1740 The Paris Academy of Sciences officially recommended mouth-to- mouth resuscitation for drowning victims. 1767 The Society for the Recovery of Drowned Persons became the first organized effort to deal with sudden and unexpected death.
1891 Dr. Friedrich Maass performed the first equivocally documented chest compression in humans. 1903 Dr. George Crile reported the first successful use of external chest compressions in human resuscitation. 1904 The first American case of closed-chest cardiac massage was performed by Dr. George Crile.
1954 James Elam was the first to prove that expired air was sufficient to maintain adequate oxygenation. 1956 Peter Safar and James Elam invented mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
1957 The United States military adopted the mouth-to- mouth resuscitation method to revive unresponsive victims 1960 Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was developed. The American Heart Association started a program to acquaint physicians with close-chest cardiac resuscitation and became the forerunner of CPR training for the general public
1960: First documentation of 14 patients who survived cardiac arrest with the application of closed chest cardiac massage.

Surveyor guidance in Appendix PP was revised to clarify CPR policies for nursing homes Regulatory language is unchanged
Initiation of CPR - Prior to the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS), nursing homes must provide basic life support, including initiation of CPR, to a resident who experiences cardiac arrest (cessation of respirations and/or pulse) in accordance with that resident’s advance directives or in the absence of advance directives or a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. CPR-certified staff must be available at all times.
Facility CPR Policy - Some nursing homes have implemented facility-wide no CPR policies. Facilities must not establish and implement facility-wide no CPR policies.
Withholding and withdrawing CPR exceptions: Attempts to perform CPR would place the rescuer at risk of serious injury or mortal peril Obvious clinical signs of irreversible death (eg. Rigor mortis, dependent lividity, decapitation, transection, or decomposition) Valid, signed and dated advance directive indication no resuscitation
Termination of Resuscitative Efforts
Rigor Mortis: stiffening of the body, 1 to 7 hours after death, from hardening of the muscular tissues in consequence of the coagulation of the myosinogen and paramyosinogen, it disappears after 1 to 6 days or when decomposition begins Dependent lividity:
Dependent lividity: A purple coloration of the dependent parts, except in areas of contact pressure, appearing within one half to two hours after death, as a result of gravitational movement of blood within the vessels
Properly delivered chest compressions to create blood flow to the heart and brain. Effective chest compressions consist of using the correct rate and depth of compression and allowing for complete recoil of the chest. “Staying Alive”

Hospital vs. Nursing Home
Back board Face mask Ambu bag Suction / Yankauer set up Oxygen tank with necessary supplies Gloves AED (if available)
Where is it kept? All staff know the location Who checks the cart to ensure the proper equipment is on the cart and it works. Watch for Expiration Dates These checks need to be part of your QA Program
How does staff know??
Who does it??? Is it a frank discussion?? What terms are used: Do Not Resuscitate or Allow Natural Death
How often is the topic/status reviewed? Should be reviewed at least with each care plan meeting and with a significant change.
