Exam 2 Review: CPR and Emergency Response Skills

Ventilation rate for child in respiratory arrest

1 ventilation every 2 to 3 seconds

Life threatening condition for panicked child

Choking

Respiration

The process of moving oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body's cells

Ventilation

The mechanical process of moving air into and out of the body

Hypoxia

Low oxygen levels

Interruptions to chest compressions during CPR

Keep to less than 10 seconds

Chest compression depth for adult CPR

At least 2 inches

Signs of life check frequency for adult CPR

Never

CCF

An indicator of CPR quality; represents the percentage of time during the resuscitation effort spent performing chest compressions

ROSC

Return of spontaneous circulation

Ventilation rate for infant in respiratory arrest

1 every 2-3 seconds

EMS System

A network of professionals linked together to provide the best care for people in all types of emergencies

Pulse check duration after opening airway

No more than 10 seconds

Compression-to-ventilation ratio for single rescuer CPR on an infant

30:2

Abandonment

Ending care of an ill or injured person without that person's consent or without ensuring that someone with equal or greater training will continue that care.

Head position for ventilation with resuscitation mask

Slightly past neutral position

Pulse check location on an infant

Brachial

AED pad placement on adult in cardiac arrest

Upper right side, lower left side

Compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-rescuer CPR on a child

15:2

Patient reassessment frequency during rescue breaths

Every 2 minutes

Consent

Means permission to give care.

Medical emergency signs after collapse

Cardiac arrest

Chest compression depth for infant CPR

1.5 inches

Standard precautions

Safety measures you should take with every person to protect yourself and others from pathogens that are transmitted in blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials.

Compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-rescuer CPR on an adult

15:2

Respiratory arrest

Condition where a patient is not breathing but has a pulse.

Agonal breaths

Isolated or infrequent gasps.

AED pad placement for infants

Front middle of the chest and on the back between shoulder blades.

Recovery position

Position to place an unconscious patient who is breathing and has a pulse.

Chest compression rate

Correct range for performing chest compressions is 100-120 per minute.

Negligence

Failure to do what a reasonable and careful person would be expected to do in a given situation.

Implied consent

Applies when a minor needs emergency medical assistance and the minor's parent or guardian is not present.

Choking response for child/adult

Perform 5 back blows followed by 5 abdominal thrusts.

PPE

Stands for Personal Protective Equipment.

Pulse check in adults

Check for a pulse in the carotid artery.

Scene size-up

Assess the scene to identify safety hazards and evaluate the number of injured or ill people.

Initial impression

Form an initial impression of the person, noting any life-threatening conditions.

Airway opening methods

Three methods are head tilt/chin lift, jaw thrust with head extension, and modified jaw thrust.

Secondary assessment components

Includes focused history (SAMPLE) and focused exam.

Chest thrusts for choking

Used when you cannot reach far enough around the patient for abdominal thrusts, the person is pregnant, or in a wheelchair.

Adult Chain of Survival

Includes recognition of a cardiac emergency, early high-quality CPR, early defibrillation, advanced life support, and integrated post-cardiac arrest care.

Pediatric Chain of Survival

Includes prevention, recognition of the cardiac emergency, early high-quality CPR, pediatric advanced life support, and integrated post-cardiac arrest care.
