What is the respiratory arrest?

Respiratory arrests is a medical emergency characterized by a complete stop of breathing. Within minutes, the patient usually gets into cardiac pledge unless they do so immediately when he goes to the respiratory arrest. If the normal gas exchange in the lungs stops for more than five minutes, irreversible damage will be caused in the brain, and if the patient is successfully revived, permanent neurological disabilities may occur.

There are a number of reasons why someone can arrest breathing. One of the reasons is the obstruction of the airways that may occur on the upper or lower airways and can be caused by things such as allergic reactions, blood or hocks in the airways or foreign objects in the airways. Trauma can also lead to airway arrest, as well as neurological damage and muscle disorders. Another reason is overdose with drugs that slow down the respiratory system and heart rate and can cause someone to stop breathing completely.

signs of rescatcPiratory is very easy to identify. The patient often seems extremely upset, unable to speak, and can give a gesture to indicate that he has difficulty breathing. Before breathing, breathing may be strenuous or irregular and the patient may be confused or showed other symptoms of damage. Very quickly, the patient usually becomes unconscious and cyanotic, with nail beds, lips and limbs in blue.

The immediate treatment of respiratory arrest is an artificial ventilation that gets oxygen into the patient. This can come in the form of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is also designed to restart the heart. Once the patient breathes again, steps can be taken to find out why the patient arrested and treated the basic cause. In some cases, the patient may require long -term artificial ventilation because onanebo cannot breathe independently.

The severity of this medical emergency cannot be underestimated. IfD Someone stops breathing, artificial ventilation should be provided immediately through rescue breathing while emergency services are called. When calling to report respiratory or cardiac arrest, the caller should quickly state the place and clarify that the patient is not breathing. The caller will usually be asked to stay on the line until an ambulance occurs and, if necessary, will be trained through rescue breathing, CPR and other steps that can be taken to improve the patient's survival at the time when the emergency services arrive.
