Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation for treatable arrhythmias remain the cornerstones of basic and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Excellent chest compressions without interruption are the key to successful CPR.
The performance of teams providing ACLS improves when there is a single designated leader and the team practices clear, closed-loop communication.
Begin properly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately for any patient with suspected cardiac arrest. Other initial interventions for ACLS include administering oxygen, establishing intravenous access, placing the patient on a cardiac and oxygen saturation monitor, and obtaining an electrocardiogram (ECG).
In adults, properly performed chest compressions take priority over ventilation during the initial period of basic life support. When ventilating the patient in cardiac arrest, give 100 percent oxygen, use low respiratory rates (approximately 8 breaths per minute), and avoid hyperventilation, which is harmful.
Infanticide – is deliberate killing of an infant within 1year of its live birth.
Neonaticide – is the deliberate killing of an infant within 24 hours of its birth.
Live birth: It means that the child showed signs of life when only part of the child was out of the mother, though the child may not have breathed or completely born.
Stillbirth: child born after 28th week of pregnancy, and which did not show any signs of life after being completely born.
