CPR test

abc

What is step 1 of CPR

Make sure the environment is safe for rescuers and victim. Verify safety.

What is step 2 of CPR

Recognizing cardiac arrest. check pulse for 5 seconds

How do you recognize when cardiac arrest is happening

Check for responsiveness.

No breathing or only gasping.

No definite pulse felt within less than 10 seconds.

What is step 3 of CPR

Activating emergency response team.

Call 9-1-1

If you are with no mobile phone, leave the victim to do what?

Activate emergency response system and get the AED before beginning CPR.

Otherwise send someone and begin CPR immediately and use the AED as soon as it is available.

What is step 4 of CPR

Begin CPR Adults 1 or 2 rescuers 30:2 30 compressions 2 breaths. Infants/kids 1 rescuer 30:2 | 2 or more rescuers 15:2

What is the compression ventilation ratio without advanced airway for adults

continuous compressions at a rate of 100-120/min give 1 breath every 6 seconds (10 breaths a min)

What is the compression ventilation ratio without advanced airway for children and infants

continuous compressions at a rate of 100-120/min give 1 breath every 2-3 seconds (20-30 breaths/min)

What is CPR compression rate

100-120/min

What is the compression depth for an adult

at least 2 inches (5cm)

what is the compression depth for a child

at least one third AP diameter of chest approximately 2 inches (5cm)

what is the compression depth for a infant

At least one third AP approximately 1 ½ inches (4cm)

CPR hand placement for an adult

2 hands on the lower half of the breastbone (sternum)

CPR hand placement for an child

2 hands or 1 hand (optional for child) on the lower half of the breastbone (sternum)

CPR hand placement for an infant with 1 rescuer

2 fingers or thumbs in the center of the chest just below the nipple line.

CPR hand placement for an infant with 2 rescuers

2 thumb-encircling hands in the center of the chest just below the nipple line. If the rescuer is unable to achieve the recommended depth it may be reasonable to use the heel of one hand.

Chest recoil

Allow complete recoil of the chest after each compression. do not lean on the chest after each compression.

Minimizing interruptions

Limit interruptions in chest compressions to less than 10 seconds and a CCF (compressions) goal of 80%

Compressions depth should be no more than

2.4 inches (6cm)

AED meaning

Automated external defibrillator.

AP meaning

Anterior Postierior

CCF meaning

Chest compression fraction

CPR meaning

Cardio pulmonary resuscitaiton.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)?

Heart suddenly stops pumping due to an electrical problem

What is a Heart Attack?

Blood flow to part of the heart muscle is blocked, usually by a clogged artery

are cardiac arrest and a heart attack the same thing

no

5 links of the chain of survival

1. Recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of EMT

2. Early CPR that emphasizes chest compressions.

3. Rapid defibrillation AED

4. Effective advanced life support (EMS going to hospital)

5. Hospital care being treated at hospital.

what is the breathing technique used for giving air

Head tilt chin lift.

term 1 of teamwork CPR Roles

clear roles and responsibilities know limitations.

term 2 of teamwork CPR what to communicate

Knowledge sharing inform others on how to do things correctly.

term 3 of teamwork CPR HOW to communicate

confirm orders make eye contact use clear messages. speak calm and confident. behave professionally and friendly.

CPR Team Role – Compressor

Performs chest compressions.

CPR Team Role – Airway/Breathing

Gives rescue breaths and manages the airway.

CPR Team Role – AED/Defibrillator Operator

Sets up the AED and delivers shocks if needed.

CPR Team Role – Team Leader

Directs the team, calls out timing, monitors CPR quality.

CPR Team Role – Recorder/Timer

Notes times of compressions, shocks, medications, and events.

CPR Team Role – Medication/IV Person

Administers drugs or fluids (hospital setting).

How do you check for responsiveness adult

tapping or shouting

Witnessed collapse

Follow steps for regular CPR

Unwitnessed collapse

Give 2 minutes of CPR leave the victim to call emergency services and get a AED. Use AED as soon as possible
