Ensure that the scene is safe when you first see a potential victim. |
A person requires CPR who is unresponsive with no normal breathing and no pulse.
|
|
|
Best way to open the airway of an unresponsive victim is head-tilt chin lift. |
Maximum amount of time to check for a pulse 10 seconds.
|
|
|
Bag-mask devices are not recommended for a single rescuer to use during CPR. |
Depth of chest compression's for adult= 2 inches.
|
|
|
If a child victim has a pulse greater than 60 but is not breathing you must give breaths without compression's. |
Compression to ventilation ratio for 1 rescuer adult CPR=30:2
|
|
|
Importance of compressing the appropriate depth during CPR is to create blood flood |
Recommended rate for chest compression's for ALL ages is 100 compression per minute.
|
|
|
To avoid gastric inflation during bag-mask ventilation you only give a breath until you see the chest rise. |
Using an ADE for child less than 8 years old you can use and adult pad/dose if pediatric pad/does attenuator are not available. |
|
|
Correct compression and ventilation rates for rescuer 2 CPR with the presence of an advanced airway is compression's at rate of 100 compression's per minute and give 1 breath every 6-8 seconds. |
During 2 rescuer CPR, on person provides chest compression's and the role of the second rescuer is to maintain an open airway and give breaths. |
|
|
As soon as an AED is available the fist step you should do to operate the AED is turn it on. |
Your hands should be placed on the lower half of the breastbone to perform chest compression's on an adult. |
|
|
After the AED delivers a shock you should immediately restart CPR, beginning with chest compression. |
If a victim has an obstruction in their airway and becomes unresponsive you must send someone to active the emergency response system and then you start CPR beginning with chest compression's. |
|
|
Compression-ventilation ratio for 2 rescuer child CPR is 15:2 |
If you are giving breaths using a bag-mask device to a child who is not breathing but has a pulse you give the breaths at a rate of 1 breath every 3-5 seconds. |
