EMT chp. 16 quiz (CPR)

after you identify an unresponsive victim with no breathing and no pulse chest compressions should be initiated within 25sec 10sec 30sec 60sec

10 sec

2010 AHA guidelines for CPR for ECC recommend that to identify cardiac arrest in an unresponsive victim with no breathing ahealthcare provider should check a pulse for no more than a. 25 secs b. 10 secs c. 15 secs d. 20 secs

10 secs

compression to ventilation ratio for 2 rescuer infant CPR

15 to 2

depth of chest compressions for an adult victim should be at least 1 inch 2 inch 3 inch 4inch

2 inches

compression to ventiliation ratio for 1 rescuer adult CPR is

30 to 2

compression to breaths ration for 2 rescuer child CPR is

30:2

why is it important to compress to appropriate depth during CPR adequate depth of compressions is needed to create blood flow during compressions adequate depth of compression is needed to create air flow into the lungs and adequate oxygenation adequate depth of compression is needed to stimulate spontaneous respirations

adequate depth of compressions is needed to create blood flow during compression

the recommended rate of performing chest compressions for victims of all ages is at least 40 compressions per min at least 60 compressions per min at least 80 compressions per min at least 100 compressions per min

at least 100 compressions per min

recommended depth of chest compressions for an infant is at least one fourth the depth of chest (1 inch) at least one third the depth of chest (1.5 inch) at least one half the depth of chest (2 inch) at least two thirds the depth of chest (3 inch)

at least one fourth or third (1-1.5) ???

which ventilation device is not recommened for a single rescuer to provide breaths during CPR a. bag mask device mouth to barrier mouth to mouth mouth to mask

bag mask device

if unresponsive infant is not breathing and has a heart rate of 53 per min and signs of poor perfusion despite odygenantion and ventilation with a bag and mask, which should you perform one rescue breathe every 10sec cycles of back blows and chest thrusts chest compressions without breaths both chest compressions and breaths

both chest compressions and breaths

rescuer knows the rescue breathe for an infant victim is effective when: a. stomach rises visibly b. the chest rises visibly c. child ventilation bag is completely compressed d. rescuer can hear an air leak around the mask

chest rises visibly

which options lists the correct compression to ventilation rates for 2 rescuer CPR in the presence of advanced airway compress at rate of at least 100per min 1 breathe every 6 to 8 seconds compress at rate of 60 per min 1 breathe every 6 to 8 sec compress at a rate of 100 per min 2 breaths every 5 to 10 compress at a rate of 60 per min 1 breathe every 5 to 10 sec

compress at a rate of a least 100 per min 1 breathe every 6 to 8 secs

during bag mask ventilation which of the following is recommended to minimize the risk of gastric inflation give breaths as quickly as you can give each breath over as long as you can give the largest breaths that you can give a breath just until you see the chest rise

give a breath just until you see the chest rise

when administering breaths by isng a bag mask device for a child who is not breathing but does have a pulse the rescuer should squeeze the bag as often as possible give breaths at rate of 1 breathe every 3 to 5 secs position the child o his or her stomach avoid performing a head tilt

give breaths at a rate of 1 breathe every 3 to 5 secs

when a child has a heart rate greater than 60 per minute an da pulse but is not breathing effectively the rescuer should a. give breaths with chest compressions b. give breaths without chest compressions c. give chest compressions without breaths d. connect the AED to child and analyze

give breaths without chest compression

after the AED delivers a shock the rescuer should: wait for AED to reanalyze the rhythm, immediately restart CPR beginning with chest compressions provide 2 ventilations to the victim

immediately restart CPR beginning with chest compressions

where shoud the hands be placed to perform chest compression on an adult a. on the lower half of the breastbone b in the center of the breastbone c. on the upper portion of abdomen

in the center of the breastbone

2 thumb encircling hands technique for the infant produces less blood flow than 2 finger is the preferred chest compression technique for 2 rescuer CPR is the preferred chest compression technique for 1 rescuer CPR generates less blood pressure than 2 finger technique

is preferred chest compression technique for 1 rescuer CPR

2 rescuer CPR while the first rescuer begins chest compressions the second rescuer should count compressions aloud check for a pulse during compressions do nothing until the first rescuer needs relief maintain an open airway and give ventilations

maintain an open airway and give ventilations

if victim of foreign body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive the rescuer should send someone to activate the emergency response system and immediately perform abdominal thrusts performs blind finger sweeps start CPR beginning with compressions calls the victims doctor

performs blind finger sweeps

after the airway is opened which of the following correctly states the proper technique for delivering mouth to mouth ventilations rescuer opens the airway seals his or her mouth over victims pinches nose and gives 2 breaths rescuer opens airway seals his or her mouth on victims and give several small puffs rescuer opens the airway seals his or her mouth and gives 1 slow berath rescuer opens airway puts his or her mouth on the victims mouth and gives 5 slow breaths each with a duration of 2 seconds

rescuer opens the airway seals his or her mouth over victims pinches nose and gives 2 breaths

as soon as AED becomes available which of the following is the first step the rescuer should perform to operate the AED place the AED pads on the chest deliver 2 rescuer breaths before using the AED turn on the AED complete 5 cycles of chest compression

turn on the AED

which of the following victims needs CPR victim with a pulse who is having trouble breathing victim with chest pain and indigestion victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse victim who is unresponsive but is breathing

victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse

when should the rescuer initially ensure that the scene is safe when the rescuer first sees a potential victim after the rescuer activates the emergency response system as emergency medical servces arrive on scene

when the rescuer first sees the potential victim
