Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
Every year, 475,000 people die from cardiac arrest in the United States. Big number. Bigger opportunity. With your help, we can bring that number down to zero. Why Is CPR Important? Keeping the blood flow active – even partially – extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once trained medical staff arrive on site. Learn more and/ or sign up for training at: www.attentivesafety.com/ In the US, overall survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) dropped by 14% in 2020 compared with 2019 (10.5% to 9.0%) and bystander CPR decreased by 2% (41.2% to 40.2%), according to the 2020 Annual Report presented by the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES).
COVID-19's impact on CPR practices in the US is reflected in the national dataset collected and presented in the report by CARES. The organization helps communities measure standard outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, allowing for local quality improvement and benchmarking capability to improve care and survival.

This latest guidance serves as an update to the 2020 Interim CPR guidance that AHA issued in April 2020. AHA volunteers reassessed the 2020 Interim CPR guidance considering the evolving nature of the pandemic and increased knowledge about COVID-19. Both resuscitation scientists and healthcare professionals now have a better understanding of COVID-19’s transmissibility. The supply of PPE has stabilized. And an increasing number of both healthcare workers and members of the general public are becoming vaccinated. These factors contributed to the new recommendations in the updated guidance titled, “2021 Interim Guidance to Healthcare Providers for Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support in Adults, Children, and Neonates with Suspected or Confirmed Covid-19,” which is now available in the AHA journal, Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes. AHA collaborated with the following organizations on the guidance: American Academy of Pediatrics; American Association for Respiratory Care; American College of Emergency Physicians; The Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists; and American Society of Anesthesiologists. Please note that the updated guidance doesn’t impact CPR training. What is new? The 2020 Interim Guidance covered the use of PPE, addressed early intubation, and prioritized oxygenation and ventilation strategies with lower aerosolization risk. The latest guidance includes the following changes:
Additionally, Dr. Hsu and Dr. Morgan discuss the guidance in a podcast available via the ECC Digital Digest.

Many healthcare providers are working outside their usual roles as they help treat COVID-19 patients in a challenging environment where CPR skills have become more crucial. Research published in JAMA Internal Medicine has shown that in-hospital cardiac arrest is common among severely ill COVID-19 patients, particularly older individuals, who are likely to have poor survival outcomes.

Therefore, it’s crucial that everyone refresh their CPR training and stay up to date on their CPR skills and knowledge.

These guidelines will be followed for any classroom courses held at Attentive Safety®. Included in these guidelines are: Asking any potential student to cancel their participation if they have had any known exposure to COVID-19 or if they feel ill with a cough and or fever. Attentive Safety® will screen students as they arrive for any classroom participation. Any student that demonstrates signs of illness ( cough / fever, etc ) will not be allowed to attend the course. All Instructors and Staff at Attentive Safety® are screened daily. Class registration will be limited to no more than 2 students per class to allow appropriate space between students. All manikins and training equipment will be completely disinfected prior to any class. All students, after arriving at Attentive Safety®, must wash their hands with soap and water before class. All students will wear gloves (supplied by Attentive Safety®) during all manikin practice sessions. All students will safely remove and discard all gloves used during the course.

These recommendations could very easily/quickly be changed as new information and guidelines are released. As a viable option to classroom courses for certification, please remember that the American Heart Association does have “Blended Learning”. Blended learning allows the student to take a certification course Online, and then completes a Skills check-off with an American Heart Association Instructor to complete the certification process. This is a “one on one” skills check-off and significantly reduces exposure that could be involved with larger classroom courses. The student, if successful, receives a 2 year certification from the American Heart Association. If you require current certification / recertification during the COVID-19 outbreak, Attentive Safety® will offer these options as listed above.

Interruptions of CPR and more specifically interruptions of chest compressions should be avoided whenever possible.
Responders should maintain at least a 60 percent chest compression fraction time (the proportion of time that chest compressions are being delivered during the course of a resuscitation) with a goal of 80 percent to improve outcomes. Every second matters and several strategies have been incorporated into the program to assist responders to improve their CCF percentages. Learn more in our BLS for Healthcare Provider Class. Scene size-up: Checking for severe life-threatening bleeding is now part of the initial impression within the scene size-up to provide care in a more timely manner.
Checking for responsiveness: To check for responsiveness, responders should use a "shout-tap-shout" sequence - first shouting to determine resonsiveness, then tapping the shoulder of and adult or child (or the foot of an infant) to elicit a response, and then shouting again. Primary assessment: Breathing and pulse check occur simultaneously during the primary assessment. This check should take at least 5 seconds, but no more than 10 seconds. Learn more in our BLS for Healthcare Providers Class. For patients in respiratory arrest from a suspected opioid overdose, professional responders may consider the administration of naloxone (Narcan) based upon local protocols, rules and regulations.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting consumers to Meridian Medical Technologies’ voluntary recall of 13 lots of Mylan’s EpiPen and EpiPen Jr (epinephrine injection) Auto-Injector products used for emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions. This recall is due to the potential that these devices may contain a defective part that may result in the devices’ failure to activate. The recalled product was manufactured by Meridian Medical Technologies and distributed by Mylan Specialty.
While the number of reported failures is small, EpiPen products that potentially contain a defective part are being recalled because of the potential for life-threatening risk if a severe allergic reaction goes untreated. Consumers should keep and use their current EpiPens if needed until they get a replacement. Consumers should contact Stericycle at 877-650-3494. As stated on the product label, consumers should always seek emergency medical help right away after using their EpiPens, particularly if the device did not activate. At this time, the 13 lots identified – distributed between Dec. 17, 2015, and July 1, 2016 – are the only EpiPen lots impacted by the U.S. recall. Consumers who have EpiPens from lots that are not included in this recall, do not need to replace their EpiPen prior to its expiration date. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently updated the patient instructions for epinephrine autoinjectors. The FDA recommends holding the leg firmly in place just before and during the injection. For EpiPen and EpiPen Jr injector, hold the pen in place for 3 seconds. Some other injectors may be held in place for up to 10 seconds. Be familiar with the manufacturer’s instructions for the type of injector you are using. In young children, injections of epinephrine into the thigh can result in bent or embedded needles, especially if the child is moving or uncooperative during the injection. The rationale for the shortened injection duration is that it will decrease the likelihood of injury to a moving or uncooperative child.
