if there is a res of the automated external defibrillator (AED) pads touching each other, such as with a small child or infant, you should:

place one pad in the middle of the chest and the other on the back

when providing ventilations for an adult patient in cardiac arrest with an advanced airway in place

provide continuous compressions with 1 ventilations every 6 seconds

You are alone caring for a 4-month-old infant who has gone into cardiac arrest. Which is the most effective CPR technique to perform until help arrives?

standing to the side of the infant, provide chest compressions using the two-finger technique and deliver ventilations with a pocket mask or face shield

you are providing care to a victim who you suspect is having a heart attack. which of the following should you do first?

summon more advanced medical personnel

when using an automated external defibrillator (AED), which of the following should you do immediately after attaching the AED pads to the victim's chest?

You and your colleagues have been providing high-quality CPR for and using the AED on a patient in cardiac arrest. While providing ventilations, you notice movement and the patient appears to be breathing. What is the correct course of action?

Stop CPR, check for breathing and a pulse and monitor the patient until the advanced cardiac life support team takes over.

you are providing care for a patient who has an endotracheal tube in place. how does this affect compressions and ventilations?

the team should provide ventilations at a rate of 1 ventilation every 6 seconds without pausing compressions

you are providing high-quality CPR on a 6 year old patient who weighs 44 pounds. the AED arrives. It does not have a pediatric setting and includes only adult AED pads. What should you do?

use the adult AED pads

you are performing chest compressions on a 6 year old. you should be compressing the chest to what depth?

about 2 inches

after initiating CPR

when cardiac arrest occurs in children, it commonly results from ?
