Objectives
O Discuss cause of a heart attack and how
to reduce your risk of heart disease
O Examine heart attack warning signs
O Review the importance of rapid treatment
for a heart attack
O Demonstrate Hands-Only CPR
Heart Disease: Major Problem
in the United States
O Heart disease #1 killer of adults
O Coronary heart disease
O Affects 17.6 million Americans
O Heart Attack
O 1.2 million affected each year
O 4,100 per day
O 800,000 deaths per year
O Half occur before reaching the ER
What is a Heart Attack?
O Blood flow through
one of the coronary
arteries becomes
blocked.
O Heart disease, which
can lead to a heart
attack, develops over
time as fatty deposits
narrow the coronary
arteries, restricting
blood flow to the
heart.
Controllable Risk Factors
O Cigarette smoking
O Diabetes
O High blood cholesterol
O High blood pressure
O Overweight/obesity
O Physical inactivity
Non-Controllable Risk Factors
O Age
O Gender
O Race/heredity
O Family history of early heart disease
O Previous heart attack or other signs of heart
disease
What is a Heart Attack
Really Like?
O Heart attacks often
begin with vague
symptoms that slowly
intensify.
O Pain or discomfort can
be relatively mild.
O Symptoms may come
and go for hours
and/or days.
Heart Attack Warning Signs
O Chest pain (ache, burning, pressure,
tightness)
O Shortness of breath
O Left arm pain
O Jaw pain
O Neck/back pain
O Nausea/vomiting
O Feeling weak, lightheaded, or faint
Heart Attack in Women
O Women are as vulnerable as men.
O Tend to delay longer than men in seeking help.
O Likely to experience:
O Shortness of breath
O Fatigue
O Nausea/vomiting
O Back or jaw pain
Reaction to a Heart Attack
O May not be sure it is a heart attack
O May confuse with symptoms of other
diseases or conditions, such as heartburn
or indigestion
O May ignore symptoms or take a wait-and-
see approach
Delay Can Be Deadly
O Early recognition is
key
O 85% of heart damage
occurs within the first
2 hours of blockage
O Within 6 hours of
blockage, there is
usually total damage

Importance of Rapid
Treatment for Heart Attack
O Quick action and medical treatment
restores blood flow and saves heart
muscle
O Treatments should begin within 1 hour
after symptoms start
O Dead heart muscle cannot be restored
Do Not Wait to Call 9-1-1
Importance of Activating
Emergency Medical Services
O Medical treatment is started by EMTs and
Paramedics
O Able to obtain EKG, administer medications
and oxygen
O Communicate with hospital nurses and
physicians
O Activate Cardiac Specialists from the
ambulance
Why People Do Not Call 9-1-1
O Think symptoms are not bad enough
O Think transporting self is faster
O Concern about embarrassment
O Don’t want to cause a scene
O Don’t want to bother the EMTs
O Too expensive
O Unaware of benefits of using 9-1-1
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
O Heartbeat stops abruptly and
unexpectedly which stops flow of blood to
the body
O Loss of consciousness, unresponsive
O Loss of normal breathing
O Loss of pulse
O 95% of deaths from sudden cardiac arrest
occur before arriving at the hospital and
are often witnessed by family, friends, or
co-workers
O CPR and access to an AED can double
the chance of survival
What do you do
if someone collapses in
front of you?
Step 1: Check for Response
O Tap or gently shake
victim
O Ask the victim
loudly-“Are you
OK?”
Step 2: Call
O Have someone call
911, or call 911
yourself
O Ask someone to
find the closest AED
Step 3: Compress
O Initiate hands-only
CPR
O Push hard and fast
O 100 times a minute!
Hand Placement
Early Defibrillation with AED
AED Operation
O Call 9-1-1 (Have bystander start CPR)
O Turn AED power on
O Remove top/shirt
O Place AED pads directly on chest (not
abdomen)
O Follow AED prompts
O Push shock if indicated
O Resume CPR

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. These pictures are of a retired firefighter with KCKFD. The picture on the left, notice the dark line above the arrow and the absence of the dark line below the arrow. This shows where the artery is blocked. The blood flow to that portion of the heart is severely compromised. The picture on the right is the after picture. Notice that you can now see how the blood flow improved after receiving treatment at the hospital.
  2. What can you do to “control” your risk of having heart disease or a heart attack. The things listed on this slide are considered controllable risk factors and therefore things that you as an individual have the ability to limit your risk of heart disease.
  3. The things listed on this slide are considered to be non-controllable risk factors, i.e. outside of our control to limit our risk for heart disease. We cannot change our age (although most of us would like to), gender, our race, our family, or whether we’ve had a previous heart attack.
  4. People think a heart attack is like what they see in the movies or on TV. Someone clutches their chest and falls on the floor, where they immediately start writhing around. This is not the case. Sometimes it may be like what you see on TV, but most of the time it is not.
  5. Ask the audience to shout out what they are some heart attack warning signs.
  6. Reiterate the warning signs. Many people are thrown off when you ask them about their chest pain. They may say they don’t have pain and will describe it as an ache, pressure, burning, or just a tightness or squeezing sensation. Remember, some symptoms may come and go so may not have all these symptoms at the same time. Sometimes will have had chest pain yesterday, but not today and could still be having a heart attack.
