| A | B |
|---|
| rate for compressions in cpr | 100/minute |
| best way to open airway if no suspicion of cervical spine injury | head-tilt, chin-lift |
| way to open airway if cervical spine injury is suspected | jaw-thrust |
| steps when finding an unresponsive person | check for response, activate 911, check for breaths and pulse, start CPR with compressions |
| how do you know a rescue breath is effective? | chest rises visibly |
| how to allow chest to recoil from compression completely? | take weight off of hands and allow chest to return to normal position |
| If instead of no breathing, you find agonal gasps, what do you do? | start cpr steps just like if there was no breath |
| When would you do cpr? | unresponsive, no breathing (or agonal gasps), no pulse |
| why give early defibrillation? | better chance of survival, the longer you wait the less the chance of success |
| why minimize interruptions in chest compressions? | increases the chances of survival |
| What is the ratio of chest compressions to breaths in one person adult, child and infant cpr and two person adult cpr? | 30 to 2 |
| What is the ratio of compressions to breaths in two person child or infant cpr? | 15 to 2 |
| What is the order of AED use? | power, attach pads, clear victim, analyze, clear victim, deliver shock |
| What might happen if you touch a person while the AED is delivering a shock? | you might be shocked |
| If the AED says "no shock advised" what do you do? | leave pads on the chest and continue cpr |
| If you restart cpr after using an AED where do you start? | with compressions |
| What size pads do I use for an adult victim? | Adult size AED pads |
| What size AED pads do I use for a child victim? | child size, if no child size, use Adult size. |
| How do I relieve choking in a responsive adult? | abdominal thrusts |
| What do I do if a choking adult becomes unresponsive? | lower to the floor, send for 911, begin cpr starting with compressions |
| If alone with a non-responsive infant victim who needs cpr,when should you leave them and go call 911? | after 2 minutes of 5 cycles of CPR |
| If alone with a non-responsive adult vicitm, when should you leave them and go call 911? | immediately, before starting cpr |
| How do I relieve choking in a responsive infant? | cycle 5 back slaps with 5 chest thrusts until the object comes out. |
| if a child has a pulse of 60 per minute or more, but isn't breathing well what should I do? | give breaths without chest compressions |
| how should a single rescuer give breaths? | mouth to mouth, mouth to mask, mouth to barrier |
| If there is an advanced airway in place, how often should breaths be given with the bag valve mask? | 1 breath every 6 to 8 seconds while the compressions are going on |
| if an infant is not breathing and has a pulse rate of less than 60, and isn't showing good perfusion with just a bag valve mask ventilation what should you do? | both compressions and breaths |
| where should the hands be placed to do compressions on an adult? | lower half of the breastbone |
| what is the preferred technique for chest compression on an infant with 2 people? | 2 thumb-encircling hands technique |
| How deep should the compressions be for an adult victim? | at least 2 inches |
| how deep should the compressions be for an infant or child? | at least one third the depth of the chest |
| why do you need to compress to the correct depth? | in order to create enough blood flow to the brain and heart |
| When should you make sure the scene is safe? | as soon as you see a potential victim |
| You should minimize interruptions and keep them to less than what? | 10 seconds |
| How should you make sure there is minimal gastric inflation? | just give the breath until you see the chest rise |
| 2 person cpr, .. one begins chest compressions, what does the other one do? | keeps the airway open, gives ventilations, encourages the first rescuer |
| How do I deliver mouth to mouth ventilation? | open airway, seal mouth over victim's mouth, pinch nose closed, give 2 breaths, watch for chest to rise |
| For a child if you are just giving breaths because they have a pulse, how often is the breath given? | every 3-5 seconds |
