QuestionAnswer
The correct rate for administering compressions is the rate of 100 per minute. 100 compressions per minute.
Correct compression to breath rate with only 1 rescuer is 30:2 30 compressions : 2 breaths Adult/Child/Infant 1 rescuer only
30:2 compression/breath for Adult with 2 rescuer 15:2 compression/breath for Child & Infant with 2 rescuers 2 rescuers only
To relieve choking in a responsive infant ; Do what? 5 back back blows; 5 chest thrusts ; Repeat!
To relieve choking in a NON-responsive infant; Do what? Immediately start CPR!
How do you know your rescue breath is effective? You see the chest rise!
To relieve choking in a responsive Adult? Abdominal thrusts: Heimlick maneuver
When do you start chest compressions and breaths for an adult? after establishing victim is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse.
When do you phone in a response to 911 if you are alone with a non-responsive infant? After 5 cycles of CPR.
Early defibrillation(use of an AED) for adults is important because: The chance for success diminishes rapidly over time.
The best way to allow chest to recoil after each chest compression is to ? Take the weight off your hands so the chest returns to it's normal position.
Rescuers should push hard & deep on the chest because : Shallow chest compressions may not produce adequate blood flow!
Rescuers should compress at a rate of 100 times a minute because : This compression rate should produce adequate blood flow and should improve survival.
Rescuers should allow the chest to recoil completely after each compression because : Complete chest recoil maximizes refilling of the heart; Necessary for effective blood flow.
Rescuers should NOT interrupt chest compressions often or for long. WHY? When you are not compressing the chest, blood does not flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs.
CPR consists of these 4 main parts. ? Airway-Breathing-Circulation-Defibrillation
When performing mouth-to-mouth breathing because you have no mask available, make sure to ? Pinch nostrils shut and head tilt/chin lift to start.
If mask is available, always put it over mouth and nose, never the ? eyes.
You are performing CPR and get to the checking pulse stage. You notice a pulse. Now what? Give 1 breath for every 5 to 6 seconds for an ADULT(10-12 breaths a minute). 1 breath for every 3 to 5 seconds for a child(12-20 breaths a minute) One breath every 3 seconds for an INFANT.
Sequence of events for use of an AED: Collapse, EMS notification (911), Dispatch of EMS units, Start of CPR, Start of Defibrillation, Return of perfusing rhythm, Arrival of full ACLS support
Use of an AED only when victims have the 3 following clinical findings: No response, No breathing, No pulse.
Do not use child pads of an AED on an Adult, however you can use Adult AED pads on a child if child pads are unavailable. T or F TRUE
When using an AED, Stop compressions to administer the "ANALIZE, and SHOCK" to a victim. Do not touch victim, say "CLEAR" and do not touch victim until AED is done!
If you suspect victim has a neck trauma or spinal injury, What do you do instead of neck extension? Jaw thrust instead.
What do you Look, Listen, and Feel for? LOOK-for the chest to rise and fall. LISTEN-for air escaping during exhalation FEEL- for the flow of air against your cheek.
Always check for the Pulse on an Adult, or child where? What about an Infants pulse? Carotid artery for adults, Brachial artery for infants.
When do you perform Rescue breathing only. Inadequate breathing but still has a pulse.
What are agonal gasps? May happen in the first minutes of Cardiac arrest. Gasps are not adequate breathing.
What is recovery position and when would you use it? Placing victim on their side. Not prone or supine! If victim is nauseous or you have to leave victim for any reason.
Adult chain of survival: Early access, Early CPR, Early defibrillation, Early advanced care.
Pediatric chain of survival: Prevention of arrest, Early and effective bystander CPR, Rapid activation of EMS, Early and effective advanced life support.
Difference between Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest? Cardiac Arrest- Heart has stopped, circulation has ceased and vital organs are not getting oxygen. Heart Attacks usually are more than 20-30 minutes when heart is starting to be deprived of blood flow and oxygen due to narrowing of arteries.
Red Flags of a Heart Attack include: Chest discomfort lasting 15- 20 minutes, sweating, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, possibly feeling of weakness.
Atypical presentations of an Heart attack: Elderly, people with diabetes, women are more likely to present unusual symptoms or vague, nonspecific complaints.
Red Flags for a Stroke include: Sudden numbness of face, arm, leg, or one side of body, Sudden confusion, Sudden trouble with eyesight, walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or severe onset of headache.
Compression location: Center of breastbone between nipples for ADULTS/CHILDREN. Just below nipple line on breastbone for INFANTS.
Activate your Emergency response system as soon as victim is found for ADULTS. What about Children(1-puberty) and Infants(less than 1yr)? Activate your emergency response system after giving 5 cycles of CPR.
Check breathing and pulse for at least ___ seconds but no more than _____ seconds. At least 5 seconds, No more than 10 seconds!
Compression depth 1 1/2 to 2 inches for ADULTS. 1/3 to 1/2 depth of chest for : Children (1 yr old to puberty) and Infants (less than 1 yr of age)
Puberty is defined as : Facial/chest/underarm hair for Boys. Chest development for Females. If they have any of these characteristics, they are considered Adult.
