THE AUSTRALIAN RESUSCITATION COUNCIL (ARC)

The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) recommends that:• resuscitation skills including CPR be refreshed annually

• first aid skills be refreshed every three (3) years.

This is aligned with SLSA skills maintenance requirements

Page 8: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

Legal responsibilities to ensure the physical and mental health and safety of workers, including volunteers, in the workplace

Safe Work Australia developed a single set of WHS laws to be implemented across Australia. These are known as 'model' laws as legislation varies across Australia.

www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au

WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY (WHS)

Page 9: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

Legal obligation of one person to care for another in a certain way e.g., provide first aid

Workplace first aid officers have an automatic duty of care to their workers, including volunteers

A duty of care is established when you begin to provide first aid treatment as ‘a Good Samaritan’ (Civil Liability legislation)

Having a duty of care does not mean that you have an automatic duty to rescue

DUTY OF CARE

Page 10: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

Failure to provide a reasonable standard of care to

avoid causing further injury to another person

• Did the first responder owe a duty of care to the victim?

• Did the first responder breach their duty of care?

• Did the victim suffer an injury?

• Was the injury caused as a result of the breach of duty of care?

NEGLIGENCE

Page 11: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

A conscious adult can refuse or accept first aid treatment

Actual consent—the adult victim or the child’s parents/guardians give you permission to provide first aid

Implied consent—the victim is unconscious, or is a child with life-threatening injuries whose parents/guardians are not present

CONSENT

Page 12: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

TOPIC 3

Page 76: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

Suction devices help to safely remove secretions from a victim’s mouth and upper airway

They should be used only in an unconscious victim or a semiconscious victim who cannot cough or swallow

Do not use on infants (0-12 months)

Put on PPE before administering suction e.g., gloves, safety glasses

WHY USE SUCTION?

Page 77: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

Battery- (or electric-) powered

Page 78: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

COMPONENTS OF SUCTION DEVICES

There are four (4) components that are common to most suction devices:

1. Suction catheter

2. Collection jar

3. Jar cap and connection port

4. Suction device e.g., pump handle.

SLSA currently approves the use of manual suction devices only during surf lifesaving operations

Page 79: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

• Ensure that the device is clean and that all components are available

• Operate the manual suction device

• Test for suction against thumb or finger by placing it over the vacuum port

• When you are finished, turn the suction device off if electric

• Return the device to its case and original position

PRE-USE CHECKS

Page 80: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

Measure insertion length to ensure you insert the suction catheter no further than the victim’s back teeth

• Place the tip of the suction catheter at the corner of the victim’s jaw and measure it to the centre of the lips

• Mark this point with a finger

• Insert the suction catheter no further than the point marked by your finger

Page 81: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

Manual suction should be applied for only 15 seconds at a time with a break for at least 5 seconds in between operations

Powered suctioning devices should be used for only 5 seconds before a 5-second break

ADMINISTERING SUCTION

Avoid stimulating the vagus nerve in the back of the throat which can cause bradycardia (slow pulse)

Page 82: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

ADMINISTERING MANUAL SUCTION

1. Partially remove suction catheter from its sealed packaging

2. Connect it to the connection port

3. Then completely remove suction catheter from packaging

4. Measure the maximum length of insertion

5. Open the victim’s mouth

6. Insert the catheter into the lower cheek of the victim (in the lateral position)

7. Rotate the catheter within the victim’s lower cheek

8. Use the suction device repeatedly

9. Stop when collection jar is two-thirds full

10. Dispose of the catheter in the appropriate manner (as per SOPs)

Page 83: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

• Dispose of and replace single-use items

• Re-usable items can be flushed with clean, cold water and rinsed with antiseptic solution

• Ensure that all unit components are disassembled and thoroughly cleaned as per ARC guidelines

• Report and manage faults as per SOPs

Single-use items will depend upon the type and manufacturer of the suction device

WHAT IS DEFIBRILLATION?

Defibrillation is the delivery of an electrical current to the heart via the chest wall to correct an ineffective irregular heartbeat

It stops the heart to allow it to re-establish its normal rhythms

Page 88: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

The delivery of oxygen to the body can be threatened by the following cardiovascular conditions:• blood loss caused by severe bleeding (internal or external)• impaired circulation• failure of the heart to pump adequately.

THE HEART

Page 90: SLSA Advanced resuscitation techniques certificate - …secretharbourslsc.com/wp-content/uploads/ARTC-PowerPoint-v4.0-July... · Advanced Resuscitation and First aid ... •what are

ELECTRICAL ACTIONS OF THE HEART

In a normal heart, electrical impulses travel through a well-defined pathway

They synchronise the atria and ventricles to contract and relax in a coordinated motion necessary to pump blood efficiently

An AED measures the electrical activity in a victim’s heart and recognises life-threatening abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias)
