A comprehensive set of questions and answers related to basic life support (bls) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) based on the latest 2022 american heart association (aha) guidelines. It covers a wide range of topics, including the most common locations for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, the leading causes of cardiac arrest in children, the steps in the adult out-of-hospital chain of survival, proper techniques for assessing and responding to an unresponsive victim, the appropriate compression-to-ventilation ratios for cpr in adults, children, and infants, the use of automated external defibrillators (aeds), and the management of airway obstructions and opioid overdoses. Detailed explanations and step-by-step instructions to ensure that rescuers are well-prepared to handle various emergency situations and deliver high-quality, life-saving care.

a 53 year old man collapses and becomes unresponsive. you witnessed his collapse and are the first rescuer at the scene, where the man is lying motionless on the floor.
which is the first action you should take in this situation? - correct answer. verify the scene is safe

As you check for a pulse and breathing, you notice that the man is gasping for air and making "snorting" sounds. You do not feel a pulse. What is your best next action? - correct answer. start high-quality CPR, beginning with chest compressions
what is the ratio of chest compressions to breaths when providing CPR to an adult? - correct answer. 30 compressions to 2 breaths
what are the rate and depth for chest compressions on an adult? - correct answer. a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute and a depth of approximately 2 inches
what action should you take when more rescuers arrive? - correct answer. assign task to other rescuers and rotate compressors every 2 minutes or more frequently if needed to avoid fatigue
If you suspect that an unresponsive victim has head or neck trauma, what is the preferred method for opening the airway? - correct answer. jaw thrust
what is CCF? - correct answer. portion of time that rescuers perform chest compressions during CPR
What is the most appropriate first step to take as soon as the AED arrives at the victim's side? - correct answer. power on the AED
Which step is one of the universal steps for operating an AED? - correct answer. placing the pads on victims bare chest
If a victim of cardiac arrest has an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator, what special steps should be taken? - correct answer. avoid placing the AED pad directly over the implanted device
what action should you take while the AED is analyzing the heart rhythm? - correct answer. stand clear of the victim
after performing high quality CPR for 5 minutes the Team Leader frequently interrupts chest compressions to check for pulse. which action demonstrates constructive intervention? - correct answer. suggest resuming chest compressions without delay
the Team Leader asks you to perform bag-mask ventilation during a resuscitation attempt, but you have not perfected that skill. what would be an appropriate action to acknowledge your limitations? - correct answer. tell the team leader you are not comfortable performing that task
what is the appropriate action to demonstrate closed-loop communication when the team leader assigns you a task? - correct answer. repeat back to the team leader the task assigned to you
what is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer of a 3 year old child? - correct answer. 30 compressions to 2 breaths
what is the correct compression-to-ventilation for a 7 year old child when 2 or more rescuers are present? - correct answer. 15 compressions to 2 breaths
For what age victim is the 2 thumb-encircling hands technique recommended? - correct answer. an infant 1 year or younger
what is the correct chest compression depth for a child? - correct answer. at least one third depth of the chest, or approximately 2 inches (5 cm)
what is the correct chest compression depth for an infant? - correct answer. at leas one third the depth of the chest, or approximately 1 1/2 inches (4 cm)
