COVID-19 UPDATE
The AHA offers CPR training that enable schools to provide safe, high-quality CPR training. During the cold and flu season, instruction may be modified, and students will not be breathing in the manikins. Rather, students will vocalize the how and when to correctly administer breaths to a person that is not breathing.
Section 1
Heart Anatomy & Physiology
Heart Anatomy & Physiology
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Understand the basic anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular systems [heart and lungs].
Understand how perfusion is impacted by heart attack and cardiac arrest. (additional slides/handout in Google Classroom)
Compare and contrast Heart Attack, Ventricular Fibrillation, and Cardiac Arrest. (handout in Google Classroom)
Student Tasks:
Read Chapter 16: Heart & Lungs and the background information on this webpage. Review supporting course content in this eZine.
Complete tasks outlined in Google Classroom posts
Review the vocabulary list
Write down questions for the instructor.
Heart & Lungs
Heart & Lungs
Your heart and lungs work as a team, providing oxygen and nutrients to your entire body. They also work to remove cellular waste from the body. In the image blow, you can see how the heart and lungs work together to perfuse the cells of the body. Perfusion is the process of getting oxygen to the cells of the body and removing waste products. Performing CPR maintains vital functions of the heart and lungs and thus increases the chance of survival.

Enrichment: Lumen Learning
Respiratory System
Respiratory System
List the structures that make up the respiratory system [limit to epiglottis, larynx, trachea, alveoli, L/R lung]
Describe how the respiratory system processes oxygen and CO2 [Diffusion]
Compare and contrast the functions of the upper respiratory tract with the lower respiratory tract. [Filter vs. Diffusion]
Cardiac Arrest vs. Heart Attack
Cardiac Arrest vs. Heart Attack
It's important to know the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest when providing care to another person. Often, tv shows and other media use these word interchangeably. They are not the same. Not all people who have a heart attack experience cardiac arrest, and thus do not need CPR. Those in cardiac arrest need CPR.
Read through the infographic. Define cardiac arrest and a heart attack. Watch the instructional video with Dr. Allen.
TASK: Download the Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest Worksheet. Fill in the venn diagram with what you have learned.
Stop here.
We will continue with this content in the next class.
Lesson 2
American Heart Association Adult CPR
American Heart Association Adult CPR
Learning Objectives:
Comprehend the adult chain of survival.
Demonstrate Adult CPR & AED use.
Tasks:
Read the CPR text [Pages 1-5, page 8, and 76-82]. Answer the review questions [pages 83-85].
Review Table 3: "Summary of High-Quality CPR Components" on page 65 of the CPR text.
Life is Why.
Life is Why.
Life is Why is a celebration of life. A simple yet powerful answer to the question of why we should all be healthy in heart and mind. It also explains why we do lifesaving work.
Throughout your student manual, you will find information that correlates what you are learning in this class module to Life is Why and the importance of cardiovascular care. I encourage you to find your why and share it with your family, friends, and classmates. Ask yourself, what are the moments, people, and experiences I live for? Why am I taking this course that teaches me to save lives? Why is cardiovascular care important to me? Do people I know have risk factors for heart disease, have a history of heart attacks, stroke, and other heart diseases? Would you want to be able to intervene if your friends and family need lifesaving interventions? This is your Why.

Please note: this video does not cover all of the components you will learn in class. This video servers as an introduction to the core components. Additional Heartsaver instruction will be provided during the in-person class sessions.
Remember - write down any questions you have for the instructor so she can answer them in class.
We will learn about: emergency Narcan administration, AED use, and Choking.
Reminder if you are absent on the skills practice days you are required to make up the class time with Dr. Allen.
Your homework is to engage with the course material and complete these tasks:

Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis
Allergic reactions are common. Most allergic reactions are mild. A severe allergic reaction involves a person's breathing and/or circulation. Anaphylaxis (an-a-fi-LAK-sis) is the most severe form of an allergic reaction and is life threatening.
A major difference between anaphylaxis and other allergic reactions is that anaphylaxis typically involves more than one system of the body. Anaphylaxis (an-a-fi-LAK-sis) is a serious allergic response that often involves swelling, hives, lowered blood pressure and in severe cases, shock. If anaphylactic shock isn't treated immediately, it can be fatal.
Symptoms usually start within 5 to 30 minutes of coming into contact with an allergen to which an individual is allergic. In some cases, however, it may take more than an hour to notice anaphylactic symptoms. Review the graphic for common signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis.
EpiPen Trainer
EpiPen Trainer
The first-line treatment for anaphylaxis is epinephrine (adrenaline). It is available by prescription in an auto-injector. There are two types - the EpiPen and the EpiPen Jr for children. They are both operated in exactly the same way.
Once epinephrine has been administered, immediately call 911 and inform the dispatcher that epinephrine was given.
Task: Watch this video on EpiPen trainers, and practice in health class.

Stroke is an interruption of blood flow to the brain. Without oxygen-rich blood, brain cells die.
