CPR Basics
Before you touch the patron, this is the very first thing you check?
What is scene safety / Survey the scene
This is the target compression rate per minute for CPR.
What is 100-120 BPM
Heavy sweating, cool clammy skin, dizziness, and nausea point to this condition.
What is heat exhaustion
If you suspect a spinal injury, you should avoid doing this to the person unless scene is UNSAFE.
What is moving them
A patron's calf suddenly tightens painfully mid-workout. Gentle stretching and massage usually fix this.
What is a muscle cramp
This is the compression-to-breath ratio for a single rescuer, used for adults, children, and infants?
What is 30:2
This is the minimum compression depth for an adult.
What is at least 2 inches?
Confusion or altered mental status along with very hot skin signals this life threatening emergency.
What is heat stroke
Headache, confusion, dizziness, and memory loss after a blow to the head are signs of this injury.
What is a concussion
A patron who hasn't eaten in 8 hours is light headed, dizzy, or even nauseous due to what condition.
This is the most time you should spend checking for responsiveness and breathing.
What is no more than 10 seconds?
Rescuers should switch compressions about this often to avoid fatigue.
What is every 2 minutes
For heat exhaustion, the first step is to move the person here (think simple)
What is a cool or shaded area
For a nosebleed, the person should lean this direction while pinching the nostrils.
What is forward.
When you apply ice or a cold pack, about how long should you advise to keep it on the injury.
What is 20 minutes on 20 minutes off
Letting the chest fully rise back up between compressions is called this.
What is full chest recoil
With two rescuers on a child or infant, the ratio of compressions changes to this.
What is 15:2
Placed on the neck, armpits, or forehead, what item should be given to a patron experiencing heat exhaustion
What is a cool damp towel
Clear fluid draining from the nose or ears after a head injury signals this kind of injury.
What is a serious head injury
In the event of a small cut or scrape, you should give these two items to a patron.
What is a bandaid and Triple-Antibiotic cream
Occasional gasping in an unresponsive person isn't normal breathing. It has this name.
What is agonal breathing
This is the compression depth for an infant.
Heat stroke usually means the body's core temperature has climbed above this number.
What is 104 degrees F
After a head injury, you notice that one of these is larger than the other. That's a warning sign of a serious brain injury.
What are the pupils
A patron rolls their ankle shooting a layup. After applying a cold / ice pack, you have them raise their ankle above this level to reduce swelling.
What is heart level / height
