What does AED stand for?
Automated External Defibrillation
100
What does the heart do?
pumps blood throughout the blood vessels to various parts of the body by repeated, rhythmic contractions
100
What are the 3 P's of patient care?
Prevent - further injury Preserve - LIFE Promote - healing
200
What depth should your compressions be?
ADULT = at LEAST 2 inches CHILD = 1/3 the depth of the chest up to 2 inches INFANT = 1/3 the depth of the chest up to 1 1/2 inches
200
The AED will only shock abnormal electrical activity or rhythms. What are the 2 abnormal electrical rhythms called?
Ventricular Fibrillation (V/F) Ventricular Tachycardia (V/T)
200
Where are the primary electrical impulses, that result in effective contractions, generated from? Bonus - what else is it called?
The Sinoatrial node (THE S/A NODE) Bonus - Pacemaker
200
What do you do if you are alone (far from anyone and with no phone) with an infant or child that is not breathing?
Perform 2 minutes of CPR before leaving to call EMS and retrieve an AED.
300
True or False You are performing compressions and the AED arrives. You complete you 30 compressions and 2 breathes and then apply the AED.
FALSE As soon as the AED arrives you stop what you are doing and apply the AED (start AED protocol)
300
What do you do if you receive a "Motion Detected" prompt?
Ensure that no one is touching the patient and check for breathing.
300
Where does the blood get re-oxygenated?
The alveoli inside the lungs
300
You are performing CPR and then attempt to ventilate and you feel resistance when you do so. What do you do?
Readjust the airway and attempt to ventilate again. If it doesn't go in resume with compressions.
400
When is the only time you reassess ABCs during CPR?
If the victim starts to regain consciousness, starts to breathe effectively or has purposeful movement.
400
List 4 special circumstances that you have to check before using an AED and what would you do for each?
Hairy chest - shave Water/ wet environment - remove from free standing water/ dry off Conductive metal surface - if you cannot remove clear all bystanders from area, ensure proper footwear, stand and don't move feet when giving shock. Severe Hypothermia - still apply but may not shock Pregnancy - still do AED protcol Medical Patches - remove with gloves if they are in the way of the AED pads Pacemakers - place AED pads approx 1 inch away from pacemaker

What are some signs or symptoms of a heart attack?
400
A person is showing signs of distress but becomes angry when you approach and screams at you to go away and to leave them alone even though you've introduced yourself as a first-aider. What do you do? Bonus - they go unconscious. What do you do?
Stand a safe/comfortable distance away. Call 911 if you feel it's necessary (they can always refuses the ambulance attendants when they get there) Bonus - Do first aid!!!! Unconscious = applied consent :)
500
What are your options when you have 2 qualified/ trained rescuers to perform CPR?
One rescuer can perform ventilations and the other rescuer will perform compressions switching every 2 minutes to reduce fatigue OR One rescuer can perform 1 Rescuer CPR switching off with the other rescuer after 2 minutes to reduce fatigue
500
When do you turn off the AED? and why?
You DON"T until you are given instructions from EMS to do so. AED records everything you do and say. The patient may get better and then get worse again. AED pads are only good for 1 use so if you remove them you cannot put them back on.
500
Come up and draw the following heart rhythms: Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) Ventricular Tachycardia (V/T or V-TACH) Ventricular Fibrillation (V/F or V-FIB) Asystole (Flatline)

What is the difference between regurgitation and vomit? BONUS: what do we do when we see either?
Regurgitation is passive and vomit is active. Clear airway and ressume CPR from the beginning. Do not reassess!
