CPR Questions and Answers 100% Pass
CPR ✔✔Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation;
a lifesaving first aid procedure that combines rescue breaths with chest compressions
defibrillation ✔✔the use of electrical shock to restore the heart's normal rhythm
Advanced Life Support ✔✔The use of specialized equipment such as cardiac monitors,
defibrillators, intravenous fluids, drug infusion, endotracheal intubation to stabilize a patients
condition
Cardiac arrest ✔✔an event in which the heart abruptly stops or develops a very abnormal
arrhythmia that prevents it from pumping blood

bag
AED ✔✔Automated External Defibrillator;
a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia's
of ventricular fibrillation
