Resuscitation

From inhalation at pressures above atmospheric, used in tunnelling or diving, or from breathing apparatus or resuscitation equipment, if the pressure is too high or exposure is prolonged. This may cause symptoms from pain to dyspnoea, disorientation and unconsciousness it may be fatal. 

First aid (equipment, materials, trained personnel) and resuscitation... 

It should also be noted that mouth to mouth breathing should be avoided. It is possible for the rescuer to become contaminated via ingestion, inhalation or absorption while administering mouth to mouth resuscitation. A bag valve mask or positive pressure oxygen unit should be used to ventilate the victim. 

Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment Chemical gloves and eye protection organic vapor canister or self-contained breathing apparatus Symptoms Following Exposure Inhalation of moderate concentrations causes dizziness, drowsiness, and unconsciousness. Contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation the liquid may cause frostbite General Treatment for Exposure INHALATION remove victim to fresh air and apply resuscitation call a physician promptly if victim is unconscious. EYES if irritated, wash with water. SKIN if irritated, wash with soap and water Toxicity by Inhalation (ThresholdUmit Value) 1000 ppm (8 hr) Short-Term Inhalation Limits Data not available Toxicity by Ingestion Not pertinent Late Toxicity None Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics Vapors are non-irritating to eyes and throat Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics No appreciable hazard. Practically harmless to the skin because it is very volatile and evaporates quickly. May cause frostbite Odor Threshold Data not available. 

Dizziness, 1 of reasoning and balance. Breathing problems in a few minutes. Victims need prompt artil resuscitation. 

Unconscious quickly. Bre will stop and deaths will i F not rescued promptly. An resuscitation is needed. 

Unconsciousness at once. Permanent brain damage or death may result unless rescued promptly and given artificial resuscitation. 

Applications in agrochemicals [42, 43], pharmaceuticals [44,45], and positron emission tomography (PET) [46, 47, 48 49] have resulted in the resuscitation of the Wallach reaction The Wallach technique provides high-specific-activity F-radiolabeled aromatic fluoride for PET studies, in contrast to the low-specific-ac-tivity product by the Balz-Schiemann route... 

Exposure to carbon monoxide resulting from inadequate ventilation and/or leakage of combustion products may cause headaches, chronic tiredness or muscular weakness. High concentrations or long-term exposure may be fatal. Normal resuscitation methods and medical advice should be sought for those suffering from these effects.

BARBITURATES. The barbiturate phenobarbital (Luminal) is commonly used to treat convulsive disorders. When administering the barbiturates by the intravenous (IV) route, it is important not to exceed a rate of 60 mg/min and to administer the drug within 30 minutes of preparation. The nurse monitors the patient carefully during administration of a barbiturate. The blood pressure and respirations are taken frequently. Resuscitation equipment and artificial ventilation equipment are kept nearby. 

Protamine sulfate can result in severe hypotension and anaphylactic reaction. When administering protamine sulfate, the nurse should make sure that resuscitation equipment is readily available. 

The nurse must continually assess the patient for anaphylactic reactions (difficulty breathing, wheezing, fever, swelling around the eyes, hives, or itching) particularly with anistreplase or streptokinase Resuscitation equipment is immediately available... 

Bicarbonate is no longer used as the first line treatment during cardiopulmonary resuscitation following cardiac arrest. Recent evidence suggests little benefit, and the drug may actually be detrimental to resuscitation. According to the American Heart Association, bicarbonate is used when all other treatment options have failed.
