A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction 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
How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?
Always having oxygen attached to the bag
Delivering breaths quickly and forcefully
Observing the chest rise with each breath
Allowing air to release around the mask
You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say to offer feedback?
"You aren't doing it right, just let me do it"
"You need to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute"
"You need to compress at a rate of at least 120 per minute"
"It looks like you're getting tired, remember to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute, after this cycle, I can give you a break and switch"
What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water?
Leave them in the water
Pull them out of the water and wipe the chest
Don't use an AED
Put them on a floatie in the water & then use the AED
If someone has a pace maker can I still use an AED?
yes, just move down an inch
no.
What is the avg rate for compressions and breaths?
20 compressions to 2 breaths
5 compressions to 1 breath
15 compressions to 2 breaths
30 compressions to 2 breaths
After the AED pads are attached to the person, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED?
Press the shock button
Follow the AED prompts
Check for carotid pulse
Clear the patient
When the AED arrives, what is the first step for using it?
Apply the pads to the chest
Clear the patient
Turn on the AED
Press the shock button
You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds and there is no pulse. You phone 9-1-1. What should you do next?
Begin CPR; the gasps are not normal breathing
Give rescue breaths only, the gasps are not normal breathing
Monitor the patient; the gasps are considered normal breathing
Begin CPR even though gasping is normal breathing
Which adult victim requires high-quality CPR?
Has normal breathing & pulse
Has a pulse and is having trouble breathing
Has no normal breathing and no pulse
Has a strong pulse and is breathing
Which characteristics of chest compressions are given in high-quality CPR?
2 inches
4 inches
3 inches
1.5 inches
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
There will be a reduction of rescuer fatigue
The rate of chest compressions will increase
The heart will adequately refill between compressions
It will reduce the risk of rib fractures
When should rescuers switch positions during CPR?
Never
Why is an AED important?
It prevents rearrest from occurring
It is not important for cardiac arrest
There is a 100 success rate
It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm
"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 listed:
Clear roles and dynamics
Mutual respect
Constructive intervention
Knowing your limitations
