| A | B |
|---|
| Rate of Chest Compressions? | At least 100 CPM (compressions per minute) |
| Compression/Ventilation ratio(s) for 2 rescuers and an advanced airway? | 30:2 (adults, children, infants w/1 rescuer) 15:2 (infants and children, 2 rescuers only) |
| Unresponsive victim with agonal gasps? | If no pulse, begin CPR (CAB). If there is a pulse, give rescue breaths. |
| When do you begin CPR? | Victim has no pulse and is not breathing. |
| AED Steps? | Power on, Attach pads, Let AED analyze, Follow AED's instructions |
| After powering up the AED what do you do? | Attach the pads |
| What do you do after you attach the pads? | Let the AED analyze the heart rhythms |
| Should a single rescuer use a bag mask? | No. The bag mask is used only with 2 rescuers. |
| When do you apply the 15:2 compressions/ventilations ratio. | Only with 2 rescuers and only on children or infants. |
| When is the two-thumb encircling hands technique used? | Only on infants and only with two rescuers. |
| How deep are the chest compressions supposed to be? | 2 inches (5 cm) in adults and 1/3 the AP (anterior/posterior) diameter. |
| What does the AP in AP diameter mean? | Anterior (front) Posterior (back) It is the depth of the chest cavity. |
| What is high-quality CPR? | At least 100 CPM, Compressions at least 2 inches deep (1/3 AP diameter) with complete chest recoil. |
| What is chest recoil? | When the chest returns to its normal state after a compression. (Recovery of normal chest shape.) |
| Can you interrupt compressions? | No. Not for more than 10 seconds. |
| What's the first thing you do if you see someone in trouble? | Check the scene for safety! |
| How long is 5 cycles of compressions and ventilations? | About 2 minutes. |
| How long do you have to deliver 30 compressions? | About 18 seconds. |
| Where do you check pulse in an infant. | Brachial artery (upper arm) |
| Your abdominal thrusts were ineffective and the victim passes out. What do you do? | Follow CPR steps. (Check pulse, call for help to activate the ERS, etc.) |
| RICE | Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation (First Aid for Soft Tissue Injury) |
| DOTS | Deformity, Open Wound, Tenderness, Swelling (Used to determine the problem.) |
| When would you move a victim? | When the location is dangerous. |
| What could you use as a rigid splint? | Rolled up magazines, sticks, branches, etc. |
| Which is worse, an anterior or a posterior nosebleed? | Posterior (They can be fatal.) |
| What is the best position to stop a nosebleed? | Sitting in a chair, leaning forward slightly. |
| Examples of expressed consent: | Spoken permission, Yes, help, please help me/my child, etc. |
| Implied consent is what? | Motioned, non-verbal, a nod of the head or facial expression or look |
| Assumed consent? | Unresponsive victim. The good Samaritan law protects rescuers under assumed consent. |
| What kind of emergence is an immediate threat to life? | Cardiac arrest (heart attack, myocardial infarction), no pulse, no breathing. |
| What arteries are used to control bleeding and where are the pressure points? | Radial (where the pulse is checked at the wrist, brachial artery in the upper arm, femoral artery in the groin. |
| Hyperthermia | Victim is too hot. |
| Hypothermia | Victim is too cold |
| Hypertension | Victim has high blood pressure |
| Hypotension | Victim has low blood pressure |
