Cardiac
arrest can strike anyone, anywhere regardless of a victim’s age or sex. No one
can predict its occurrence. There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest
per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at
work. Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical services results in only 5
to 7 percent survival. As per studies, immediate defibrillation and CPR have
shown up to 60 percent survival one year after the occurrence of a sudden
cardiac arrest.
The CPR
techniques comprises chest compressions and rescue breaths and proper
application can revive the life of a victim involved in a cardiac emergency.
Always select a certified training center for training such as the AHA
accredited CPR Cincinnati in Ohio which comprises some of the most experienced instructors
who impart training through a series of audio and video lectures and hands-on
practice. There are courses for both healthcare as well as non-healthcare
providers. Today, we are going to focus on a BLS class Cincinnati.

Programs, and all Jobs in Healthcare. This course is also known as BLS for

Causes of a sudden cardiac arrest:
Sudden
cardiac arrest occurs when ventricular fibrillation takes place or when the
heart stops beating altogether. Without medical attention, the victim
collapses, loses consciousness, becomes unresponsive, and dies. Many victims
have no prior history of heart disease and are stricken without warning.
A few of the
causes (in the workplace) include
1. Heart attack
2. Electrocution
3. Asphyxiation (loss of consciousness
and death caused by inadequate oxygen in the work environment, such as in a
confined space).
In the CPR
classes, training in how to operate an AED device for the process of
defibrillation is also imparted to the students. The process of defibrillation
involves application of an electric shock to the chest of a victim which can
revive the life of a victim by restoring the victim’s heart rhythm. The AED
devices are present in most public places like restaurants, cinema halls,
shopping malls, etc.
It is also
important for this device to be present in workplaces as one should stay
prepared in dealing with cardiac emergencies anywhere and everywhere.
1. Workers may suffer sudden cardiac
arrest while on the job.
2. Onsite AEDs save precious treatment
time and can improve survival odds because they can be used before emergency
medical services (EMS) arrive.
3. A heart rhythm in ventricular
fibrillation may only be restored to normal by an electric shock.
4. The AED is compact, lightweight,
portable, battery operated, safe, and easy to use.
