Product Information

Guidelines 2021 are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 2020 Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations for Basic Life Support and Automated External Defibrillation and the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation (2021) Adult Basic Life Support. Refer to the ERC guidelines publications for supporting reference material. Whether it's a burn, a fall, or an allergic reaction, a first aid kit's supplies can help reduce discomfort, avoid further problems, and offer temporary relief until emergency medical help can be obtained. Several key components

Treatment of documented hypokalemia may be considered but clear benefit has not been shown ( IIb-C). 2,6 Place both thumbs flat, side-by-side, on the lower half of the sternum (as above), with the tips pointing towards the infant’s head. Depth: depress the lower half of the sternum by at least one third of the anterior–posterior dimension of the chest (which is approximately 4 cm for an infant and 5 cm for a child). Release all pressure on the chest between compressions to allow for complete chest recoil and avoid leaning on the chest at the end of a compression. With your other hand, grasp the far leg just above the knee and pull it up, keeping the foot on the ground.

b) In the event of a substantial breach of the Agreement by Alsco the Customer shall immediately notify Alsco in writing of any such alleged substantial breach and Alsco shall have four weeks from receipt of notice by the Customer to remedy the substantial breach. Should Alsco fail to remedy the substantial breach within the said period, the Customer shall have the right to issue a second notice canceling the Agreement forthwith without further liability. Since EtCO 2 correlates well with cardiac output, EtCO 2 monitoring during CPR to evaluate efficacy of chest compressions is reasonable if minute ventilation is held constant ( IIa-B). 2,5,9 Additionally, ROSC will cause a sharp increase in EtCO 2, and EtCO 2 monitoring should be used as an indicator of ROSC during CPR ( I-A). 2,5,9 Recognizing potential risks and hazards at work or in the community, assessing their likelihood and impact, and taking proactive steps to reduce risks through infrastructure upgrades and safety measures. It is necessary to differentiate between infants (under 1 year of age) and children, as there are some important differences between these two groups. Ventilation with 100% oxygen is reasonable ( IIa-B); however, use of room air may also be considered ( IIb-B). 2,4

In experimental studies in dogs, high-dose atropine is associated with poor outcomes; therefore, doses above 0.04 mg/kg should be avoided. 6

Position yourself vertically above the victim’s chest and, with your arm straight, compress the sternum by at least one-third of the depth of the chest, approximately 5 cm. Several human studies demonstrate improved survival of patients treated by highly-trained professionals with experience in PCA care and in facilities with higher staff-to-patient ratios. 10

Rescuers are no longer taught to feel for a pulse as part of the assessment of need for chest compressions in BLS. The aim is to relieve the obstruction with each thrust rather than to give all 5 (hence may not require all 5 if successful). Fletcher DJ, Boller M, Brainard BM, et al. RECOVER evidence and knowledge gap analysis on veterinary CPR—Part 7: Clinical guidelines. J Vet Emerg Crit Care 2012; 22(S1):S102-S131.c) Total claim upon Alsco is limited to the equivalent of the previous total of 3 months invoices to the customer for rental items. Clench your fist and place it between the umbilicus and xiphisternum. Grasp your fist with your other hand and pull sharply inwards and upwards. Repeat up to 4 more times. However, routine large-volume IV fluid administration is not recommended unless hypovolemia is strongly suspected or documented ( III-C). 2,10 a) Subject always to the customer’s obligation to appoint Alsco as its sole supplier of Managed First Aid Services, the Customer may vary the rental quantities under this Agreement at any time up to 10% subject to notification in writing.

Support the infant in a head-downwards, prone position, to enable gravity to assist removal of the foreign body.Unconscious children and infants who are not in cardiac arrest and clearly have normal breathing, can have their airway kept open by either continued head tilt - chin lift or jaw thrust or, when there is a perceived risk of vomiting, by positioning the unconscious child in a recovery position. Restart a Heart (RSAH) is an annual initiative led by Resuscitation Council UK which aims to increase the number of people surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Keep the patient flat, maintain an open airway by either continued head tilt and chin lift or jaw thrust. The differences between adult and paediatric resuscitation are largely based on differing aetiology. if the rescuer believes the victim to be a child then they should use the paediatric guidelines. If a misjudgement is made, and the victim turns out to be a young adult, little harm will accrue as studies of aetiology have shown that the paediatric causes of arrest continue into early adulthood.
