Informative Speech Outline
Hands Only CPR Begins The 80’s Back And Can Save A Life
General Purpose: To inform
Specific Purpose: After my speech my audience will be more informed about hands only CPR.
Thesis Statement: Compared to traditions CPR studies have shown that hands only CPR can help save the life of a person in cardiac arrest by keeping the perfusion to the brain.
Introduction
Attention Greeter: We all here have a love one at home or friends just imagine one your sitting at a restaurant and your love one suddenly starts to choke and falls to floor. Motionless your love one is laying there not breathing with no one around to help as you panic you dial 911. It takes the emergency response 20 minutes to arrive. Meanwhile your love is dying what could help, hands only CPR.
Preview: I would like to start by giving the statistics of CPR and sudden cardiac arrest and how the survivor rate of CPR increase with hands only of CPR, also how to perform hands only CPR with tunes of the 80’s.
(Transition: Let start by the statistics of cardiac arrest.)
Body:
I.
According to the American Heart Association about 70 percent of Americans would not know what to do in a cardiac arrest emergency. (AHA 2014)
A. Annually 383,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur in out-of-hospital care and about 88 percent of them occur in a home. (AHA 2014)
B. Many people who suffer from cardiac arrest have no history of heart problems or have risk factors that would cause a cardiac arrest.
C. Every 90 seconds cardiac arrest will claim the life of some one
1. Takes more lives then AIDS, Lung and breast cancer. (HRS 2012)
(Transition: Why should you take action in a cardiac arrest.)
II.

...nt. Why it is important to act fast to prevent brain loss and death in a cardiac arrest emergency. How to successfully deliver hands only CPR to some in need. Fast and hard compression to the tune of the Bee Gee’s song Staying Alive.
B. Creative Concluding Thought: If you ever witness a person in cardiac arrest don’t panic take action and perform hands only CPR, else if it your love one. You could save a life!

Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes. Some of the best lessons in life are learned from making a mistake. But in the healthcare world making mistakes means losing lives. This has started to happen so frequently there has been a term coined – Failure to Rescue or FTR. Failure to rescue is a situation in which a patient was starting to deteriorate and it wasn’t noticed or it wasn’t properly addressed and the patient dies. The idea is that doctors or nurses could’ve had the opportunity to save the life of the patient but because of a variety of reasons, didn’t. This paper discusses the concept of FTR, describes ways to prevent it from happening; especially in relation to strokes or cerebrovascular accidents, and discusses the nursing implications involved in all of these factors.

However, this approach not only lacks objectivity, but it also fails to acknowledge the abnormal physiology that precedes this breakdown in self-care. For instance, it has been reported that 70% of patients preceding cardio-pulmonary arrest had a physiological decline in respiratory or mental function (Schein et al 1990). Observing deterioration in activities of daily living alone does not accurately mirror underlying physiological deterioration occurring in patients.
Approximately one million Americans suffer a heart attack annually. Four hundred thousand of these victims die as a result. Many of the heart attack deaths are due to ventricular fibrillation of the heart that occurs before the victim can reach any medical assistance or the emergency room. These electrical disturbances of the heart can be treated with medications once the patient reaches the hospital. Therefore, 90% to 95% of heart attack victims who make it to the hospital survive. The 5% to 10% who later die are those who have suffered major heart muscle damage.
In addition, those potentially nearing the end of their life may be asked a DNR, or “Do Not Resuscitate,” Order. This states that in a life-threatening emergency where one is facing possible death, no actions shall be done try and “resuscitate” the individual in an attempt to restore life to the person. However, if a DNR Order is not filled out, actions including CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, h...
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), over 350,000 people experience cardiac arrest outside of hospitals every year. Every second that a heart doesn’t beat dramatically decreases a person’s survival rate. CPR is a simple way to keep blood pumping through the body until medical personnel arrive. Only 46 percent of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR, primarily because most bystanders don’t have the proper training. Fortunately, schools are in a unique position to greatly improve that statistic.
To perform CPR, first you must establish unresponsiveness. Try tapping the child and speaking loudly, to provoke a response. Once unresponsiveness has been determined, if you are alone, you should shout for help. Then provide basic life support for approximately one minute before going to call 911. If a second person arrives, send him or her to call the ambulance.

The nursing discipline embodies a whole range of skills and abilities that are aimed at maximizing one’s wellness by minimizing harm. As one of the most trusted professions, we literally are some’s last hope and last chance to thrive in life; however, in some cases we may be the last person they see on earth. Many individuals dream of slipping away in a peaceful death, but many others leave this world abruptly at unexpected times. I feel that is a crucial part to pay attention to individuals during their most critical and even for some their last moments and that is why I have peaked an interest in the critical care field. It is hard to care for someone who many others have given up on and how critical care nurses go above and beyond the call

As you sit in a classroom at the Community College, you may not think that saving a life is something you could do today, but, in fact, it's quite easy to do.
Sudden cardiac death in young athletes was first reported in 1980s and defined as cardiovascular event that occurred during physical activity or within hours of physical activity without awareness of underlying cardiac abnormalities. (Subasic p.18) As the years have gone by, sudden cardiac deaths have occurred more frequently then in the 1980s. Scientists have been researching why exactly athletes suffer from cardiac arrest, and still most scientists haven’t found a clear and direct reason on why they occur. Although initially reported in the United States in the early 1980s, the causes of sudden death in ...
