CARDIAC ARREST :CARDIAC ARREST


Cardiac arrest :Cardiac arrest Also called: Cardiopulmonary Arrest, Massive Heart Attack, Sudden Cardiac Arrest, Heart Arrest, Heart Seizure Cardiac arrest refers to a sudden, profound disturbance in the heart’s rhythm that causes the heart to stop beating completely or slow to the point where the life is unsustainable. Cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack.


Slide 3:Cardiac arrest must be treated immediately to avoid sudden cardiac death (death that results from cardiac arrest). Unfortunately, most people (85 percent) who experience cardiac arrest cannot get help fast enough. Cardiac arrest is most often caused by ventricular fibrillation, a condition in which the heart’s lower chambers quiver rather than pump blood. Cardiac arrest


Slide 4:It is estimated that about 330,000 Americans die every year due to cardiac arrest. The overwhelming majority of these are caused by ventricular fibrillation. Michael Jackson died after suffering from what news reports indicate was a "cardiac arrest." Cardiac arrest


Slide 5:A cardiac arrest, in contrast, is caused by a sudden heart arrhythmia called ventricular fibrillation. In ventricular fibrillation, the electrical signals within the heart suddenly become completely chaotic. Because these electrical signals control the timing and the organization of the heartbeat, when those signals degenerate to total chaos, the heart suddenly stops beating. That is, it goes into "cardiac arrest." The most common outcome of a cardiac arrest is sudden death. Cardiac arrest


Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) :Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. When this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. SCA usually causes death if it's not treated within minutes. Ninety-five percent of people who have SCA die from it—most within minutes. Rapid treatment of SCA with a defibrillator can be lifesaving. A defibrillator is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart to try to restore its normal rhythm.


Slide 7:The treatment for a cardiac arrest is to begin immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to support the victim's circulation, and, as soon as possible, to deliver a large electrical shock to the heart with a device called a "defibrillator.“ The large shock allows the heart's electrical signal to re-organize itself, and the heart starts beating again. Unfortunately, because death occurs within a few minutes of cardiac arrest unless expert help is available, the large majority of individuals who suffer cardiac arrest are not successfully resuscitated.

OBE :OBE As much as 10 percent of the population may at some point have an OBE An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE), is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside of one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a place outside one's body. One in ten people has an out-of-body experience at some time in their lives.
