1 breath every 2 or 3 seconds, or about 20 to 30 breaths per minute

AED Special consideration: Hairy chest

- if your AED has 1 set of pads and a razor, quickly shave the area and then apply the pads - if your AED has 2 sets of pads, use the first set to remove the hair. Apply the first set of pads, press them down so they can stick as much as possible, and quickly pull them off. Then apply the new, second set of pads

Mouth-to-mouth breaths for adults, children and infants

- Mouth-to-mouth breathing is a quick and effective way to provide oxygen to a victim when a barrier mask is not available - each breath you take contains 21% oxygen. When you provide a rescue breath, the air your breathe into a victim contains about 17% oxygen.

AED Special consideration: defibrillation for infants less than 1 year of age

- a manual defibrillator is preferred rather than AED - if a manual defibrillator is not available, an AED with a pediatric dose attenuator is preferred - if neither is available, you may use an AED without pediatric dose attenuator

- give rescue breaths every 2 to 3 seconds (20 to 30 breaths per minute) - assess pulse rate for no more than 10 seconds

choking: unresponsive adults or children

- if a choking victim becomes unresponsive, send someone to activate the emergency responsive system - lower the victim to the ground - perform CPR with 1 exception: each time you open the airway to give breaths, look for the obstructing object - if you see an object that can be easily removed, carefully remove with your fingers. DO NOT do a blind finger sweep

what is recommended to minimize interruptions in compressions when using an AED?

- if no. shock is advised and after any shock delivery, immediately resume high-quality CPR, starting with chest compressions - when 2 or more rescuers are present, one rescuer should continue chest compressions while the other prepares the AED - continue with high quality CPR until an AED prompts to clear

AED Special consideration: Water

- if someone is lying in water, quickly move the victim to a dry area - if the victim is lying in snow or a small puddle, use the AED - if the chest is covered with water or sweat, wipe the chest before attaching the pads

witness collapse: children and infants

- if you are alone with no mobile phone, leave the victim to activate the emergency response system and get the AED before beginning CPR. Use the AED as soon as it is available - if you are not alone, send someone to get the AED and begin CPR immediately. Use the AED as soon as it is available.

unwitnessed collapse: children and infants

- if you are. lone, start CPR with cycles of 30:2 - if you are not alone, send someone to get the AED and begin CPR immediately. Use the AED as soon as it is available - after about 2 minutes, if you are still alone, activate the emergency response system and get an AED if not already done - use the AED as soon as it is available

AED pad placement: infants and children less than 8 years of age - pad choice

- if your AED includes smaller-sized pads that are. designed for children under 8 years of age, use them - if not, use the adult pads while making sure that they do not touch or overlap - do not use the child pads for an adult. the shock dose is too small for an adult

what are common administration routes for naloxone?

- intramuscular - intranasal - intravenous

minimizing interruptions while using an AED: when 2 or more rescuers are present
