CPR HOSA QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A
How many people a year have a cardiac arrest? - Ans>>350,000
What are the critical characteristics of high-quality CPR? - Ans>>-starting compressions within 10
seconds of recognizing cardiac arrest
-allowing the chest to recoil after each compression
You know you are giving effective breaths because - Ans>>the chest rises
Chest compressions should be interupted for for minimum of how many seconds to give rescue
breaths? - Ans>>10 seconds
The depth of compressions for an adult is - Ans>>2 inches
Depth of compressions for a child are - Ans>>2 inches
Depth of compressions for infants are - Ans>>1.5 inches
What are the five links to the chain of survival for an adult victim? - Ans>>recognition of cardiac arrest
and activate ems, early cpr, quick defibrillation, effective advanced life support, and integrated post
cardiac care
When multiple rescuers are present, how does the chain of survival work: - Ans>>several steps can be
done simultaneously
Adults in cardiac arrest usually occur - Ans>>suddenly and from a cardiac issue
Children in cardiac arrest usually occur: - Ans>>secondary to respiratory failure, secondary to shock
The pediatric chain of survival is : - Ans>>prevention of arrest, cpr, call ems, advanced life support,
post-cardiac care
The sequence of steps for cpr are now: - Ans>>cab
Why did they change the sequence for CPR? - Ans>>to start compressions sooner
The rate of compressions should be at least 100/min instead of: - Ans>>appromixately 100/min
When performing cpr to an victim you no longer: - Ans>>-check pulse for more than 10 sec
-look listen and feel for breathing
-use cricoid pressure
When using an AED on an infant, what is preferred: - Ans>>-a manual defibrillator
-an AED equipped with a pediatric dose attenuater
-a regular AED if a manual defibrillator or the pedicatric dose attenuater is not available
What are agonal gasps? - Ans>>quick short breaths
If you are alone and find an unresponsive adult victim that is not breathing you should: - Ans>>check
responsiveness and look for breathing, call 911, get AED, check pulse
To check the pulse in an adult, palpate which artery? - Ans>>carotid
To find the carotid pulse you should: - Ans>>-locate the trachea using 2-3 fingers
-slide fingers between the trachea and muscles of the neck
