Examples of effective team dynamics are:

Debriefing Knowledge sharing Clear roles and responsibilities Constructive intervention

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

During CPR on a child, you should place 1 or 2 hands over the _____________ of the _______________

Lower half, breastbone

How can you achieve a high chest compression fraction?

Minimize pauses in chest compressions

Monitor/Defibrillator

How is CPR performed differently when an advanced airway is in place?

No pauses for compressions

What is the preferred method for a pulse check in an infant?

Place 2 or 3 fingers on the inside of the upper arm, midway between the infant's elbow and shoulder

A bag-mask device is used to provide ___________________________ to a victim who is not breathing or not breathing normally

Positive-pressure ventilation

You check the infants pulse every 2 minutes and detect that the heart rate is less than 60/minute 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.

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

Provide rescue breaths, with 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds

Which team role makes treatment decisions and assigns roles?

Team Leader

When performing chest compressions for an infant in a 2-rescuer situation, you should put 2 _________ in the center of the chest, on the lower half of the breastbone

Thumbs

Which team role keeps track of interruptions during compressions?

Timer/Recorder

Why is an AED needed?

To analyze the heart rhythm and provide a shock

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 unavailable. What should you do?

Use the adult pads

Two life-threatening arrhythmias that can cause cardiac arrest are pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ______________________

Ventricular Fibrillation

What are the correct actions to take for scene safety and assessment?

Verify scene safety Check for responsiveness Activate the emergency response system and get an AED Look for no breathing and only gasping and check pulse

What is the indication for mouth to moth rescue breaths?

When a barrier device is not available

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 to 3 seconds, or about 20 to 30 breaths per minute

When providing rescue breaths to a child or infant, you should give

1 breath every 2-3 seconds

Rescue breaths to an adult victim:

1 breath every 6 seconds

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

How are breaths delivered using a bag-mask device?

1 breath over 1 second, while watching for chest rise.

Recommended compression to ventilation ratios for infants and children?

1 rescuer = 30:2 2 or more = 15:2

Where should AED pads be placed in the anterolateral placement for adults and children 8 years and older?

Below the right collarbone Side of left nipple

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

As indicated on the pad packages

What are the components of a pulse check in an unresponsive victim?

Assess for a pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds Use 2 or 3 fingers to locate the pulse Feel the pulse in the groove to the side of the trachea

When using a pocket mask, where should the rescuer be positioned

At the side of the victim

You and your colleague respond to an adult victim who is unresponsive. After assessing that the victim is not breathing and has no pulse, what do you instruct your colleague to do?

Activate the emergency response system and get the AED

Team Roles: Provides ventilation?

Airway
