CPR

start CPR beginning with chest compressions

When a victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive, the first course of action is to

to look for the obstructing object each time you open the airway

a modification incorporated when performing CPR on an unresponsive choking victim is

Begin CPR; the gasps are not normal breathing

a victim is unresponsive with gasping sounds and no pulse. your next step is to

follow the AED voice prompts

after AED pads are attached to the victim's chest and the AED detects ventricular fibrillation, the next step is to

heart to adequately refill between compressions

allowing complete chest recoil during high quality CPR is important for the

to turn it on

an adult is unresponsive, not breathing and does not have a pulse. When an AED arrives, the first step to use it would be

help restore normal cardiac rhythm

defibrillation is important to

at least one third the depth of the chest, about 2 inches

depth of compressions for a child victim during high quality CPR is

every 2 minutes

during 2-rescuer CPR, rescuers should switch positions about

30 compressions to 2 breaths

for 1- rescuer infant CPR, the compressions to breaths ratio should be

perform high quality CPR

for a victim who is unresponsive, not breathing and does not have a pulse, the most positive action for the victim's survival is to

unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse

high quality CPR is required on a victim who is

pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the chest

if you need to use an AED on someone who had been submerged in water

tell the compressor you notice decreased chest recoil

if you notice the person giving chest compressions is not allowing for complete chest recoil, you should

2 rescuers should alternate to give high-quality CPR compressions

in a team-based resuscitation attempt,

it eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm

rapid defibrillation is an important link in the adult Chain of Survival because

"knowing your limitations"

team members must know their boundaries and ask for help before a situation starts to get worse. this element of dynamics is called

compress at a depth of at least 2 inches

to ensure high-quality CPR is being performed on an adult, be sure to

observe for chest rise with breaths

to ensure you are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device

give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts

to relieve a severe airway obstruction on a responsive choking infant

perform CPR and look in the mouth for the obstructing object

to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant you should

alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes (switch every 5 cycles)

when a 3rd rescuer leaves to get the AED, the best action to support 2 rescuers CPR is

"clear roles and responsibilities"

when a team functions smoothly, all members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt. the appropriate element of team dynamics for this statement is

"you need to compress at a rate of 100-120 per minute"

when performing 2-rescuer CPR and you notice the chest compression rate id slowing, to offer constructive feedback you should say,

pads may not stick and fail to deliver a shock

when using an AED on a victim with a hairy chest, one thing to consider is that the
