Why is early CPR important?
It circulates oxygenated blood to the brain

Ignore and proceed
What should you do if a medication patch is in the AED pad area?
Remove the patch and wipe the skin
Place the pad over the patch
Move the pad to the leg
Do nothing and continue
Where should adult pads go on an infant if risk of touching?
One on chest, one on back
Both on the chest
Both on the back
One on abdomen, one on chest
Why is early defibrillation essential?
It can restore a normal rhythm quickly
It prevents rescuer fatigue
It increases chest recoil
It guarantees survival
What is the correct compression depth for a child?

When should EMS be activated when alone with an unresponsive child?

Why is breathing especially important in child cardiac arrest?
Most arrests begin as respiratory problems
Children rarely need compressions
