  WE HAVE SOME THINGS IN COMMON
THE MENACE OF
SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST
LOOKING AND SOUNDING
      FAMILIAR?
ISSUES SUMMARY 1
                 LOOK LIKE THIS?
CPR Component       Challenges to Improving Quality


Recognition         Failure to recognize gasping as sign,
                    unreliable Pulse Detection

Initiation of CPR   Low Bystander CPR response Rate,
                    Incorrect Dispatch instructions

Compression Rate    Slow compression Rate


Compression Depth   Shallow compression Depth


Chest Wall Recoil   Rescuer Leaning on Chest


                                                            10
ISSUES SUMMARY 2
                   LOOK LIKE THIS?
CPR Component               Challenges to Improving Quality

Compression Interruptions   Excessive interruptions for pulse check, Ventilations,
                            defibrillation, intubation, IV access, other


Ventilations                Ineffective ventilations, prolonged interruptions in
                            compressions , excessive ventilations (esp with airway)

Defibrillation              Prolonged time to defibrillate avail, prolonged
                            interruptions in chest compressions pre- and post
                            shocks
Team Performance            Delayed rotation, leading to rescuer fatigue and decay
                            in compression quality, poor communication among
                            rescuers leading to unnecessary interruptions in
                            compressions
                                                                                 11

HOW ARE HOSPITALS
DOING ON THEIR END?
“Quality CPR is a means to improve survival from
cardiac arrest. Scientific studies demonstrate
when CPR is performed according to guidelines,
the chances of successful resuscitation increase
substantially. Minimal breaks in compressions, full
chest recoil, adequate compression depth, and
adequate compression rate are all components of
CPR that can increase survival from cardiac arrest.
Together, these components combine to create
high performance CPR (HP CPR)”

CAN’T WE SOLVE OUR
PROBLEMS WITH TECHNOLOGY?
TRANSITION:
Structured and Supported Debriefing

       Our Definition!
     A provider‐centric process
     designed to standardize the
     debriefing process to assist
  clinicians in thinking about what
 they did, how they did it, and how
          they can improve.
Structured and Supported Debriefing
Structured elements include three specific debriefing
     phases with related goals, actions, and time
                      estimates.
Thoughtful discussion after an attempted
 resuscitation is important to facilitate the
  sorting out of events as well as gaining
    insight on what happened and why
We often learn better through self‐discovery
 and self‐analysis than by other methods!
IMPLEMENTATION

    •Have long term view
   •Patients and patience
•INSTANT GRATIFICATION!
BOY, I AM
    REALLY
   LOOKING
 FORWARD TO
     THE
DEBRIEFING ON
  THIS CASE!
PROVIDERS NEED TO
     EXPRESS
 THEMSELVES AND
 THEIR FEELINGS…
AND THIS IS A GREAT
 FORUM FOR THAT!

NOT PUNATIVE!
ROLE OF FACILITATOR
•PROVIDE SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR

Scientific studies demonstrate when CPR is performed according to guidelines, the chances of successful resuscitation increase substantially. Minimal breaks in compressions, full chest recoil, adequate compression depth, and adequate compression rate are all components of CPR that can increase survival from cardiac arrest. Together, these components combine to create high performance CPR (HP CPR)”

Editor's Notes

  1. There is clearly more to our jobs than lesson maps, toolkits, textbooks and DVDs. We need to feel inspired and translate Guidelines into actionable strategies…ultimately we hope that our actions will result in something remarkable…snatching a life back from death itself!
  2. Welcoming remarks and review of objectivesUpon the conclusion of this discussion, you should be able To explain evidence based strategies for improving survival from both in and out of hospital cardiac arrestTo identifyAHA programs and products for use by various groupsTo develop a localized action plan to improve outcomes We hope to provide you all with pragmatic strategies that can be used to improve survival as well as provide access to AHA science, products and programs that are specifically designed to help increase the probability of prompt bystander initiated CPR, and improve the quality of resuscitation provided by all rescuers.Returning a patients prior quality of life and functional state of health is the ultimate goal of a resuscitation system of care.
  3. Thisexcellent summary table which continues on the following slide, outlines the key challenges to improve CPR quality and improve survival. As you can see, the challenges span recognition, initiation of CPR, compression rate and depth, incomplete recoil, ADVANCE SLIDEventilation, defibrillation and team performance. Each issue is significant, and if not addressed entirely, prevents optimized survival.The Guidelines for CPR and ECC are designed to address each of these challenges, and help improve outcomes.
  4. …ventilation, defibrillation and team performance. Each issue is significant, and if not addressed entirely, prevents optimized survival.The Guidelines for CPR and ECC are designed to address each of these challenges, and help improve outcomes.
  5. In this chart, we contrast between a majority of systems with that of an ideal, or more optimized resuscitation system. Regretfully, many systems do not collect meaningful data relating to cardiac arrest, employ fragmented efforts to improve survival, and often lack substantive plans.The American Heart Association would like to help. Full implementation of Guidelines, with data collection, planning and implementation of a broad based strategy is the best recommendation for improving survival from sudden cardiac arrest, acute coronary syndromes such as ST-elevation MI, and acute stroke.
  6. Efforts to improve independent links in the chain of survival should not be dismissed, however, perhaps it is important to also understand that the potential benefit in survival is limited when we only work on some of the links, unless we can also invoke equal improvements in those remaining links.
  7. There is wide community and hospital variability in cardiac arrest survival. High-performing systems haveused this continuous quality improvement approach with great success, as have systems that have more recentlyadopted this strategy. These successes have occurred in a variety of systems, suggesting that all communities andhospitals can substantially improve care and outcomes.Since each system has different characteristics and challenges, there is no single prescriptive strategy for improvement.However, each system has an obligation to address the fundamental principles of quality improvement: measurement,benchmarking, and feedback and change.A conceptual appreciation of this system and its working components is illustrated here. Improving care requires assessment of performance. Only when performance is evaluated can participants in a system effectively intervene to improve care. This process of quality improvement consists of an iterative and continuous cycle of(1) systematic evaluation of resuscitation care and outcome,(2) benchmarking with stakeholder feedback, and(3) strategic efforts to address identified deficiencies.The process of simply measuring and benchmarking care can positively influence outcome. However, ongoing review and interpretation are necessary to identify areas for improvement. Local data may suggest the need to increase bystander CPR response rates, improve CPRperformance, or shorten the time to defibrillation. Useful strategies might include programs targeting citizen awareness, education and training for citizens and professionals, and various technologic solutions. These programs need to be continually re-evaluated to ensure that potential areasfor improvement are fully addressed.Although future discoveries will offer opportunities to improve survival, we currently possess the knowledge and tools—represented by the Chain of Survival—to address many of these care gaps.
  8. Instructors, like you and those in your Training Centers and Sites must be prepared to lead in thedevelopment and implementation of localized plans to optimize survival. These plans should be based on data, the Guidelines themselves and address each and every individual link in the chain of survival, as well as all the interactions of all the links combined.Knowledge by itself is just that, knowledge. We need to combine knowledge with action, and the best way to accomplish this is to have a plan.Where there is no plan or vision, the people are sure to perish.
  9. THANK YOU.
  10. The 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC once againemphasize the need for high-quality CPR, including• A compression rate of at least 100/min (a change from“approximately” 100/min)• A compression depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) in adults• Allowing for complete chest recoil after each compression• Minimizing interruptions in chest compressions• Avoiding excessive ventilation
