CPR

You tap and shout to check for responsiveness, but the patient does not respond. What is your next step after calling for help?

Check for breathing and a pulse

After checking for breathing and a pulse, you find that the patient is not breathing normally but has a pulse and needs rescue breathing. What is the correct ventilation rate?

1 breath every 6 seconds, or about 10 breaths per minute

The AED detects a shockable rhythm and advises a shock. After delivering 1 shock, you and your partner immediately resume CPR by using what ratio and which compressions techniques?

15 compressions and two breaths, with the thumb circling technique

assigning your team members to individual roles and outlining what each member needs to do during the resuscitation attempt is an example of what element of high-performance team dynamics?

Clear roles and responsibilities

The infant isn't breathing normally but has a pulse, what do you need to do?

Provide rescue breathes with 1 every 2-3 seconds

Airway role

Provides ventilation

The infant isn't breathing normally but has a pulse, what do you do

Rescue breath 2-3 second

as team leader you notice that your compressor is pushing too fast. It is important to correct actions that are incorrect, but it is also important to be tactful when delivering this correction to a colleague. This is an example of what element of team dynamics?

constructive intervention

You are still performing CPR as a single rescuer. The AED detects a shockable rhythm and advises a shock. After delivering 1 shock, you immediately resume CPR with what ratio of compressions to breaths?

cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths

The child is unresponsive after you tape his shoulders and shout, "Are you OK?" She could be in cardiac arrest. What is your next step?

for 5 to 10 seconds, look for no breathing or only gasping while simultaneously checking the carotid pulse

After checking for breathing and a pulse, you verify that the child is not breathing normally but has a pulse. His airway is not obstructed. How do you deliver rescue breaths?

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

The AED detects a shockable rhythm and advises a shock. After delivering 1 shock, you and your partner immediately resume CPR by using what ratio and which compression techniques?

15 compressions 2 breaths, finger circling technique

how many back slaps and chest thrusts do you give a choking infant victim?

5/5

Compressor role

Assess patient and provide compressions

You and your team have initiated compressions and ventilation. The AED was attached, and "no shock" was advised. Your team has continued CPR for 1 minute. You tell your team in a respectful, clear, and calm voice " Leslie, during the next analysis by the AED, I want you and Justin to switch positions and I want you to perform compressions for the next cycle" Lesli replies, " Got it. Next time the AED analyzes, I will switch with Justin and assume the role of the compressor." This is an example of which element of high-performance team dynamics?

Closed-loop communication

As you are providing CPR, your colleague arrives, turns on the AED, and follows the prompts. The AED analyzes the rhythm and does not advise a shcok. After you immediately resume CPR, how do you continute treating the patient?

Continue CPR until prompted by the AED to allow a rhythm check, the code team arrives, or the patient starts to move

What action can you take as a team during and after resuscitation attempt brings awareness to system strengths and deficiencies

Debriefing

The infant is unresponsive when you tap her foot and shout "are you ok?" She could be in cardiac arrest, what is your next step?

For 5 to 10 seconds, look for no breathing or only gasping while simultaneously checking for brachial pulse

The infant is unresponsive when you tap her foot and shout, "Are you OK?" She could be in cardiac arrest. What is your next step?

For 5 to 10 seconds, look for no breathing or only gasping while simultaneously checking the brachial pulse

You check the child's pulse after 2 minutes of providing rescue breaths and cannot feel a pulse. You immediately begin CPR. After performing CPR for 2 more minutes. the child still does not have a pulse and you are still alone. What is your next step?

Get and use an AED

After 4 minutes of rescue breathing, no pulse is present during a pulse check. What immediate actions should be taken?

Immediately begin CPR and turn on the AED

Monitor/defibultor role

Operate AED, alternate w compressor after 5 cycles/2 min

You check the infant's pulse every 2 minutes and detect that the heart rate is less than 60 /min with signs of poor perfusion. While your colleague begins CPR, what action do you need to take?

power on the AED, follow the prompts, and use the child pads

After turning on the AED, you follow the prompts. You know to use child pads for infants and for children younger than 8 years, but the pediatric pads are unaviable. What should you do next?

use the adult pads
