While performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished? Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches A 53-year-old woman collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse. A neighbor, who is an emergency medical technician, rushes to her with an AED. When the AED arrives, what is the first step for using it? Turn on the AED A 53-year-old woman collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse. A neighbor, who is an emergency medical technician, rushes to her with an AED. After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED? Follow the AED prompts What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water? Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the chest How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device? Observing the chest rise with breaths What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?
30 compressions to 2 breaths What is a consideration when you are using an AED? On a hairy chest, the pads may not stick and may fail to deliver a shock A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. What actions should occur next, to support a team-based resuscitation attempt? 2 rescuers alternate giving high-quality chest compressions A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2-rescuer CPR? Alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes Alternating giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles "Members of the team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens." Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed. Knowing your limitations A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What is your first course of action?
An 8-month-old infant is eating and suddenly begins to cough. The infant is unable to make any noise shortly after. You pick up the infant and shout for help. You have determined that the infant is responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the airway obstruction? Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts An 8-month-old infant is eating and suddenly begins to cough. The infant is unable to make any noise shortly after. You pick up the infant and shout for help. Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant? Perform CPR, and look in the mouth for the obstructing object Which victim requires high-quality CPR? A victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse "The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt." Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed. Clear roles and responsibilities Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR? The heart will adequately refill between compressions A 67-year-old man is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. You and a second rescuer begin performing high-
quality CPR. When should rescuers switch positions during CPR? Switch rescuers about every 2 minutes A 67-year-old man is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. You and a second rescuer begin performing high- quality CPR. You notice the person giving chest compressions is not allowing for complete chest recoil. What is your next course of action? Tell the compressor you notice decreased chest recoil Rapid defibrillation is a link in the adult Chain of Survival. Why is this important to survival? It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm
