First Aid Review

Vocabulary and protocol flashcards reviewing the check, call, and care phases of first aid, CPR compression and ventilation guidelines, choking management, and emergency classifications.

First question in the CHECK phase

"Is the scene safe?"

Additional scene assessment considerations

Assessing for critical phase, body fluids, and debris.

Determining unconsciousness in an adult

Performing "Tap shoulder, are you okay?"

Next action when an adult is unresponsive

Begin the CALL phase and get help.

Timing for donning gloves

Anytime before the CARE phase or checking for breathing.

CALL phase actions

Collecting available customer information using the MedLink app, alerting cabin crew, calling for AED and medical equipment, contacting MedLink, notifying pilots, and calling for a licensed medical professional.

CARE phase breathing check

The phase during which checking for breathing occurs.

Breathing check procedure

Using the head tilt/chin lift method and looking, listening, and feeling while facing towards the body for no more than 10 seconds.

Child and infant CPR ratio

30 compressions to 2 breaths.

Adult CPR compression depth

At least 2 inches.

Pocket mask ventilation technique

Performing the head tilt/chin lift method, using hands to ensure a complete seal of the mask, and breathing into the valve of the mask.

Infant pocket mask placement

Placed upside down over the nose and mouth.

Protocol for failed breath delivery (children and infants)

Reposition the head and provide 2 more breaths.

Initial action for a non-breathing infant or child

Give 2 rescue breaths to determine if the airway is blocked.

Criteria for stopping CPR

When an AED becomes ready to use, the rescuer is too exhausted to continue, MedLink advises to stop, or the customer shows obvious signs of breathing.

Conscious choking intervention

Performing a combination of 5 back blows followed by 5 abdominal/chest thrusts.

Modified CPR technique

A procedure administered for an unconscious person with an obstructed airway: delivering 30 chest compressions, checking for a foreign object, and giving 2 rescue breaths.

Signs of a choking conscious infant

The infant cannot cough, cannot breathe, and cannot cry.

Types of breathing emergencies

Respiratory distress and respiratory arrest.

Cardiac Arrest

Occurs when the normal beating of the heart stops and the heart begins rapid, ineffective contractions which fail to pump blood through the body.

Three types of burns

Chemical, electrical, and thermal.