  7. Women can present differently. Fatigue is the #1 symptom. This is not “I have to take a nap” fatigue. This is the “I’m walking through wet cement and I can’t take another step kind of fatigue. Survivor story: 52 y.o. female; full-time employee, full-time college student, and full-time mom. She came home from work to study for a test that she had the following evening. She began to feel exhausted…like she never had before. Her son, a police officer, had just come home from work. She told him she was going to go upstairs and lie down. He heard a thud upstairs, and ran up to find his mother on the floor pulseless and non-breathing. He called 911, and began doing hands-only CPR (He had just learned it that week). He continued until the ambulance arrived. She was taken to the hospital, where she walked out 2 weeks later.
  8. People attribute their symptoms to other illnesses that they have. “I have some left arm pain, but it may be my arthritis”. Or “I’m nauseous, sweaty, and weak…I think it’s just the flu”. “It’s just heartburn.” Those that take the wait-and-see approach just take a couple Tylenol and are going to see how they feel in the morning. They may not see morning.
  9. Recognizing the symptoms early and seeking treatment is key to save the heart muscle. The longer someone waits, the more detrimental the circumstances. Within the first 2 hours of a heart attack, 85% of the damage to the heart has already occurred. Within 6 hours, there is usually total damage to the heart muscle..
  10. A person experiencing signs and symptoms of a heart attack should call 911 within 5 minutes of their symptoms starting. We want them at the hospital within 60 minutes after the start of the symptoms. Dead heart muscle cannot be restored
  11. Do you know what the typical response time for EMS to get to your house is for your community? 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes??? Getting EMS activated is crucial to getting Paramedics to your side quickly so that treatment can begin.
  12. Care for patients that are having a heart attack starts as soon as the fire truck or ambulance gets there. Vital signs are taken, oxygen is given, a heart monitor is placed. They can perform a 12 lead EKG. Aspirin is given, along with Nitro. An I.V. is started and pain meds are given. If you are having a heart attack, before the ambulance even pulls away from the residence, the hospital is notified and are making the appropriate preparations. In many hospitals, you can bypass the ED and be taken straight to the cardiac catheterization lab where the Cardiologist and their team that is trained in the procedure to open the blocked artery will be waiting.
  13. “What will the neighbors think with all the lights and sirens?” Story: 55 y.o. male was out working on his acreage in the rural metro area. He began feeling some chest discomfort and shortness of breath. He came inside for lunch and told his wife he felt “funny”. Instead of going to the hospital, he went back out and continued to work on his land. About 3:00 p.m., he came inside and told his wife that he thought he should get checked out. He got into his car and drove himself to a hospital, which was not the closest hospital. He parked the car, and walked into the ER. He went to admitting, and gave them his info. He then went to triage where he finally said the magic words “chest pain”. He was immediately given a room and the staff began the work-up. 15 minutes later he was dead. If he had called 911, the care could have begun immediately, and he would have been transported to the closest appropriate facility. His chances of survival would have been significantly better.
  14. When the heart stops beating normally, blood stops flowing to the brain, the heart, and the rest of the body, and the person collapses. Without quick treatment, the person will remain dead. If bystanders can quickly begin CPR and use an AED to defibrillate the heart (to help reestablish normal heart rhythm), the chance of survival increases. Every minute of delay in defibrillation decreases the chance of survival by 7-10%.
  15. So, what do you do if a stranger or a loved one collapses in front of you? Check- Call- Compress These 3 steps can help you save a life.
  16. Step 1- check for a response by gently tapping or shaking the victim and asking them if they are ok.
  17. Step 2- If you do not get a response from the victim, call 911. This can be done by someone else if you are not alone. You also need to ask someone to find the closest AED and bring it to you. Remember, early defibrillation with an AED helps to increase the chance of survival.
  18. Step 3- Begin compressions (CPR). Place the heel of one hand in the center of the chest along the breast bone. Next, place your other hand on top and lace your fingers together. Position your shoulders directly over your hands, keep your arms straight and your fingers up off the chest. Push down hard on the chest and let the chest come back up. Continue to push the on the chest hard and fast, 100 compressions per minute.
  19. Early defibrillation is considered to be the most critical link in survival. Nowadays, AEDs can be found in many public buildings, schools, sports stadiums, shopping malls, restaurants, airports, etc. You may recall having seen a sign or box such as the top 2 pictures this slide. The picture on the bottom is a picture of what the AED may look like. There are different brands of AED, so they may vary. Notice the one in the box on the top left is yellow while the one pictured on the bottom is blue. The functionality for all AEDs are similar.
  20. AEDs will have instructions for use on the machine. There should be patches with the AED. These patches are placed on the chest- the patches will have a picture of what part of the chest the patch should be placed. The AED will prompt you as to what to do. If the AED tells you that a shock is indicated, make sure no one is touching the victim before you push the button. After the shock has occurred, resume compressions on the chest. Push hard and fast, 100 compressions per minute. After 2 minutes of compressions, stop to let the AED analyze for whether another shock is needed. Continue until EMS arrives.
