| 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, open the airway, look-listen-feel, give 2 breaths, check for pulse, start 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? | give 2 breaths and 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, when opening the airway look for the object and remove it if you see it beforse giving breath |
| 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. |
