Pull the person out of the water and wipe chest 1 person preforming cpr on a child, two others arrive, what should occur next? Two rescuers should alternate giving high-quality chest compressions Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action
supports 2-rescuer CPR? alternate the compressor role every 2 minutes You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. you phone 911. What should you do next? Begin CPR, the gasps are not normal breathing Why is defibrillation important? It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm When the AED arrives, what is the first step for using it? Turn on the AED After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED? Follow the AED prompts
You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say to offer constructive feedback? "You need to compress at a rate of 100-120 per minute" Early defibrillation is a link in the adult Chain of Survival. Why is this important to survival? It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm What special circumstance should a rescuer consider when using an AED?

Has no normal breathing and no pulse Which characteristics of chest compressions in high quality cpr are given to a child? At least 1/3 the depth of the chest, 2 inches Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR? The heart will adequately refill between compressions
When you are preforming cpr on an unresponsive person whom you know is choking, what modification should you incorporate?

Preform cpr and look in the mouth for the obstructing object before you give each breath. When should rescuers switch positions during CPR? Switch rescuers about every 2 minutes You notice the person giving chest compressions is not allowing for complete chest recoil. What is your next course of action? tell the compressor you notice decreased chest recoil

What is the correct hand placement when providing compressions on an adult? the heel of the hand on center of the breastbone, middle of the nipple line What should you do after the AED delivers a shock? resume compressions What is the compression-ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer adult, child, and infant CPR? 30:2 for children and adults, 15:2 for infants What is the recommended rate of breaths when a child has a pulse? one breath every 3-5 seconds How should you provide chest compressions to an infant during 2-rescuer CPR? the two-thumbs encircling technique What is the sequence of steps for an infant who is choking? Child? Adult? infant: five back slaps, then five chest compressions child & adult: chest compressions

With a pocket mask or face shield? by looking at chest rise Which duty is most important to alternate to support a team approach with three rescuers? compressions What are the components of positive team dynamics? knowing your role, knowing your limits, and having proper communication What is the first course of action when a victim with a blocked airway becomes unresponsive?
What should you do for an unresponsive adult, who has no pulse and is only gasping? begin CPR A 67 year old man is found unresponsive,not breathing and without a pulse. You and a second rescuer begin preforming high quality CPR you notice the person giving chest compressions is not allowing to complete chest recoil what is your next course of action? Tell the compressor you notice in decreased chest recoil A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. What actions should occur next to support a team based rescutation attempt Two rescuers should alternate giving high-quality chest compressions. A 53-year-old woman collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse. A neighbor, who is an emergency medical technician, rushes to her with an AED.
