Basic life support

A nine year old collapses on the floor

The scene is declared safe , emergency response team is called , CPR has started

Two additional help has arrived

What is the next step in the managment

• Two rescuers should operate the AED while the third rescuer gives breaths.

• One rescuer should give CPR while the other 2 wait for advanced life support to arrive.

• Two rescuers should alternate giving high-quality chest compressions.

• Two rescuers should alternate using the AED and giving breaths

Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AD. What action

supports 2-rescuer CPR?

• Alternating giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles

• Alternating the compressor role ever 2 minutes

• Alternating the AED role every 2 minutes

• Alternating giving shocks every 3 cycles

Which characteristics of chest compressions in high-quality CPR are given to a child?

• At least one third the depth of the chest, approximately 2 inches (5 cm)

• At least one half the depth of the chest, approximately 3 inches (8 cm)

• At least one fourth the depth of the chest, approximately 1½ inches (4 cm)

• At least two thirds the depth of the chest, approximately 4 inches (10 cm)

why allow chest recoil during high quality CPR ?

• there will be reduction of rescuer fatigue

• it will reduce risk of rib fracture

• the heart will adequately refill between compression

• the rate of compression will increase

How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?

• Observing the chest rise with each breath

• Allowing air to release around the mask

• lways having oxygen attached to the bag

• Delivering breaths quickly and forcefully

What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?

Give 15 compressions to 2 breaths

Give 20 compressions to 2 breaths

Give

5 compressions to 1 breath

Give 30

compressions to 2 breaths

• Give 15 compressions to 2 breaths

• Give 20 compressions to 2 breaths

• 5 compressions to 1 breath

• Give 30

  compressions to 2 breaths

"The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a

resuscitation attempt." Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics

• Clear roles

  and responsibilities

• Knowing your limitations

• Mutual respect

• Constructive intervention

• Give sets of 5 abdominal thrusts and 5 back slaps

• Attempt a blind finger sweep when giving breaths to remove the obstructing object

when the AED arrives . what is the first step for using it ?

• Clear the patient

• apply pads to patient chest

• turn on AED

• press the shock button

one thing that you should do while using the AED
