BLS (Basic Life Support) for Adult / Resusitasi Jantung Paru Untuk Dewasa

Summary

This video serves as an instructional guide for effectively handling cardiac arrest situations. It outlines the steps first responders should take, from assessing danger and ensuring safety to performing life-saving techniques like CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The process includes checking the victim's response, pulse, and breathing, followed by chest compressions and, if necessary, defibrillation. Additionally, the video emphasizes the importance of continuous evaluation, coordinating with emergency medical services, and positioning the victim correctly during transport. The goal is to equip responders with the skills to manage cardiac arrest emergencies confidently and effectively.

Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure safety first by evaluating potential dangers in the environment, including traffic, electrical hazards, and other risks.
• 😀 Identify the victim's responsiveness by checking for consciousness through verbal and physical responses (e.g., eye opening, verbal recognition, pain response).
• 😀 Call emergency services (PSC 119) immediately or ask someone else to do so, ensuring help is on the way.
• 😀 Check the victim’s pulse and breathing. If no pulse is detected, begin CPR with chest compressions.
• 😀 Perform chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute, with a depth of 5-6 cm, using the rhythm of a local song like 'Ampar-Ampar Pisang'.
• 😀 If the rescuer becomes fatigued, replace them with another person to maintain continuous CPR until advanced help arrives.
• 😀 When advanced medical teams arrive, switch roles with them for CPR and check the airway for obstructions using techniques like head-tilt-chin-lift or jaw-thrust.
• 😀 If an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is available, apply the pads to the victim’s chest, follow the device instructions, and administer a shock if advised.
• 😀 Continue CPR until signs of life (pulse or breathing) are observed, or if the victim shows clear signs of death (e.g., dilated pupils).
• 😀 After 2 minutes of resuscitation, reassess the victim’s pulse and breathing, and if they’re stable, position them in the recovery position to prevent choking and maintain airway patency.

Q & A

What is the main objective of the video script?

The main objective of the video is to educate on how to quickly and accurately handle a cardiac arrest situation, especially considering the increasing number of cardiac arrest cases in Indonesia.

What is the first step a first responder should take when encountering a cardiac arrest situation?

The first step is to assess the 'Danger' by ensuring safety for both the rescuer and the victim, which involves checking the environment and making sure there are no immediate dangers like traffic, fire, or electrical hazards.

What does the 'AAA' acronym in the 'Danger' step stand for?

'AAA' stands for 'Aman Penyintas' (Safe victim), 'Aman Penolong' (Safe rescuer), and 'Aman Lingkungan' (Safe environment), which are critical factors in ensuring safety before providing help.

How should a first responder assess the responsiveness of the victim?

The responder should check if the victim responds to stimuli in three ways: 'Alert' (open eyes and is fully conscious), 'Verbal' (responds to verbal stimuli), and 'Pain' (responds to painful stimuli). If there is no response, the victim is considered unresponsive.

What should be done if the victim is unresponsive?

If the victim is unresponsive, the next step is to immediately call for emergency medical services (EMS) by dialing the nearest PSC 119 or asking someone else to make the call.

How do you check for a pulse and breathing in a victim of cardiac arrest?

To check for a pulse, place two fingers on the victim's neck (carotid artery) for 10 seconds. To check for breathing, observe chest movements, listen for breath sounds, and feel for exhaled air.

What should be done if no pulse is found in the victim?

If there is no pulse, the first responder should immediately begin chest compressions. The hands should be placed on the lower half of the victim's sternum, with compressions at a depth of 5-6 cm and a rate of 100-120 per minute.

What is the correct technique for giving chest compressions during CPR?

The correct technique involves placing the hands on the lower half of the victim's sternum, performing compressions at a depth of 5-6 cm (about a third of the chest depth), at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute, often matching the rhythm of songs like 'Ampar-Ampar Pisang' or 'Cublak-Cublak Suweng'.

When should the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) be considered?

If an AED is available, it should be used as soon as possible. Attach the pads to the victim’s chest, stop CPR to allow the AED to analyze the rhythm, and follow the device’s instructions. If the AED recommends a shock, administer it.

What should be done after two minutes of CPR if the victim is not showing signs of life?

After two minutes of CPR, reassess the victim’s pulse and breathing. If there is no pulse but breathing resumes, place the victim in the recovery position and continue to monitor them until advanced medical help arrives.
