CPR
10 seconds
The 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC recommend that to identify cardiac arrest in an unresponsive victim with no breathing (or no normal breathing), a healthcare provider should check a pulse for no more than
immediately restart CPR, beginning with chest compressions
after the AED delivers a shock, the rescuer should
the rescuer opens the airway, seals his or her mouth over the victim's mouth, pinches the victim's nose closed, and gives 2 breaths while watching for the chest to rise
after the airway is opened, which of the following correctly states the proper technique for delivering mouth-to-mouth ventilation
10 seconds
after you identify an unresponsive victim with no breathing (or no normal breathing) and no pulse, chest compressions should be initiated within
turn on the AED
as soon as an AED becomes available, which of the following is the first step the rescuer should perform to operate the AED
compress at a rate of at least 100 per minute, 1 breath every 6 to 8 seconds
compression and ventilation rates for 2-rescuer CPR in the presence of an advanced airway
give a breath just until you see the chest rise
during bag-mask ventilation, which of the following is recommended to minimize the risk of gastric inflation
start CPR beginning with compressions
if a victim of foreign body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive, the rescuer should send someone to activate the emergency response system and immediately
both chest compressions and breaths
if an unresponsive infant is not breathing and has a heart rate of 53 beats per minute and signs of poor perfusion despite oxygenation and ventilation with a bag and mask, which of the following should you perform
maintain an open airway and give ventilations
in 2-rescuer CPR, while the first rescuer begins chest compressions, the second rescuer should
bag-mask device
not recommended for a single rescuer to provide breaths during CPR
is the preferred chest compression technique for 2-rescuer CPR
the 2 thumb-encircling hands technique for the infant
15:2
the compression-to-breaths ratio for 2-rescuer child CPR is
30:2
the compression-to-ventilation ratio for 1-rescuer adult CPR is
15:2
the compression-to-ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer infant CPR is
2 inches (5 cm)
the depth of chest compressions for an adult victim should be at least
at least one third the depth of the chest, approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm)
the recommended depth of chest compressions for an infant is
at least 100 compressions per minute
the recommended rate for performing chest compressions for victims of al ages is
the chest rises visibly
the rescuer knows the rescue breath for an infant victim is effective when
give breaths without chest compressions
when a child has a heart rate greater than 60 per minute and a pulse but is not breathing effectively, the rescuer should
give breaths at the rate fo 1 breath every 3 to 5 seconds
when administering breaths by using a bag-mask device for a child who is not breathing but does have a pulse, the rescuer should
when the rescuer first sees a potential victim
when should the rescuer initially ensure that the scene is safe
on the lower half of the breastbone
where should the hands be placed to perform chest compressions on an adult
a victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse
which of the following victims needs CPR
adequate depth of compression is needed to create blood flow during compressions
why is it important to compress to the appropriate depth during CPR
