BLS CPR EXAM NEW STUDY REVIEW FOR 2022 NEW EXAM
First, Check victim for 2 things simultaneously - ANS IS Response & Breathing
If adult is unresponsive and not breathing, or not breathing normally, - ANS IS Start CPR.
Compression rate of: - ANS IS 100/min
infants
Adults - ANS IS 1.5 for infants
2 inches for adults
(or 1/3 of the chest circumference)
Lay people:
Medical Professionals: - ANS IS Do not check for pulse.
Only up to 10 seconds to search for pulse.
Complete Sequence for 1 Rescuer: - ANS IS 1)Hey, are you okay?
2) activate emergency response, grab an AED.
3)Check pulse <10 seconds.
4)Start chest compressions (30)
5)2 rescue breaths
6)Chest compressions (30)
7)2 rescue breaths
REPEAT 6 & 7 until help arrives.
2 Rescuer Adult BLS - ANS IS 1)R1 Start Chest compressions (30)
2)R2 maintains airway and gives 2 breaths (30:2) (instruct R1 in accurate compression
technique.
3)If AED tells you to analyze, switch roles, or after every 5 cycles if No AED; switch should take
no less than 5 seconds.
1 rescuer compression technique and ratio for infants - ANS IS 2-finger chest compression, 15:2
2 rescuer compression technique for infants - ANS IS 2 thumb-encircling hands technique and
1/3 depth
AED - ANS IS automated external defibrillator
agonal gasps - ANS IS Abnormal breathing. May happen in the first minutes after sudden
cardiac arrest.
