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
