CPR study Guide

CPR

A victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse would require

90 per minute , 1

Correct compressions to ventilation rates for 2-rescuer CPR in the presence of an advanced Airway are at least , 90 per minute , 1 breath every 6 to 8 seconds

10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest

High quality CPR includes starting chest compressions with

Is in a dangerous environment

It is appropriate to move an adult victim who needs CPR when an adult victim

Create blood flow

It is important to compress to the appropriate depth during CPR to create blood flow during compressions

Make sure the sense

When the rescuer first sees a potential victim the rescuer should make sure the scene is safe

CPR, chest compressions

After the AED delivers a shock , the rescuer should immediately restart CPR beginning with chest compressions

Heart, blood,compressions

Chest recoil contributes to CPR success by allowing the heart to refill with blood between compressions

Chest rise, gastric inflation

During bag-mask ventilation, it is recommended that you give the breath just until you see the chest rise to minimize the risk of gastric inflation

Start CPR beginning with compressions

If a victim of a foreign body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive , the rescuer should send someone to activate the emergency response system immediately and

Pads/dose , attenuator

If the AED is used for a child less than 8 years of age, adult pads/dose may be used if pediatric pads/dose attenuator are not available

An open, ventilations

In 2 rescuer CPR, while the first rescuer begins chest compressions , the second rescuer should maintain an open airway and give ventilations

Bag Mask Device

Is a ventilation device/technique that is not recommended for a single rescuer to provide breaths during CPR

10 seconds

Limit interruptions in chest compressions to less than

10 seconds

The 2012 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC recommended that to identify cardiac arrest is an unresponsive victim with no breathing (or no normal breathing ), a healthcare provider should check a pulse for no more than 10 seconds

5 cycles of back slaps, followed by 5 chest thrusts

The best action to relieve severe choking in a responsive infant is

The head tilt chin lift

The best method of opening the airway of an unresponsive victim when you do not suspect cervical spine injury is

Perform abdominal thrust

The best way to relieve sever chocking in a responsive adult is

15:2

The compression-to-breath ratio for 2 rescuer child CPR is

30:2

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 1-rescuer adult CPR is

30:2

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 1-rescuer child CPR is

30:2

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 2- rescuer adult CPR is. The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 1- rescuer infant CPR is 30:2.

15:2

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer infant CPR is

One-third, 2 inches or 5 cm

The depth of chest compressions for a child victim is one- third the depth of the chest or approximately 2 inches or 5 cm

2 inches (5cm)

The depth of chest compressions for an adult victim should be at least

Turn on the AED

The first step the rescuer should perform after obtaining an AED is

2 thumb-encircling hands

The preferred chest compression technique for 2-rescuer CPR in the infants is the 2 thumb-encircling hands technique

One third, 1.5 inches (4cm)

The recommended depth of chest compressions for an infant is at least one third the depth of the chest approximately 1.5 inches (4cm). A victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse needs CPR .

at least 100 compressions per minute

The recommended rate of performing chest compressions for victims of all ages is

The chest rises visibly

The rescuer knows the rescue breath for an infant victim is effective when

The upper arm, elbow and shoulder

The rescuer should attempt to palpate the brachial pulse in an infant inside the upper arm, between the elbow and shoulder

Shock,charges,shock

The rescuer should deliver a shock with an AED after the AED advises a shock , charges, and prompts the rescuer to push the shock button

5 cycles

To reduce fatigue during team CPR, compression roles should be switched about every

Breaths, 1,3,5

When administering breaths by using a bag -mask device for a child who is not breathing but does have a pulse, the rescuer should give breaths at a rate of 1 breath every 3 to 5 seconds

Heart rate , 60 , pulse

When a child has a heart rate greater than 60 per minute and a pulse but is not breathing effectively, the rescuer should give breaths without chest compressions

Lower half of the breastbone

You should place your hands on the lower half of the breastbone to perform chest compressions on an adult
