What is your next course of action
Stand back and await direction from the second rescuer
Tell the rescuer that he is doing compressions wrong
Immediately take over the compressions
Tell the person giving compressions that you notice decreased chest recoil
A 67-year-old man is found unresponsive , not breathing , and without a pulse You and a second rescuer begin performing high-quality CPR

Never switch positions
When placing the AED's pads on the chest
About every 2 minutes or 5 cycles

A middle-aged man collapses
You and a second rescuer go to the victim and find that he is unresponsive, he is not breathing and has no pulse.

Why is this important for survival?
It prevents respiratory arrest
It prevents cardiac arrest
It prevents normal respirations
It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm
Why is defibrillation important ?
It is not important for a cardiac arrest
It prevents rearrest from happening
There is a 100% success rate
It can correct the abnormal heart rhythm and return to a regular heart rhythm
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
There will be a reduction of rescuer fatigue
The rate of compressions will increase
The heart will adequately refill between compressions
