  head-tilt/neck-lift

•  

  head-tilt/chin-lift

•  

  head-tilt/mouth-open

•  

  chin-lift/arms up

  
  

What should you do before the AED analyzes the heart rhythm?

• Ensure that no one, including you, is touching the person

•  

  Ensure that the person is breathing

•  

  None of the above

•  

  Ensure that the head tilt/jaw thrust is maintained

Which is the most common abnormal heart rhythm in cases of sudden cardiac arrest in adults?

•  

  sinus bradycardia

• asystole

•  

  Ventricular Fibrillation

Which of the following is NOT a link in the Cardiac Chain of Survival?

•  

  Early recognition and early access to EMS system

•  

  Early defibrillation

•  

  Proper follow up from the emergency room

• Early CPR

Effective chest compressions:

• Are delivered fast, about 100 compressions per minute

• Allow the chest to return to the normal position

• All of the answers given

• Are smooth, steady and given down and up rhythm

 What is the time length at which brain damage is likely to begin to occur?

• after 6 minutes

• 4-6 minutes

• before 60 seconds

•  

  10 Minutes

What do you NOT do when performing CPR?

• Compress the chest at a 45 degree angle

• Compress the chest straight down and up rhythm, about 100 compressions per minute

• Give chest compressions that are smooth and steady

• Bend your elbows to perform CPR

An AED gives the victim a shock only when:

• there is ventricular tachycardia

• when the shock button is pushed

• when the pads are attached to the chest

• every 5 minutes

During ventricular fibrillation, the heart:

• beats very slowly and inefficiently pumps blood

• beats too fast to pump blood effectively

• quivers and cannot pump blood

• momentarily stops and then restarts
