The review of evidence requires you to review the video of a cardiac arrest scenario from several years ago. (https://youtu.be/chMd3jjfrmo)The BLS video provided on this page only must be used.For all the discussion you need to link specifically to the ARC guidelines (do not use resuscitation guidelines from another country) and identify the research to provide evidence to support your comments. There are many journals with research into BLS and ALS so try and use these rather than a website (although the ARC website does provide reliable information as well. Examples of journals available via the library include: Resuscitation, Chest, Heart and Lung).




The guidelines for management of cardiac arrest have changed in the intervening period,



so you are required tocompare the performance to the current best practice evidence,



analyse the video for quality of performance and identify the areas of performance that are in keeping with the evidence as well as those that are different to the evidence.





You need to analyse the video and identify practices that are in line and not in line with theARC guidelines.



Where practice is not in line with the guideline you should identify what the participants should be doing differently.


You also need to consider best practice evidence for technical and non-technical skills e.g…(communication) in emergency situations and using that evidence,




·1500 word limit +/- 10% - anything over 1650 words will not be read or marked.


·2.5cm margins on all sides of page with double spaced in 12 point Times New Roman in WORD format. You are required to comply with set work limits, deviations beyond 10% either way maybe penalised (do not count the words in your cover page and reference list but do count the words used in in-text headings and citations).


·Submitting assignment in accordance withAPA 7threferencing style for both your in-text citations and reference list



  • You must used a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed references plus the ARC guidelines. These references must be from the last 10 years with preference given to sources from the last 5 yearsand wherever possible refer to Australian resources, as this is where we are nursing.


·You must nominate which ARC guideline you are alluding to when critiquing performance and then support this discussion with detail from other research sources.



  • The library is an extensive resource and it enables you to easily source recent evidence based information. Do not use evidence from DrGoogle, Wikipaedia, Mayo clinic, webMD - these sources are designed for health consumers not health providers,any such sources will not be deemed an appropriate reference.

"It was noted the depth of compression appeared inadequate on multiple occasions. According to ARC guideline 5 (2019) depth of compression of at least 5cm is necessary to generate a cardiac output. Several studies have identified the importance of compression depth during cardiac arrest (Frank, 2015; Smyth, 2015; Simmonds, 2017; Alfonso & Sidonas, 2018). Franks (2019) study of survival from cardiac arrest found a statistically significant relationship between return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and compression depth. Those patients who had compressions of 6 cm had a greater likelihood of ROSC compared to those with a compression depth less than 5cm (p=0.01). …………………………….”

Introduction
The Cardiopulmona
ry Resuscitation (CPR) process normalize the breathing in the person who is experiencing a cardiac arrest or a drowning. There are multiple guidelines regarding the airway, breathing, circulation and then applying the CPR technique along with chest compressions. The mentioned video represents a blue code simulation by a nursing team, generated due to the event of cardiac arrest that has occurred in a patient.
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines are mandatory to be followed in the process of giving CPR, which are available on the website of Australian Resuscitation Council, 2021. A proper evidence-based practice can only be provided by a nurse in such situation if the guidelines are inculcated in their practical application. The interventions of the guideline have changed through the years. The rules and regulations are provided below.
The ARC Guidelines for Resuscitation
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) has intervened several guidelines for the best practical application of examining and applying the resuscitate techniques of the airway, breathing, circulation, CPR followed by defibrillation. If the guidelines are maintained accurately, then the chances of survival increase. The guidelines are given below:
Airway
The airway path must be examined for any obstruction and cleared immediately. This is the primary factor of consideration. As mentioned by Newell, Grier and Soar (2018), the management of the airway path during resuscitation is a preliminary support. It must be maintained continuously throughout the process of CPR. The guidelines which must be followed are:
· Allow a clear path of airway with the mouth open.
· The position of the unconscious person should be unchanged as it can cause spinal injury.
· The person must be rolled over in case of an obstruction found.
· The CPR technique must be applied only after maintaining a clear airway (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2021).
Breathing
When a cardiac arrest takes place, the breathing patterns of a person also change. To bring the person back to consciousness, the breathing cycle must be normalised. As stated by Kirby, Voss, Bird and Benger (2021), the person experiencing an arrest bust be provided with rescue breathes. The survival chances of the patient increase with the application of rescue breathes. The mentioned guidelines are:
· Regulation of the breathing through observing the chest and stomach movement.
· The ratio of compression followed should be 30:2 to rescue the breaths (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2021).
· Thirty compressions followed by two breathing is the ARC rule.
· Using the mouth-to-mouth or bag mask method of breathing can be applied for outpatients.
Circulation
The flow of blood to the heart stops when a person experiences a cardiac arrest. This affects the blood circulation in the person’s body. According to de Graaf, Donders, Beesems, Henriques and Koster (2021), the patient’s survival after an arrest depends on the Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The updated guidelines are given below:
· Chest Compression on the lower half of the sternum to bring back normal circulation
· Vigorous compression in the first 5 minutes of the process to increase the chance of survival
· The compression process must reach one third of the depth of the chest (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2021).
· More than 5-6 cm depth of compression must be followed for adults.
· 100-120 compressions must be applied per minute. 2 compressions each second. As the person revives, the number of compressions can be gradually reduced.
