High‑Quality CPR
This depth is required when performing high‑quality chest compressions on an adult.
Give answer in cm and inches
What is at least 5 cm (2 inches)?
This is the first step when an AED arrives at a cardiac arrest scene.
What is turning on the AED?
When an adult choking victim becomes unresponsive, this is the first action to take.
What is begin CPR starting with chest compressions?
This team dynamics element ensures everyone knows their role during resuscitation.
What are clear roles and responsibilities?
The correct compression‑to‑breath ratio for 1‑rescuer infant CPR.
What is 30:2?
Before beginning any medical care, a rescuer should first ensure this.
What is scene safety?
You witness an adult collapse. They are unresponsive, not breathing normally, and have no pulse. You have already called 911. This is the next action you should take.
What is begin high‑quality CPR?
This compression rate should be maintained during high‑quality CPR.
What is 100–120 compressions per minute?
After AED pads are attached, rescuers should do this next.
What is follow the AED prompts?
A responsive choking infant should receive alternating sets of these two actions.
What are 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts?
This principle allows team members to respectfully correct mistakes during CPR.
What is constructive intervention?
Chest compressions in a child should be delivered to at least this fraction of chest depth.
What is one third the depth of the chest?
This assessment must be completed before deciding to start CPR.
What is checking for normal breathing and a pulse?
A choking adult becomes unresponsive while you are performing abdominal thrusts. This action should be performed immediately.
What is start CPR beginning with chest compressions?
Allowing complete chest recoil during CPR helps the heart do this between compressions.
What is refill with blood?
Early defibrillation is important because it can do this to a lethal heart rhythm.
What is eliminate the abnormal rhythm?
When giving breaths to an unresponsive choking victim, rescuers should look for this each time the airway is opened.
What is the obstructing object?
Knowing when to ask for help reflects this team dynamics concept.
What is knowing your limitations?
This is the approximate depth (cm) for chest compressions in a child.
What is 5 cm?
Hands should be placed on this part of the chest during adult CPR.
What is the center of the chest (lower half of the sternum)?
You are performing CPR when an AED arrives. This is the first step in using the device.
What is turn on the AED?
Rescuers should switch compressor roles at approximately this interval to prevent fatigue.
What is every 2 minutes?
This special circumstance may require shaving the chest before AED pad placement.
What is a hairy chest?
These abnormal gasping sounds are not considered normal breathing and indicate cardiac arrest.
What are agonal gasps?
Any team member should do this if they see CPR quality declining.
What is speak up and intervene?
If a choking infant becomes unresponsive, rescuers should stop back slaps and begin this.
What is CPR?
This emergency resource should be activated as soon as cardiac arrest is identified.
What is the emergency response system (call 911)?
An infant is choking and becomes unresponsive. During CPR, this modification should be made before giving breaths.
What is look in the mouth for the obstructing object?
This immediately improves a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival when started quickly.
What is high‑quality CPR?
Before using an AED on someone pulled from water, the rescuer should do this.
What is wipe the chest dry?
This action should never be performed on a choking victim unless the object is clearly visible.
What is a blind finger sweep?
The team performs best when members demonstrate this toward one another.
What is mutual respect?
This must be confirmed before starting CPR on any victim.
What is unresponsiveness with no normal breathing and no pulse?
An AED can increase survival when combined with this lifesaving skill.
What is high‑quality CPR?
While performing 2‑rescuer CPR, you notice your partner is compressing too slowly. This is the most appropriate response.
What is provide constructive feedback about compression rate?
