What is the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver
What are the first two steps when using the AED?
What is TURN IT ON, WAIT, and LISTEN for prompts.
What phase is the AED in when it is reading the electrical activity to determine if a shock is needed and advises the responder to not touch the patient?
What is the analyse phase.
What patient are the electrode pads placed on the center of the chest and between the shoulder blades?
What is child/ infant pad positioning.
State the shockable Rhythms.
What is pulseless Vetricular tachycardia (Pulseless VTach) and Ventricular (Vfib)
What is compression Depth for an adult and how should the responders hands be fixed during compressions.
What is 2-2.5 inches or 5cm.
1st hand heel to chest and 2nd hand heel to 1st hand and interlocked fingers with body directly over hands at the nipple line.
What prompt is given by the Defibrillator that results in the nurse's action of ensuring the electrode cord is still plugged into the AED, wires are not kinked and both electrode pads are adhering to the patient chest?
What is the check electrode prompt.
If an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) advises a shock, you should do this immediately after the shock is delivered.
What is resume CPR, starting with chest compressions.
The ___________ button increases or decreases the lead size depicted on the Zoll monitor, whereas the __________ button allows you to change leads. Holding down the ____________ button allows you to print an ECG strip whereas pressing and holding the ___________ button allows you to view the patient's normal heart rate during pacing( it is advised that this button should not be held down long as it causes the patient to become symptomatic).
What is size,lead, recorder, 4:1 ratio button.
What mode would the ZOLL R Series be in to deliver a shock?
The depth of chest compressions for infant CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is generally recommended to be about....
____________ __________ are used to perform the compressions on an infant.
What is 1.5 inches (4 cm) and 2 fingers just below the nipple line.
If an AED is used on a child under the age of 8 and pediatric pads are unavailable, you should do this when applying the adult pads.
What is apply the pads to the front and back of the child's chest, ensuring they do not touch
What is the correct pad placement for an adult?
Pads should be placed on the upper right side of the chest, and the other on the lower left.
State where each color of the electrode would be placed on the patient's chest.
What is White-Placed on the right shoulder or near the right clavicle (collarbone), just below the shoulder.
BLACK- Placed on the left shoulder or near the left clavicle (collarbone), just below the shoulder.
RED- Placed on the left lower abdomen or left side of the torso.
Remember white is right and smoke is always over fire.
This type of shock delivered by the ZOLL R Series is aimed at restoring a normal heart rhythm by "resetting" the heart's electrical activity, but only works on certain types of arrhythmias.
What is cardioversion
This is the total amount of time (in minutes) during which CPR and defibrillation should be initiated to have the highest chance of survival from a sudden cardiac arrest.
What is within the first 3 to 5 minutes?
The chances of survival decrease by this percentage for every minute that passes without defibrillation during a cardiac arrest.
What is 10%
When performing CPR on a child or infant with an AED present, this specific sequence should be followed regarding chest compressions and ventilation.
What is 5 cycles of CPR (about 2 minutes) before using the AED
