Project ADAM – Chapter 1 of 4: Introduction
“David, David, are you alright?”.. “Brian, I need you to go down to the office. Have them call 9-1-1. Anushka, you need to get the AED please. ”
Sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone of any age anywhere at anytime. 350,000 people in this country will be the innocent and often unknowing victims of sudden cardiac arrest this year. Will you, or someone you love be one of the victims?
“Hi, this is Mrs. Heff from Audobon middle school. 4300 South 49th street. We have a student down in the gym class…”
Noone how to recognize cardiac arrest and respond quickly in a cardiac emergency is crucial and helping to get victims of sudden cardiac arrest the best chest of survival.
….
Project ADAM – Chapter 2 of 4: Understanding Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
Notes:
Sudden cardiac arrest or SCA is the leading cause of death among Americans. Sudden cardiac arrest happens to 350,000 or more adults in the US each year and to about 500-1000 children and adolescents. In the school setting, sudden cardiac arrest could happen to a student, a coworker, a parent, or a visitor. It is important that everyone — adults in teens – learn the early warning signs and how to recognize and respond to a cardiac emergency.
There are a number of different causes of sudden cardiac arrest. They could be structural causes , they could be genetic causes or inherited causes, or finally they could be situational circumstances that impact the heart. An example of a structural defect would be if the heart itself is very thick, a condition that we call hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Some children have inherited types of heart abnormalities. An example would be congenital long QT syndrome, and in that circumstance as many as 50% of family members may also have the condition. And, sometimes situational circumstances can lead to the heart arresting. An example would be if the heart was hit by a very hard object like a baseball or or a hockey puck. That condition we call Commotio Cordis (a blow to the chest). And, sometimes the heart could be affected by medications, or by illegal drug use, especially amphetamines or cocaine — the drugs that speed the heart up, those can impact the heart. So overall there are a number of different causes of sudden cardiac arrest, and it’s important for family members and children to seek medical attention if they suspect they may have a congenital or inherited condition.
Many individuals have cardiac abnormalities that go undiagnosed. That’s why it’s so important to learn the signs and symptoms of a sudden cardiac arrest. Be suspicious if you notice fainting during exercise, unusual shortness of breath, profuse sweating, extreme fatigue or loss of muscle control, or complaints of chest pain or discomfort during exercise. Parents, teachers, athletic coaches , trainers, and ed teachers should be especially alert of these signs and symptoms.
Sudden cardiac arrest doesn’t always occur with sport. It’s often that it does because this is the most intense time, the time that the heart is working the hardest, and the time that it puts the largest strain on the heart. Some of the kids actually do have symptoms and either they don’t know it or they don’t admit to these symptoms. Some of these other defects can be detected by screening either by knowing the family history, by pediatricians and family doctors, by coaches, teachers, and being aware of the symptoms, so in those cases their can be the potential to discover them before something happens. Unfortunately, there is a large subset of the kids who we will not know about the cardiac defect until something bad does happen.
Electrical impulses in your heart trigger rhythmic contractions that circulate blood through your body. Conditions can occur that result in chaotic heart activity, known as ventricular fibrillation. When this happens, oxygenated heart stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. The victim rapidly loses consciousness. Ventricular fibrillation is the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest. The treatment for ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation, an electrical shock delivered through the heart using a device called a defibrillator or automated external defibrillator (AED). Unfortunately, some victims may not exhibit any symptoms before the sudden cardiac arrest occurs.
Not all episodes of sudden cardiac arrest are preventable because many of the kids do not have the symptoms until they’ve had the symptom of cardiac death.

Cardiac Arrest or Pulseless Arrest
Cardiac Arrest or Pulseless Arrest
Heart Attack Symptoms : Identifying Cardiac Arrest Victims
Notes on video:
How to identify cardiac arrest. As we discussed earlier, cardiac arrest is a loss of responsiveness, absence of breathing, and the absence of a pulse. If you find a person laying on the ground or sitting in their chair, that appears to be asleep, see if they can wake up. You can do that by shaking them or shouting at them. If they do not wake up, check to see if they’re breathing, and look, listen, and feel is usually what’s taught in CPR classes. Check for a pulse. You can check a pulse either on the radial pulse, or at the carotid. If you do not feel a pulse, if they’re unresponsive and not breathing, then they are in cardiac arrest.
When you have identified somebody that is in cardiac arrest, CPR needs to be started immediately. The basic chain of survival needs to be followed. You’ve already started the first two steps. First, you hav early recognition. Second, you start early CPR. Next, you need to activate the 9-1-1 system and summon help, and then, advance life support treatment can be activated on this patient.
