• 30:2 compressions over breaths (seal mouth and nose) - 2 Rescuers 15:2

• 2 Rescuers: 2 thumbs compression

CPR for Children (Age 1 Year to Puberty)

• Witnessed Collapse: call 911 or have someone call

• Un-Witnessed Collapse: perform CPR (for 2 minutes), call 911 or have someone call

• Compressions at about 2 inches (5 cm) - 1/3 AP diameter of chest

• 30:2 compressions over breaths - 2 Rescuers 15:2

• 2 Rescuers: Perform tasks simultaneously

• Chest compressions - 100-120/min

• 2 Rescuers: Perform tasks simultaneously

• Perform CPR – Circulate, Airway, Breathing (C-A-B’s)

• Compressions at about 2 inches (5 cm)

• 30:2 compressions over breaths

• Use AED as soon as it's available

airway management

Oxygenation and ________ should be prioritized during resuscitation from cardiac arrest in pregnancy because pregnant patients are more prone to hypoxia.

Fetal monitoring

This should not be undertaken during cardiac arrest in pregnancy because of potential interference with maternal resuscitation.

Naloxone (Narcan)

Treatment for suspected opioid poisoning

Compression-only

Untrained rescuers should provide _______ CPR since it's easy for an operator (dispatcher) to provide and guide instructions over the telephone.

Emergency Response System

Remember, it is a priority to activate the ________ immediately and to provide chest compressions.

Automated External Defibrillator

AED is a device used to restore normal heart rhythm. It stands for?

If the patient regains a pulse, if the area becomes unsafe if cardiac arrest lasts longer than 30 minutes if the rescuer(s) is too exhausted, ordered to stop or if Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrives. Or, if these complications arise: Fractures, punctures, lung ruptures or collapses, rib separation, bruises of the heart and/or lungs.

When to STOP CPR

Ventricular Tachycardia

A rapid heartbeat that begins at the Ventricles. It can be very life-threatening because it can lead to Ventricular Fibrillation.

Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib)

When the cardiac muscles quiver rather than contract. It requires immediate medical response.
