CPR Techniques and Procedures

This video tutorial covers the two-rescuer BLS and CPR process for adults. It emphasizes the role of a second rescuer, who can call emergency services and retrieve an AED while the first rescuer begins CPR. The video outlines the steps for two-rescuer CPR, including preparing the AED, delivering chest compressions, and giving rescue breaths. It highlights the importance of switching roles to maintain high-quality compressions and minimize interruptions. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of the next topic, Adult Mouth-to-Mask Ventilation.

What should the second rescuer do first when they arrive?

• Start chest compressions

• Prepare the AED for use

• Give rescue breaths

• Call 911

Why is it important to count out loud while delivering chest compressions?

• To keep track of time

• To ensure the second rescuer knows when to switch

• To maintain a consistent rhythm

• To alert nearby people

What should the second rescuer do after applying the AED pads?

• To allow the heart to refill with blood

What can happen if a rescuer leans on the chest between compressions?

• It can make CPR more effective

• It can prevent the heart from refilling
