a victim who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse
when is it important to move an adult victim who needs CPR?
when an adult/ victim is in a dangerous environment
High quality CPR includes starting chest compressions within how many
seconds after recognition of cardiac arrest in victims of all ages?
10 seconds
interruptions of chest compressions should be limited to how many seconds?
10 seconds
how can you tell when a rescue breath for an infant victim is effective?
there is visible rise of the chest
what is the best method of opening the airway of an unresponsive victim when
you do not suspect cervical spine injury?
use the head tilt chin lift
what technique is not recommended for single rescuer to provide breaths during
CPR?
bag mask device
what is likely to cause air to enter the victims stomach( gastric inflation) during
bag mask ventilation?
breaths are given to quickly or with to much force
What are the correct compression and ventilation rates for 2 rescuers CPR in the
prescience of an advanced airway in adult victim?
compress at a rate of at least 100 per min with 2 breaths every 5 to 10 secs
how does complete chest recoil contribute to effective CPR?
allows the heart to refill with blood between compressions
what is the recommended compression- ventilation ratio for 2 rescuer adult CPR?
30:2 for 2 rescuer
to reduce fatigue during CPR, how often should compressions switch roles?
after every 5 cycles of compressions and breaths
what is the recommended compression rate for performing CPR on a victim of
any age?
100 per min
during 2 rescuer CPR, one rescuer will provide chest compressions. what is the
role of the second rescuer?
maintain an open airway and give breaths
why are chest compression important?
they pump blood to the rest of the body
