CPR

When you give compressions to an adult, push the chest down...

• 1/2 the depth of the chest

• 1/3 the depth of the chest

• 1 inch

• At least 2 inches

When giving breaths, you can tell enough air is going in if you...

• See the person's chest rise.

• The person begins to breathe

• See the person start to blink

• See the person start to respond

Once you've started giving compressions and breaths, you should keep going until...

• You get too tired to continue

• The AED arrives, the person responds, or someone with more advanced training arrives.

• You decide that CPR has been performed long enough.

When giving CPR to an adult, you should give sets of...

• One breath and 15 compressions.

• Two breaths and 20 compressions

• 30 compressions and one breath

• 30 compressions and two breaths

After each compression you should...

• Let the chest come back up to its normal position

• Check to see if the person is breathing normally.

• Reposition the hands on the person's chest

• Pause and rest to prevent fatigue.

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the use of an AED?

• It doesn't matter where you put the pads on the victim's body.

• To use an AED, you must know everything about the conditions an AED can correct.

• The pad or pad package will show you where to place the pads.

• You should count to 10 after the AED tells you to press the shock button before doing so.

If you are giving breaths with a mask you should...

• Make an airtight seal between the person's face and the mask.

• Rest it lightly on the person's face.

• Choose a mask that fits your hands

When should you use an AED?

• If a person groans and moves after a tap and shout.

• If a person complains of chest pain and shortness of breath.

• If a person does not respond and is not breathing, or is only gasping.

• Only if another rescuer has completed 1 set of 30 compressions and 2 breaths.

You are giving sets of 30 compressions and 2 breaths and a bystander arrives with an AED, what should you do next?

• Finish whichever set of 30 compressions and 2 breaths you were working on.

• Use the AED immediately.

If you are performing CPR on an infant who is not injured and you are alone, after 5 sets of 30 compressions and 2 breaths...

• Keep giving sets of compressions and breaths until the infant responds.

• You may carry the infant to the phone to call 911.

• Check for breathing.

• See if someone can help.
