CPR study Guide
CPR
A victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse would require
90 per minute , 1
Correct compressions to ventilation rates for 2-rescuer CPR in the presence of an advanced Airway are at least , 90 per minute , 1 breath every 6 to 8 seconds
10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest
High quality CPR includes starting chest compressions with
Is in a dangerous environment
It is appropriate to move an adult victim who needs CPR when an adult victim
Create blood flow
It is important to compress to the appropriate depth during CPR to create blood flow during compressions
Make sure the sense
When the rescuer first sees a potential victim the rescuer should make sure the scene is safe
CPR, chest compressions
After the AED delivers a shock , the rescuer should immediately restart CPR beginning with chest compressions
Heart, blood,compressions
Chest recoil contributes to CPR success by allowing the heart to refill with blood between compressions
Chest rise, gastric inflation
During bag-mask ventilation, it is recommended that you give the breath just until you see the chest rise to minimize the risk of gastric inflation
Start CPR beginning with compressions
If a victim of a foreign body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive , the rescuer should send someone to activate the emergency response system immediately and
Pads/dose , attenuator
If the AED is used for a child less than 8 years of age, adult pads/dose may be used if pediatric pads/dose attenuator are not available
An open, ventilations
In 2 rescuer CPR, while the first rescuer begins chest compressions , the second rescuer should maintain an open airway and give ventilations
Bag Mask Device
Is a ventilation device/technique that is not recommended for a single rescuer to provide breaths during CPR
10 seconds
Limit interruptions in chest compressions to less than
10 seconds
The 2012 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC recommended that to identify cardiac arrest is an unresponsive victim with no breathing (or no normal breathing ), a healthcare provider should check a pulse for no more than 10 seconds
5 cycles of back slaps, followed by 5 chest thrusts
The best action to relieve severe choking in a responsive infant is
The head tilt chin lift
The best method of opening the airway of an unresponsive victim when you do not suspect cervical spine injury is
Perform abdominal thrust
The best way to relieve sever chocking in a responsive adult is
15:2
The compression-to-breath ratio for 2 rescuer child CPR is
30:2
The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 1-rescuer adult CPR is
30:2
The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 1-rescuer child CPR is
30:2
The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 2- rescuer adult CPR is. The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 1- rescuer infant CPR is 30:2.
15:2
The compression-to-ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer infant CPR is
One-third, 2 inches or 5 cm
The depth of chest compressions for a child victim is one- third the depth of the chest or approximately 2 inches or 5 cm
2 inches (5cm)
The depth of chest compressions for an adult victim should be at least
Turn on the AED
The first step the rescuer should perform after obtaining an AED is
2 thumb-encircling hands
The preferred chest compression technique for 2-rescuer CPR in the infants is the 2 thumb-encircling hands technique
One third, 1.5 inches (4cm)
The recommended depth of chest compressions for an infant is at least one third the depth of the chest approximately 1.5 inches (4cm). A victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse needs CPR .
at least 100 compressions per minute
The recommended rate of performing chest compressions for victims of all ages is
The chest rises visibly
The rescuer knows the rescue breath for an infant victim is effective when
The upper arm, elbow and shoulder
The rescuer should attempt to palpate the brachial pulse in an infant inside the upper arm, between the elbow and shoulder
Shock,charges,shock
The rescuer should deliver a shock with an AED after the AED advises a shock , charges, and prompts the rescuer to push the shock button
5 cycles
To reduce fatigue during team CPR, compression roles should be switched about every
Breaths, 1,3,5
When administering breaths by using a bag -mask device for a child who is not breathing but does have a pulse, the rescuer should give breaths at a rate of 1 breath every 3 to 5 seconds
Heart rate , 60 , pulse
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 without chest compressions
Lower half of the breastbone
You should place your hands on the lower half of the breastbone to perform chest compressions on an adult
