the carotid artery on the side of the neck
the best place to try to find a pulse in an adult is
30 compressions: 2 breath
If you have 2 rescuers for an adult victim and one or both are comfortable giving rescue breaths, the correct ratio of compressions to breaths is:
Do CPR for 2 minutes before you call for help
For a child needing CPR who has been down an unknown amount of time, the first thing you should do is:
Start chest compressions again
During CPR, if the victim's chest does not rise after two attempts to give breaths, you should:
True
When doing mouth-to-mouth breathing for a small child or infant, it is acceptable to cover the victim's mouth and nose with your mouth to form an airtight seal.
Activate the emergency response system
You and a friend are walking when you see an elderly man collapse in front of you. There are no hazards around. You assess the man and determine that he is unconscious and is not breathing. You should direct your friend to:
With your index finger, sweep the victim's mouth to ensure there are no foreign bodies
. If you are performing rescue breathing for an adult victim with a pulse, you should do all of the following EXCEPT:
At least 2 inches
The recommended compression depth for an adult is:
Activate the emergency response system; CPR; Defibrillation; Advanced Life Support; Post-Cardiac arrest care
