1. Course Overview: Chain of survival
High Quality CPR for adults, a child, and an infant
How to use an AED
Effective team dynamics in multi-rescuer resuscitation
How to treat Special Considerations in basic life support
How to relieve Foreign-body airway obstruction for an adult, a child and an infant
2. What is the correct order of steps in the In-Hospital Chain of Survival for
adults?
-High Quality CPR
-Early Recognition and prevention
-Post Cardiac Arrest Care
-Defibrillation
-Activation of Emergency Response
-Recovery: 1. Early Recognition and prevention
2.Activation of Emergency Response
3.High Quality CPR
4.Defibrillation
5.Post Cardiac Arrest Care
6.Recovery
3. What are the correct actions to take for Scene Safety and Assessment: -Look
for no breathing and only gasping and check pulse (scan victims chest for rise and
fall for no more than 10 sec) (Check carotid pulse)
-Verify Scene Safety
-Check for Responsiveness (Tap shoulders, Shout 'Are you OK?")
- Activate the Emergency Response System and get an AED (Activate ERS via
mobile device) (Get the AED or send someone to do)
4. To minimize delay in starting CPR you may.....: Assess breathing and pulse at
the same time. (no more than 10 sec)
5. What do we know about gasping?: Gasping is not normal breathing and is a
sign of cardiac arrest.

6. Pulse check on an adult: 1. Locate the Trachea (on the side closest to you),
using 2 or 3 fingers
2. Slide those fingers into the grove between the trachea and the muscles at the side
of the neck, where you can feel the carotid pulse
3. Feel for a pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds (No pulse, begin CPR
starting with chest compressions)
7. What is the correct chest compression rate for adults ?: 100 to 120/min
8. What can Feedback devices monitor?: - Compression Depth
- Compression Rate
- Chest Recoil
Feedback devices can monitor CPR and provide real-time feedback
9. How do you open the airway for breaths if SINGLE RESCUER is present?: -
Head tilt - Chin lift
Step 1
One hand on the victims forehead, push with palm to tilt head back.
Step 2
Place fingers of the other hand under the bony part of the lower jaw, near the chin.
Step 3
Lift the jaw to bring the chin forward.
10. When using a pocket mask, where should the rescuer be positioned?: At
the side of the victim
11. Bag Mask Device: -Provides positive-pressure ventilation
-May be used with or without oxygen flow, provides about 21% oxygen from air
-Bag attached to a face mask
-May include a 1 way valve depending on device
12. After positioning yourself directly above the victim's head, what is the
correct order of steps for using a bag-mask device?: 1. Place Mask on Victims
