THE EFFECT OF NON-TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHOD ON NURSE'S PERFORMANCE REGARDING BASIC CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)

Abstract

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Sudden cardiac arrest is responsible for more than 60% of adult death from coronary heart disease. Cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a series of actions that may significantly increase the chance of survival following cardiac arrest. In most cardiac arrests, the critical elements of CPR are chest compressions and early defibrillation. Each situation is different depending on the rescuer, the victim and circumstances, but the key to success is early intervention. CPR is easy as C–A-B the American Heart Association just announced the 2010 CPR guidelines. Compressions push hand and fast in the center of the Victims chest airway, tilt the victim’s head back and lift the chin to open the airway breathing, give mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing. CPR in a simplified format lays focus on providing chest compressions that help in maintaining blood flow and also oxygen in the same time. As a result, blood flow is boosted and directed properly to the brain and of the concerning patient. Non- traditional teaching methods will focus on aseries of techniques and models for improving the conventional type of lecture that is generally used for teaching introductory colleges chemistry.
