children + infants - 2 rescuers CPR ratio, 1 rescuer? Correct Answer: 15:2, 30:2
how to perform compressions on infants. children? Correct Answer: thumbs or two fingers
one or two handed chest compressions depending on size
compression depth infants + children Correct Answer: 1/3 of chest depth
infants approx 1.5 inchest
children - same, 2 inches [4 cm]
only person available, see kid chillin, what do you do?. what if you did witness the cardiac
arrest? Correct Answer: perform CPR x2 minutes before calling EMS or getting AED
-call EMS + get AED, then CPR
which pulses and for 'no more than how many seconds'- kids
infants? Correct Answer: femoral, carotid, 10 seconds
infants = brachial artery, femoral
can't feel pulse what do you do? Correct Answer: CPR, 30:2
feel pulse but below 60 bpm Correct Answer: begin CPR [60 = too slow for kid]
crap is hitting the fan, you're stranded by yourself. how long until you call for help Correct
Answer: 5 cycles of 30:2 THEN stay with kid call EMS
what does the AHA recommend concerning phones Correct Answer: need dat speaker box -
ayyy
two rescuers see kid drop, then what? Correct Answer: one phones 'home'
two compressions 30:2
one comes back
15:2
check pulse infants where? Correct Answer: brachial artery
inside upper arm between infants elbow and shoulder
hand placement one rescuer versus two Correct Answer: 1. two fingers
2. if hands big enough them encircling around infants chest
infants cardiac arrest is not a thing. explain Correct Answer: usu preceded by respiratory probs -
first step in pediatric chain survival Correct Answer: prevention
, how many compression beats per minute for infant Correct Answer: 100-120
where to press on infants chest Correct Answer: center. do not press on end of sternum, can
cause injury
difference between checking pulse in infant with 1 versus 2 providers Correct Answer: 1 =
femoral or brachial
2 = brachial?
what if breathing probs but pulse 'finite' and >60bpm Correct Answer: one breast every three
seconds
how often do you assess pulse? Correct Answer: every two minutes
you respond to a child or infant that is found down. what is the next action after determining
unresponsiveness? Correct Answer: tell bystander to call 911 - early activation is key. many
pediatric cardiac arrest situations are the result of respiratory problems and immediate
intervention can be lifesaving
contractions of the heart go from Correct Answer: top to bottom
6 laymans terms for dysrythmias Correct Answer: heart blocks, pauses, tachycardias,
bradycardia, dropped beats
perfusion definition Correct Answer: keeping blood pumping through vasculature
oxygenation definition Correct Answer: supplying oxygen to the lungs
another name for gasping Correct Answer: agonal breathing
when is initiation of rescue breaths warranted Correct Answer: if problem respiratory in nature =
ineffective breathing with adequate pulses
when to begin 'high quality CPR' Correct Answer: if breathing is ineffective and pulses are
inadequate
how to open airway manually Correct Answer: jaw lift/chin thrust
nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal airway
types of advanced airways Correct Answer: endotracheal intubation
cricothyrotomy
what is a sign of impending respiratory arrest Correct Answer: bradypnea
