How to give first aid to the elderly with sudden cardiac death?

Sudden cardiac death occurs. In addition to calling 120 for help in real time, the people around the patient should also understand the accurate rescue method, so the patient will have the hope of "rejuvenation". The accurate rescue step is cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There are three basic steps: airway passage, artificial respiration and artificial reincarnation.

Stop artificial respiration, maintain the respiratory function of patients, ensure the aerobic metabolism of important organs of the body, especially the brain, protect the function of respiratory center, and avoid brain edema. The rescue of artificial reincarnation mainly includes three aspects: external chest compression, direct current defibrillation, intravenous or intracardiac injection of drugs.

To reduce the occurrence of rib fracture, both arms should be curled up when pressing, and the force should be stable and average. The pressure should be large enough, and the sternum should be lowered by 3-5 cm, then suddenly grasp, press at the speed of 60-70 times / min, and continue to press continuously, so as to stop smoking and limit alcohol. The incidence of sudden death of smokers is more than 4 times higher than that of non-smokers, and the incidence of sudden death is directly proportional to the number of smokers every day
