In high quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished? |
Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches (5cm). |
|
The AED arrives on the scene. What is the first step to using it? |
Turn it on! |
|
The AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED? |
Follow the AED prompts. |
|
What should you do if the victim is submerged in water and you need to use an AED? |
Pull the victim out of the water and wipe their chest. |
|
When using a bag-mask device, how can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths? |
Observing the chest rise with breaths. |
|
in 1 rescuer infant CPR what is the ratio of compressions to breaths? |
30:2 (30 compressions and 2 breaths) |
|
What is something to consider when using an AED? |
pads may not stick on a hairy chest and may fail to deliver a shock. |
|
A child has collapsed. 1 rescuer has confirmed the scene is safe, has called for help, and has begun high quality CPR. 2 additional rescuers arrive to assist. What actions are next, to support a team-based resuscitation attempt? |
2 rescuers alternate giving high quality chest compressions. |
|
2 rescuers begin high quality CPR, the 3rd leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2-rescuer CPR? |
Alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes. |
|
"Members of a team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens". What element of team dynamics does this reflect? |
Knowing you limitations. |
|
A victim has a foreign-body airway obstruction and becomes unresponsive. What is your first action? |
Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions. |
|
Defibrillation is important because |
It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm |
|
You see someone suddenly collapse. They are unresponsive, they are gasping, and there is no pulse. What next? |
Begin CPR; the gasps are not normal breathing |
|
You see a victim unresponsive, not breathing, and no pulse. Which action is most likely to positively impact this victim’s survival. |
Performing high quality CPR |
|
if compression rate slows during CPR what constructive feedback can you give? |
"You need to compress at a rate of 100-120 per minute." |
|
How do you perform chest compressions when providing high quality CPR to a child victim? |
By compressing at least 1/3 the depth of the chest, about 2 inches (5cm) |
|
How would you modify CPR on an unresponsive choking victim? |
Each time you open the airway, look for the obstructing object. |
|
An infant is responsive but choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the obstruction? |
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrust |
|
Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant? |
Perform CPR and look for the obstructing object |
|
Which victim requires CPR? |
A victim who is unresponsive, with no normal breathing and no pulse. |
|
"The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resusitation attempt." What element of team dynamics is this? |
Clear roles and responsibilities. |
|
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important? |
The heart will adequately refill between compressions |
|
When should rescuers switch positions during CPR? |
Switch rescuers every 2 minutes |
|
If you notice that the person performing chest compressions is not allowing complete chest recoil, what can you do? |
Tell the compressor that you notice decreased chest recoil. |
|
Rapid defibrillation is important to survival because |
it eliminates abnormal heart rhythm |
