respiratory arrest syndrome

The occurrence of respiratory arrest syndrome will affect the patient's cardiopulmonary function. The heart may even not function normally due to weakened or stopped activity, affecting people's normal breathing. It has a great impact on the human body, including stroke, drug overdose, heart attack, etc. These all need to be paid attention to, and first aid should be done in normal times to prevent this condition from happening again.

respiratory arrest syndrome

Respiratory arrest occurs when the heart (heart) and lungs (lungs) stop functioning - the heart stops beating and the person stops breathing.

There are many different factors that can lead to cardiorespiratory arrest, including:

Stroke

Overdose

Heart attack

Drowning

asphyxia

Blood loss

electric shock

Carbon monoxide poisoning

First aid for respiratory arrest

1. Quickly undress and clear out the contents of the mouth. If the tongue falls back, use forceps to pull it out.

2. The patient needs to lie in supine position with the head tilted back as far as possible.

3. Perform mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration immediately. The method is: the patient lies on his back, and the nurse lifts the patient's lower jaw with one hand to tilt his head back to relieve the airway obstruction caused by the dropped tongue and keep the airway open; with the other hand, pinch the patient's nostrils to prevent gas from escaping from the nose when blowing. The nurse then takes a deep breath and blows hard into the patient's mouth until the chest swells slightly. Afterwards, the nurse turns the head slightly to the side and immediately relaxes the hands that are pinching the nostrils, allowing the patient to breathe on his own, and repeats this process. An adult inhales 12-16 times per minute, and the exhalation time should be short, accounting for about one-third of one breathing time. If there is no response to blowing, you need to check whether the airway is open and whether the blowing is appropriate. If the patient's teeth are clenched, the caregiver can blow air from mouth to nose instead. The method is basically the same as mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.
