2 Date of CE presentation: April 2011 Topic: Patient with CHF; Using CPAP Behavioral Objectives: Upon successful completion of this module, the EMS provider will be able to: Define heart failure and congestive heart failure. Identify causes of heart failure. Identify symptoms of heart failure. Identify patterns of medical history related to the patient with heart failure. Identify current home medications typically taken by the patient with congestive heat failure. Identify the difference between the patient with congestive heart failure and pneumonia. Identify the assessment of the patient with congestive heart failure. Identify the proper procedure for assessing breath sounds. Identify treatment goals and options for congestive heart failure following Region X SOP s. Define CPAP as used by EMS for the patient with pulmonary edema. Describe how CPAP will benefit the patient with pulmonary edema. State indications, contraindications and medications used with CPAP. Describe the process of setting up the CPAP device. Describe the process of adding in-line Albuterol with CPAP. Describe patient assessment while delivery CPAP. State components to document when using CPAP. Demonstrate the set up of CPAP. Demonstrate the set-up of regular and in-line Albuterol. Demonstrate adding in-line Albuterol with CPAP. Actively participate in case scenario discussion. Successfully complete the post quiz with a score of 80% or better.

7 Case Scenario #3 Documentation Review Initial impression was acute pulmonary edema Based on physical assessment; history; recent hospitalization for CHF Treatment was routine medical care IV O2 non-rebreather- monitor CPAP started after ordered by Medical Control 2 sets of vital signs and 2 cardiac rhythm interpretations documented Initial vital signs (B/P 170/ ); cardiac rhythm sinus Second reading at the hospital; cardiac rhythm remained sinus Upon arrival patient found sitting upright, agitated, complaining of chest pain and difficulty breathing. Audible congested breathing standing next to patient. Unable to complete a full sentence. Bilateral pedal edema noted. Began oxygen via nonrebreather. IV started. Moved patient to ambulance. Medical Control contacted and ordered CPAP to be started. Patient becoming more agitated. After 5 minutes, SaO2 increasing. Patient stated breathing was becoming easier. Patient transported sitting upright. Continued CPAP during entire call. Transported patient into ED on portable O2 with CPAP continued.
