2 distinct adult Chains of Survival
1. In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA)
2. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
ROSC stands for...
Return of spontaneous circulation
In-house cardiac arrest (IHCA)
primary provider recognizes cardiac arrest --> immediate activation of resuscitation team --> early high-quality CPR & rapid defibrillation
Cardiac catherization suite or lab
group of procedure rooms in a hospital or clinic where specialized equipment is used to evaluate the heart and the blood vessels around the heart and in the lungs
Cardiac catheter procedure
involves insertion of a catheter through an artery or vein into the heart to study the heart and its surrounding structures and function
Links in the Chain of Survival for an adult who has cardiac arrest in the hospital are:
- Surveillance, prevention, and treatment of ___(a)___
- Immediate ___(b)___ of cardiac arrest and ___(c)___ of the emergency response system
- Early ___(d)___ with an emphasis on chest compression
- Rapid ___(e)___
- Multidisciplinary ___(f)____
a) prearrest conditions
b) recognition
c) activation
d) CPR
e) defibrillation
f) post-cardiac arrest care
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
1. Lay rescuers (recognize victim's distress, call for help, start CPR, initiate public-access defibrillation until EMS arrives)
2. EMS
3. ICU
Links in Chain of Survival for an adult who has a cardiac arrest outside the hospital are:
- Immediate ___(a)___ of cardiac arrest and ___(b)___ of the emergency response system
- Early ___(c)___ with an emphasis on chest compressions

- Effective ___(e)___ (including rapid stabilization and transport to post-cardiac arrest care)
- Multidisciplinary ___(f)____
a) recognition
b) activation
c) CPR
d) defibrillation
e) advanced life support
f) post-cardiac arrest care
IHCA initial support depends on...

ED stands for...
emergency department
ALS stands for...
advanced life support
Pediatric cardiac Chain of Survival:
- ___(a)___ of arrest
- Early high-quality ___(b)___
- ___(c)___ of the emergency response system
- Effective __(d)___ (including rapid stabilization and transport to post-cardiac arrest care)
- Integrated ___(e)___
a) prevention
b) bystander CPR
c) rapid activation
d) advanced life support
e) post-cardiac arrest care
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when...
the heart develops an abnormal rhythm and can't pump blood
Heart attack occurs when...
blood flow to part of the heart muscle is blocked
What happens in sudden cardiac arrest?
Death occurs within minutes if the victim does not receive immediate lifesaving treatment.
Signs of heart attack
- severe discomfort in the chest or other areas of the upper body
- shortness of breath
- cold sweats
- nausea/vomiting
Hands-only CPR involves...
chest compressions
30:2 CPR involves...
Rescue + breath
Multirescuer coordinated CPR involves...
high-performance team
Main components of CPR
- chest compressions
- airway
- breathing
Rescue breathing (number of breaths per time)
1 breath every 5-6 seconds; 10-12 breaths/min
CPR cycle (number of compressions to breaths)
30 compressions to 2 breaths [Show Less]
