Sudden cardiac arrest is also the leading cause of death in young athletes.<\/p>\n<p>As we head into the summer months, it\u2019s important to know that hot, humid weather can place stress on the heart. Your body has to work harder to keep its core temperature at normal levels, placing extra strain on your heart, lungs, and kidneys. You can be at even greater risk if you have a heart condition.<\/p>\n<p>Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate intervention. That&#8217;s why it is important for everyone to know the basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing these skills can empower individuals to react quickly and provide lifesaving assistance to those experiencing cardiac arrest,\u201d says Michael Riley, Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/center-resuscitation-education-and-community-engagement\">Center for Resuscitation Education and Community Engagement<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cBy jumping into action, you can double or triple a person\u2019s chances of survival.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Significance of CPR<\/h3>\n<p>When sudden cardiac arrest occurs, every second counts. If you suspect someone is having a cardiac event, call 911 immediately. Since the national average for ambulance response time is approximately 8 to 10 minutes, bystanders who witness a cardiac arrest have a unique opportunity to provide assistance before professional medical help arrives by performing CPR.<\/p>\n<p>Providing CPR doesn\u2019t mean you must use mouth-to-mouth breathing. Hands-only CPR, which means giving continuous chest compressions without rescue breaths, can be just as effective as conventional CPR when given in the first few minutes of a cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring CPR, you should push hard on the chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute,\u201d Riley says. \u201cThe beat of the classic disco song \u2018Stayin\u2019 Alive\u2019 is a perfect match for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riley offers these tips for performing hands-only CPR:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Place the palm of one hand directly on the center of the person\u2019s chest, place your other hand on top of it, and lock your fingers together. Then lock your elbows to keep your arms straight, and press straight down on the chest, going at least two inches down with each compression.<\/li>\n<li>The chest needs to recoil fully between compressions, so you will need to take your full weight off the victim between compressions.\u00a0Complete chest recoil is essential because it allows the chest to fully expand, which creates negative pressure that pulls blood back into the chest and cardiac tissues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>The Role of AEDs<\/h3>\n<p>AEDs are portable devices that deliver a controlled electric shock to restore the heart\u2019s rhythm during cardiac arrest. AEDs are designed to be easily accessible in public spaces, workplaces, and fitness facilities. They are often located in visible and easily accessible areas, such as near entrances, reception desks, or security stations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best thing about AEDs is that you don&#8217;t need any formal training to use them,\u201d Riley says. \u201cAll you have to do is turn it on and follow the prompts. The machine talks to you and walks you through each step to provide lifesaving care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that although AEDs are becoming more common in public spaces, their availability can vary by location. Some AEDs are stored in visible cabinets with clear signage, and others may be accessible on request from staff members or security personnel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you frequent a gym, swim club, or school and don\u2019t see an AED sign, ask someone if they have one and where it\u2019s stored,\u201d Riley advises. \u201cThere are also apps and websites such as AED Locator or PulsePoint that provide real-time information on the locations of registered AEDs in certain areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Training Professionals and the Public<\/h3>\n<p>The Cooper Center for Resuscitation Education and Community Engagement certifies nearly 4,000 health care professionals each year in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Basic Life Support (BLS), and AHA instructor courses. The center also provides education and skills sessions related to CPR, AED use, and first aid to the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy equipping communities with these essential skills, we can create a network of potential first responders,\u201d Riley says. \u201cAt Cooper, we strive to educate and empower individuals to provide immediate assistance and increase the chances of survival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cooper Center for Resuscitation Education and Community Engagement offers free courses to community groups that provide hands-on skills to practice CPR and AED use. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/center-resuscitation-education-and-community-engagement\/community-engagement\">Click here<\/a> to learn more and complete a <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/apps\/community-engagement-request-form\/?_ga=2.74299537.265471918.1687286482-1764411118.1661880810&amp;_gac=1.262468990.1686764714.Cj0KCQjwnbmaBhD-ARIsAGTPcfWnyYy3g-wO0F1EkxWbaDuZJGfgTvgolvQnk1MTxrAvTFDDcfai-WQaAmwxEALw_wcB&amp;_gl=1*yawg43*_ga*MTc2NDQxMTExOC4xNjYxODgwODEw*_ga_Q7FC98J25G*MTY4NzM1ODc3NC4yNzYuMS4xNjg3MzU5MDQxLjAuMC4w\">request form<\/a> to schedule an event in your community.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Ultimate Life Hack: Habilidades de CPR y AED<\/h2>\n<p>Casi 1000 personas mueren cada d\u00eda por un paro card\u00edaco fuera del hospital en los EE. UU. Eso es 350 000 personas cada a\u00f1o y solo el 10 % sobrevive. El paro card\u00edaco repentino es tambi\u00e9n la principal causa de muerte en los atletas j\u00f3venes.