 CPR consist of 4 main parts which are: | Airway, Breathing, Circulation, and Defibrillation |
| When giving CPR to an adult, how far should you press down with each compression? | 1 1/2 to 2 inches pressing straight down to the breastbone. |
| In an adult how many compressions should you deliver in 1 minute? | 100 |
| Why is recoil important during compressions? | It allows complete refilling of the heart. Incomplete recoil will reduce the blood flow created by the chest compressions. |
| How long should take to deliver a regular breath? | 1 second to deliver each breath. You must deliver enough air to make the victims chest rise. |
| What is the compression-ventilation ratio for a one man and two man adult CPR? | 30:2 |
| What is the compression-ventilation ratio for a one man CPR on a child or infant? | 30:2 |
| What is the compression-ventilation ratio for a two man rescuer infant or child CPR? | 15:2 |
| When performing one man Adult CPR, how long should you check to the breathing of the patient | At least 5 seconds, no longer than 10 seconds. |
| Rescuers should try to minimize interruptions to less than ______ seconds. | 10 seconds |
| How far should you press down on a CHILD AGE 1 TO PUBERTY? | 1/3 to 1/2 the depth of the chest with each compression |
| Why must you avoid over-inflation during rescue breathing? | May cause air gastric distention. |
| In adult CPR, should you leave the scene to call 911 before you initiate CPR? | Yes. If someone is near send them to call 911. If no one is near, leave the patient to dial 911. |
| When should you administer rescue breaths to victims? (2) | 1- No breathing, but with a pulse 2- Those that are "gasping" inadequate breathing |
| Why is a modified lateral position (recovery position) used? | To prevent the airway from being obstructed by the tongue, mucus, or vomitus. |
| What type of clamp should you use on the 1 rescuer bag-valve-mask? | E-C clamp technique |
| How do you perform a E-C clamp technique one man? (3) | 1- perform head tilt chin lift 2- Use the thumb and index fingers of one hand to make a "C" pressing on the edges of the mask 3- Use the remaining fingers to lift the angles of the jaw (3 fingers form an E) |
| How does an E-C clamp technique differ with 1 man and 2 man CPR? | Two rescuer CPR can use both hands to form the "E-C" technique. |
| When should you activate 911 for an adult? | Immediately |
| When should you activate 911 for an child or infant? | After 5 cycles or 2 minutes of CPR |
| Where should you check the pulse on a child or an adult? | Carotid |
| Where should you check the pulse on a infant? | Brachial |
| When should you start CPR on a INFANT OR CHILD? | 1- If no pulse 2- or if pulse is <60 |
| What compression method should you use for an adult? | Heel of one hand, other hand on top. OR 1 hand for small victims |
| What compression method should you use for a child? | 2 fingers or 2 thumbs encircling |
| When dealing with a conscious chocking patient what treatment/ action should you take? | Abdominal thrusts |
| How long should you continue abdominal thrusts on a choking patient? | Repeat until the object is expelled or victim becomes unresponsive |
| In a conscious choking infant what action should you take? | 5 chest thrusts and 5 back slaps. Continue until object is expelled or victim becomes unresponsive |
| When should perform a finger sweep during choking management in a unconscious patient? | Every time the rescuer opens the airway to deliver rescue breaths, the rescuer should look into the mouth and remove the object if seen. |
| What are the rescue breathing rates for an adult | 10-12 times/min (1 breath every 5-6 seconds) |
| What are the rescue breathing rates for an child or infant? | 12-20 times a minute (1 breath every 3-5 seconds) |
| How do you perform a back slap on an infant? | 1- Hold the infant in one arm, head angled down 2- 5 slaps with the heel of the hand |
| Should you ever perform a blind finger sweep? | No, No, No! Never perform a blind finger sweep. Only perform a finger sweep if you can see the object! |
| On a choking pregnant or obese patient, should you use a chest thrust or an abdominal thrust? | Chest thrust |
| In 2 rescuer adult CPR, when should they rescuers switch positions? | Rescuer 1 and 2 should change positions every 5 cycles (about 2 minutes) This will minimize fatigue and chest compressions will be more effective |
| Definition of a child | 1 year old to the onset of puberty (12-14 years old) |
| Definition of an infant | under one year old |
| What is the most common cause of cardiac arrest in an infant/child? | Respiratory Arrest |
| Why is the 15:2 compression ratio used in a 2 man CPR to infants and children? | To provide more ventilation to the child/infant. Most common cause of cardiac arrest is due to a breathing problem |
| How do you perform a chest thrust on an obese or pregnant patient? | 1- Wrap arms to the front of the patients chest 2- make a fist with one hand and place it over the sternum 3- Grab fist with other hand and give thrust |
| What is the most common cause of cardiac arrest? | Respiratory Arrest |
| What are the four components of the Chain of Survival? | 1. Early Access 2. Early CPR 3. Early Defibrillation 4. Early Advanced Care |
| When is CPR most effective? | When started immediately after collapse |
| Name the two indications for CPR? | Cardiac Arrest and Respiratory Arrest |
| What are the 3 exceptions of not administering CPR? | 1. Death 2. DNR 3. Advanced Healthcare Directives |
| Define Respiratory Arrest. | No breathing, but has a pulse |
| Define Cardiac Arrest. | No breathing and no pulse |
| How many seconds should it take for one cycle of CPR? | 22 seconds |
