,530
is not breathing normally. This includes the
potential for agonal respirations which we've
13
00:01:10,530 -->
00:01:16,060
covered in other trainings. But it's not considered
real breathing. So this person is going to
14
00:01:16,060 -->
00:01:22,159
receive now one breath every five seconds
for a total of about two minutes before I
15
00:01:22,159 -->
00:01:31,350
reassess the pulse. And it looks like this.
One one thousand, two one thousand, three
16
00:01:31,350 -->
00:01:40,820
one thousand, four one thousand. One one thousand,
two one thousand, three one thousand, four
17
00:01:40,820 -->
00:01:48,630
one thousand. So I continue giving these rescue
breaths, one breath every five seconds and
18
00:01:48,630 -->
00:01:55,670
in about two minutes, I recheck for a carotid
pulse. If the pulse is present but the patient
19
00:01:55,670 -->
00:02:01,990
is not breathing, I continue rescue breathing
and I await EMS and I have the AED here, ready
20
00:02:01,990 -->
00:02:07,229
to go in case I lose the pulse as well. If
at any time on my reassessment the breathing
21
00:02:07,229 -->
00:02:13,310
is not there and there is no carotid pulse,
I'm going to go immediately into CPR. If my
22
00:02:13,310 -->
00:02:18,099
AED is present I'm going to use the AED right
away and I'll go into CPR mode. And we'll
23
00:02:18,099 -->
00:02:22,059
continue this rescue breathing until help
arrives or the patient revives.