<\/p>\n<p>A medida que nos acercamos a los meses de verano, es importante saber que el clima c\u00e1lido y h\u00famedo puede causar estr\u00e9s en el coraz\u00f3n. Su cuerpo tiene que trabajar m\u00e1s para mantener su temperatura central en niveles normales, ejerciendo una presi\u00f3n adicional sobre su coraz\u00f3n, pulmones y ri\u00f1ones. Puede correr un riesgo a\u00fan mayor si tiene una afecci\u00f3n card\u00edaca.<\/p>\n<p>El paro card\u00edaco es una emergencia potencialmente mortal que requiere una intervenci\u00f3n inmediata. Es importante que todos conozcan los conceptos b\u00e1sicos de la reanimaci\u00f3n cardiopulmonar (RCP) y el uso del desfibrilador externo autom\u00e1tico (DEA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConocer estas habilidades puede empoderar a las personas para que reaccionen r\u00e1pidamente y brinden asistencia vital a quienes sufren un paro card\u00edaco\u201d, dice Michael Riley, director del <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/center-resuscitation-education-and-community-engagement\">Centro de educaci\u00f3n sobre reanimaci\u00f3n y participaci\u00f3n comunitaria<\/a> en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cAl entrar en acci\u00f3n, puedes duplicar o triplicar las posibilidades de supervivencia de una persona\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La importancia de la RCP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cuando ocurre un paro card\u00edaco repentino, cada segundo cuenta. Si sospecha que alguien est\u00e1 teniendo un evento card\u00edaco, llame al 911 de inmediato. Pero debido a que el promedio nacional para el tiempo de respuesta de la ambulancia es de aproximadamente 8 a 10 minutos, los transe\u00fantes que presencian un paro card\u00edaco tienen una oportunidad \u00fanica de brindar asistencia antes de que llegue la ayuda m\u00e9dica profesional mediante la realizaci\u00f3n de RCP.<\/p>\n<p>Proporcionar RCP no significa que deba usar la respiraci\u00f3n boca a boca. La RCP solo con las manos, lo que significa dar compresiones tor\u00e1cicas continuas sin respiraciones de rescate, puede ser tan eficaz como la RCP convencional cuando se administra en los primeros minutos de un paro card\u00edaco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDurante la RCP, debe presionar con fuerza el pecho a una velocidad de 100 a 120 compresiones por minuto\u201d, dice Riley. &#8220;El ritmo de la cl\u00e1sica canci\u00f3n disco &#8216;Stayin&#8217; Alive&#8217; es una combinaci\u00f3n perfecta para esto&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Riley ofrece estos consejos para realizar RCP solo con las manos:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Coloque la palma de una mano directamente en el centro del pecho de la persona, coloque la otra mano encima y junte los dedos. Luego bloquee los codos para mantener los brazos rectos y presione directamente hacia abajo sobre el pecho, bajando al menos dos pulgadas con cada compresi\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>El t\u00f3rax debe retroceder por completo entre las compresiones, por lo que deber\u00e1 quitar todo su peso de encima de la v\u00edctima entre las compresiones. El retroceso completo del t\u00f3rax es esencial porque permite que el t\u00f3rax se expanda por completo, lo que crea una presi\u00f3n negativa que atrae la sangre hacia el t\u00f3rax y los tejidos card\u00edacos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>El papel de los DEA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Los DEA son dispositivos port\u00e1tiles que administran una descarga el\u00e9ctrica controlada para restablecer el ritmo card\u00edaco durante un paro card\u00edaco. Los DEA est\u00e1n dise\u00f1ados para ser f\u00e1cilmente accesibles en espacios p\u00fablicos, lugares de trabajo e instalaciones deportivas. Suelen estar ubicados en \u00e1reas visibles y de f\u00e1cil acceso, como cerca de entradas, mostradores de recepci\u00f3n o estaciones de seguridad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLo mejor de los DEA es que no necesita ning\u00fan entrenamiento formal para usarlos\u201d, dice Riley. \u201cTodo lo que tienes que hacer es encenderlo y seguir las indicaciones. La m\u00e1quina habla con usted y lo gu\u00eda a trav\u00e9s de cada paso para brindarle atenci\u00f3n vital\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n es importante tener en cuenta que, aunque los DEA son cada vez m\u00e1s comunes en los espacios p\u00fablicos, su disponibilidad puede variar seg\u00fan la ubicaci\u00f3n. Algunos DEA se almacenan en gabinetes visibles con se\u00f1alizaci\u00f3n clara, y otros pueden ser accesibles a pedido de los miembros del personal o del personal de seguridad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSi frecuenta un gimnasio, un club de nataci\u00f3n o una escuela y no ve un letrero de DEA, preg\u00fantele a alguien si tiene uno y d\u00f3nde est\u00e1 guardado\u201d, aconseja Riley. \u201cTambi\u00e9n hay aplicaciones y sitios web como AED Locator o PulsePoint que brindan informaci\u00f3n en tiempo real sobre las ubicaciones de los DEA registrados en ciertas \u00e1reas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Formaci\u00f3n de profesionales y p\u00fablico<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El Cooper Center for Resuscitation Education and Community Engagement certifica a casi 4000 profesionales de la salud cada a\u00f1o en cursos de soporte vital card\u00edaco avanzado (ACLS), soporte vital avanzado pedi\u00e1trico (PALS), soporte vital b\u00e1sico (BLS) y cursos de instructor de la AHA. El centro tambi\u00e9n ofrece sesiones de educaci\u00f3n y habilidades relacionadas con RCP, uso de AED y primeros auxilios para la comunidad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAl equipar a las comunidades con estas habilidades esenciales, podemos crear una red de socorristas potenciales\u201d, dice Riley. \u201cEn Cooper, nos esforzamos por educar y capacitar a las personas para que brinden asistencia inmediata y aumenten las posibilidades de supervivencia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El Cooper Center for Resuscitation Education and Community Engagement ofrece cursos gratuitos para grupos comunitarios que brindan habilidades pr\u00e1cticas para practicar la RCP y el uso de DEA.
