Q: What is the required speed for chest compressions when performing CPR? ✔️✔️
A: You must maintain a tempo of at least 100 to 120 beats per minute.
Q: What are the four fundamental steps for operating an Automated External
Defibrillator (AED)? ✔️✔️ A: Power on the device, attach the pads to the patient,
allow the machine to analyze the heart rhythm, and deliver a shock if prompted.
Q: What is the correct frequency for providing rescue breaths to an adult who has a
pulse but isn't breathing? ✔️✔️ A: Deliver one breath every 5 to 6 seconds,
ensuring each breath lasts about one second.
Q: What is the standard ratio of compressions to breaths for a single-rescuer adult
CPR? ✔️✔️ A: 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths.
Q: Where should a rescuer place their hands when performing adult chest
compressions? ✔️✔️ A: In the middle of the chest, specifically on the lower half of
the breastbone (sternum).
Q: How does the compression-to-ventilation ratio change once an advanced airway
(like an ET tube) is in place? ✔️✔️ A: The team should switch to continuous chest
compressions without pausing for breaths. The person managing the airway
provides one breath every 6 seconds independently
Ventilation rate during CPR with an advanced airway. -ANSWER ✔️✔️One breath
every 6 to 8 seconds
, What is the depth of compressions on adult patients. -ANSWER ✔️✔️At least 2
inches
Sudden increase in ET CO2 during CPR indicate. -ANSWER ✔️✔️ROSC
Epinephrine dose during CPR. -ANSWER ✔️✔️1 mg ratio 1 to 10,000 IV IO
First dose of adenosine. -ANSWER ✔️✔️6 mg Rapid IV push
Bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion. -ANSWER ✔️✔️Atropine, TCP,
dopamine, epinephrine
Stable SVT. -ANSWER ✔️✔️Vagal maneuvers, adenosine, then calcium channel
blocker's or beta blocker
Lateral leads -ANSWER ✔️✔️V5 and V6
High lateral leads -ANSWER ✔️✔️I and AVL
Anterior leads -ANSWER ✔️✔️V3 and V4
Bipolar leads -ANSWER ✔️✔️I,II, and III.
Inferior leads -ANSWER ✔️✔️II, III, AVF
