Compression
Chest compression depth should be:
1/3 the depth of the chest
The rate of rescue breaths for an adult
1 breath every 6 seconds
Immediately after an AED delivers a shock, the rescuer should:
Resume CPR, starting with chest compressions
For the two-finger chest compression technique, the two fingers should be placed:
Center of the chest, just below the nipple line
First step when arriving to the scene of an emergency
Make sure the scene is safe
To achieve a high chest compression fraction
Minimize pauses in chest compressions
True or False
Bag mask ventilation is required for single rescuer
False, bag mask is not required to ventilate during single rescuer
The rescuer(s) operating an AED should clear the victim:
During analysis and during shock delivery
Pulse check site for infant <1 year of age
Brachial Artery
Method used to open airway when no signs of neck injury
Head tilt, chin lift
Universal compression rate for all cardiac arrest victims:
100-120/min
When advanced airways are in place, the ventilation rate for an adult:
1 breath every 6 seconds
AED is an acronym for:
Automated External Defibrillator
The compression to ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer CPR in infants <1 year of age
15 compressions, 2 breaths
Common administration routes for naloxone
Intravenous, Intranasal, and Intramuscular
The recommended CCF percentage
>80%
Gastric inflation occurs when:
Giving excessive ventilation
The anteroposterior placement of AED pads for adults:
Right side of the chest and Left side of the back
The rate of rescue breaths for an infant
1 breath every 2-3 seconds
The age to be considered an infant and a child
Infant - birth to 1 year
Child - 1 year to puberty
While performing CPR, pauses usually occur (5 answers)
Compressor Switches, Pulse Checks, Rhythm Analysis, Defibrillation, Intubation
Advanced airways in CPR include:
Endotracheal tubes, Combitubes, and LMA's
Consider the use of an AED if the patient is in water, near combustible material, has a pacemaker, medicine patch, and/or:
A hairy chest
True or False
Back blows and abdominal thrusts are used to relieve choking in infants <1 year of age
False, Chest thrusts are used
Released in 1977, this song by the Bee Gees is used to help time compressions (MUST sing it)
