Assessment and Treatment of Stroke

This video is intended to help the general public understand and identify stroke symptoms.
**A couple small corrections for this video listed below**
-The fourth type of bleed is in intracerebral, not intracaranial
-A Ischemic stroke can be caused by an embolus or plaque buildup
-T stands for time but is both a prompt to call 911 and a reminder to find out when the symptoms started

How To: Rescue Breathing/Ventilation

Providing rescue breaths is a critical skill that can save lives in the event a patient becomes apneic (stops breathing). Most of the time a patient that is apneic will also be in cardiac arrest and two rescue breaths will be given after every thirty compressions during CPR; however, occasionally a patient will become apneic and still have a pulse in which case one rescue breath should be given every six seconds. Each breath should be given over approximately one second and should be just enough to see the chest rise gently.

Mouth to mouth has a high degree of risk from disease so rescuers should look at getting some kind of barrier device to keep themselves safe. The products shown in this video are listed below:
Face shield


Pocket mask


Pocket BVM
