While performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished?
maintain compression rate of 90-120 per min
Place hands on the upper third of the sternum
Allow the chest to recoil 1 inch
Compress chest to a depth of at least 2 inches
What is the first step for using an AED?
Apply pads
Clear the patient
Turn on the AED
Press the shock button
If the AED detects ventricular fibrillation (heart quivers & doesn't create a pulse) . What is the next step?
Check the victim for a carotid pulse
Follow the AED prompts (verbal guide)
Clear the patient
Press the shock button
What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water?
Do not move the victim, and do not use the AED
Pull the victim out of the water, but do not use the AED
Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the chest
Do not pull the victim out of the water, but wipe the chest before placing pads
How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?
Observing the chest rise with breaths
Delivering breaths quickly and forcefully
Always having oxygen attached to the bag
Allowing air to release around the mask
What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?
5 compressions to 1 breath
20 compressions to 2 breaths
15 compressions to 2 breaths
30 compressions to 2 breaths
What is a consideration when you are using an AED?
You should never remove a transdermal (on the skin) medication patch before applying AED pads
On a hairy chest, the pads may not stick and may fail to deliver a shock
AED's can be used while a victim is submerged in water
You should not use an AED on someone with an implanted pacemaker
What actions support a team-based resuscitation attempt?
2 rescuers alternate using the AED and giving breaths
1 rescuer gives CPR while the other 2 wait for advanced life support to arrive
2 rescuers alternate giving high-quality chest compressions
2 rescuers operate the AED while the third rescuer give breaths
Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2 rescuer CPR?
Alternating the AED role every 2 minutes
Alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes
Alternating giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles
Alternating giving shocks every 3 cycles
"Members of the team know their boundaries (rules/limits) and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens."
Match the statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.
Knowledge sharing
Summarizing and reevaluation
Constructive intervention
Knowing your limitations
A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction (choking) becomes unresponsive. What is your first course of action?
Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions
Roll the victim over and perform back blows
Perform abdominal thrusts
Perform blind finger sweeps
Why is defibrillation (stopping a quivering heart) important?
It prevents rearrest from occurring
Is is not important for cardiac arrest (heart stops beating)
There is a 100% success rate in regaining a normal cardiac rhythm
It can restore a regular cardiac (heart) rhythm
A person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. What should you do next?
Begin CPR; the gasps are not normal breathing
Give rescue breaths only; the gaps are not normal breathing
Monitor the patient; the gasps are considered normal breathing
Begin CPR, even though gasping is normal breathing
Which action is most likely to positively impact a victim's survival who is unresponsive, not breathing and doesn't have a pulse?
Performing high-quality CPR
Ensuring scene safety
Providing rescue breaths
Checking the pulse frequently
You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compressions rate is slowing. What should you say to offer constructive feedback?
"You need to compress at a rate of 80-120 per minute."
"You need to compress at a rate of at least 120 per minute."
"You need to compress at a rate of 100-120 per minute."
"You need to compress at a rate of at least 100 per minute."
How do you perform chest compressions when providing high-quality CPR to a child victim?
There are no modifications to CPR for an unresponsive choking victim
You do not give breaths to an unresponsive choking victim
Each time you open the airway, look for the obstructing object
Attempt a jaw thrust instead of a head tilt-chin lift
You have determined that an infant is responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the airway obstruction?
Encourage the infant to cough
Give sets of 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts
Begin 2 thumb-encircling hands chest compressions
Give abdominal thrusts
Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant?
Perform CPR, and look in the mouth for the obstructing object
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
Give sets of 5 abdominal thrusts and 5 back slaps
Attempt a blind finger sweep when giving breaths to remove the obstructing object
How do you perform chest compressions when providing high-quality CPR to a child victim?
By compressing the chest at least one third the depth of the chest, about 2 inches (5 cm)
By compressing the chest at least one fourth the depth of the chest, about 1.5 inches (4 cm)
By compressing the chest at least two thirds the depth of the chest, about 4 inches (10 cm)
By compressing the chest at least one half the depth of the chest, about 3 inches (8 cm)
Which victim requires high-quality CPR?
A victim who is unresponsive, has a strong pulse, and is breathing adequately
A victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse
A victim who is responsive, has a pulse, and is having trouble breathing
A victim who is responsive, is having trouble breathing, and has a pulse less than 60/min
Match the statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.
Clear roles and responsibilities
Knowing your limitations
Constructive intervention
Mutual respect
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
There will be a reduction of rescuer fatigue
It will reduce the risk of rib fracture
The heart will adequately refill between compressions
The rate of chest compressions will increase
When should rescuers switch positions during CPR?
Never switch rescuers, and maintain current roles
Switch rescuers at 5-minute intervals
Switch rescuers about every 2 minutes (every 5 cycles)
switch rescuers when placing the AED pads
You notice a person giving chest compressions is not allowing for complete recoil. What is your next course of action?
Stand back and await direction from the team leader
Take over leadership and give direction
Immediately take over chest compressions
Tell the compressor you notice decreased chest recoil
Rapid defibrillation (shocking the heart) is a link in the adult Chain of Survival. Why is this important to survival?
It prevents cardiac arrest
It prevents respiratory arrest
It provides normal respiration
It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm
