Q & A

What is a Code Blue system and when should it be activated?

A Code Blue system is activated in healthcare facilities during medical emergencies, particularly when a patient experiences cardiac or respiratory arrest. It is mandatory to activate the system to alert the emergency team and ensure prompt response.

What is Basic Life Support (BLS) and who can perform it?

Basic Life Support (BLS) is a simple first aid procedure used in cases of cardiac or respiratory arrest, performed without tools. It can be carried out by both laypeople and healthcare workers.

What are the initial steps to take when encountering an unconscious victim?

The first aider should perform hazard identification (checking for safety), assess the victim's consciousness using the AVPU method, and if there is no response, ask for help immediately.

How do you check a victim's pulse and breathing?

To check the pulse, the first aider should feel for the carotid pulse on the neck. To check for breathing, they should observe the chest's rise and fall for signs of breathing.

What should be done if there is no pulse or breathing in an unconscious victim?

If there is no pulse or breathing, the first aider should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately, performing 30 chest compressions followed by 2 ventilations for 5 cycles or 2 minutes.

When should artificial respiration be provided, and how should it be done?

Artificial respiration should be provided if the victim's medical history is known, and it should be done using the head-tilt chin-lift technique with a 5 to 6-second interval between breaths.

What is the correct way to perform CPR on an adult?

For an adult, CPR should involve 30 chest compressions followed by 2 ventilations. The chest compressions should be performed at a depth of 5 to 6 cm at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.

What are the key requirements for high-quality CPR?

Key requirements for high-quality CPR include compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute, a depth of 5 to 6 cm for adults, minimal interruptions, effective ventilation, and changing the assistant every 2 minutes.

What should be done after performing CPR for 2 minutes?

After performing CPR for 2 minutes, the first aider should check the pulse and breathing of the victim again. Based on the evaluation, further actions should be taken, such as continuing CPR or placing the victim in the recovery position.

Where are the AEDs located in Santo Boromius Hospital?

The AEDs at Santo Boromius Hospital are located at five sites: 1) semi-basement floor of the Carolus building, 2) 1st floor of the Carolus building opposite the home care room, 3) 1st floor of the Elisabeth building in front of the photocopy area, 4) 2nd floor of the Elisabeth building near the skin and venereal disease clinic, and 5) 5th floor of the Yosep building near the heart clinic.
