My learning of CPR

What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before?
CPR Reflection:
ೃ⁀➷ One thing that stands out is the importance of proper hand placement and compression depth during CPR. It’s important to push firmly enough (approximately 2 inches deep) and at the right rate (100-120 compressions per minute), despite the widely held belief that chest compressions are only beneficial when performed properly. This guarantees that important organs, including the heart and brain, receive enough oxygen and blood flow. I may not have realized at the time how accurate the approach must be in order to have a significant impact in an emergency.
What is a key takeaway?
ೃ⁀➷ The importance of responding immediately when someone experiences cardiac arrest is among the most crucial concepts I learned during my CPR unit. The probability of survival and recovery increases with the speed at which CPR is performed. The ability to do compressions technically is important, but so is the ability to remain calm and confident under pressure. You can potentially save a life in an emergency if you have received CPR training.
How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously?
ೃ⁀➷ The nutrition unit and the CPR unit are related to overall wellness and health. Maintaining cardiovascular health is crucial for preventing heart-related problems that could result in cardiac arrest. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats, for instance, can help control blood pressure and cholesterol. Understanding how important healthy eating is can help us make better lifestyle decisions that lower our risk of heart disease, which may lessen the need for CPR.
Core competency reflection:
Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in the CPR unit. Clear communication was crucial throughout the theoretical and practical sessions to make sure I knew the proper protocols and could give the appropriate orders in an emergency. As I practiced CPR, I made careful to communicate clearly with my peers, emphasizing the significance of keeping the proper compression depth and pattern.
One area of CPR in which I’d like to spend more time learning is how to perform CPR on infants and babies. Although I am confident in my abilities to administer CPR on adults, I am aware that newborns’ delicate size and physiology necessitate the use of different approaches. To make sure I can give the best care possible, I want to learn more about the proper hand positioning, compression depth, and breath delivery technique.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I set aside some time for a little activity that gives me energy, such as deep breathing techniques, a fast walk, or listening to my favourite music. I find that these times help me relax, de-stress, and return to work with a fresh feeling of purpose and motivation.
