When Performing Cpr, Do You Need To Remove The Victim’s Shirt?

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:43:45 +0000

No it doesn’t have to be removed especially if there is something sticking out of the victim…but if you know there is something that may interfere with a proper jolt of the AED then you must remove it if you are using the AED before the EMT’s arrive…

What Do You Need To Determine Before Starting Cpr On A Patient, And Why Do You Need To Determine Those Things?

admin — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:04:15 +0000

I must respectfully disagree with the above.
Although it is important to eventually figure out whether or not a patient has additional injuries, when CPR is indicated, nothing else matters.
Your priorities as a first responder to an incident in the field are:
1) Insure rescuer safety. (Don’t get hurt. Don’t be a second victim.)
2) Assess for arousability. (“Are you ok!?”)
3) Establish an open airway (jaw thrust and assess for oral foriegn material). Is the person breathing spontaneously?
If not, begin rescue ventilations. (Preferably by bag valve mask, but if none is available, then by mouth to mouth with whatever barrier precautions are available.) Give 2 quick breaths and assess.
3) Check for a pulse. If signs of major injury are present, the pulse may be very rapid and very shallow. Check at major arteries.
If no pulse is present (the patient is clinically dead), then CPR is indicated as long as the responder is prepared to undertake this, and there are no obvious reasons that it would be futile.
Things are not much different in a healthcare setting, other than one can assume rescuer safety and the presence of appropriate supplies.
Your priorities are:
(Rescuer safety)
Evaluate/establish airway
Initiate ventilation
Check for pulse
If pulseless, begin CPR.
Airway, Breathing and Circulation (the ABC’s) take priority, in THAT ORDER, above all else.
Only people who have blood flow will bleed. Once flow is established, then control of major life threatening bleeding becomes part of “C”.

I Am In The Marine Dep And Need A Discharge?

admin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:02:22 +0000

First of all i want to say that i don’t WANT a discharge at this moment but theres like a 95% chance im going to get one.
The reason is that im 18, im adopted my dad is 72 years old and iv been in the DEP for 5 weeks and my dads health has been suddenly gone down and im scared for him and my family really needs me to be there.
In case your wondering my dad has a defibrillator and it went off and he almost died and my moms taking it hard and i really need to be there,
Sorry for the excess info, but the main question is, from what iv seen when you get discharged they give you a reenlistment number
1-4 one being good and 4 being very bad,
If i got discharged and told them these reasons, would i be able to reenlist? how hard would it be? and if there is one, how long would the reenlistment period be? and what number rating would i get if they do that?
I just want to be a Marine, but family comes first, please help me its greatly appreciated
