CPR Operation

To give chest compressions to an adult, your hands should be placed

• In the middle of the chest along the breastbone

How should you care for a responsive infant who is choking and cannot cough, cry, or breathe?

• Give abdominal thrusts

• give back blows and chest thrusts to clear the airway

• give back blows until the infants starts to cry

• open the infants mouth and clear the airway

Care for a person who is unresponsive and has a blocked airway includes:

• giving chest compressions

• looking for an object between compressions and breaths

• pressing on the person's abdomen about 5 inches deppe

• Both A and B

about how many seconds should you check for breathing?

• at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds

• at least 10 seconds but no more than 15

Effective chest compressions

• allows the chest to return to its normal position

• are delivered fast at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute

• reset the AED by turning it off for 10 seconds

• resume CPR until the AED reanalyzes or you find an obvious sign of life

• unplug the connector from the machine
