best way for rescuer to see if rescue breath is working on an infant is to see | chest rises visibly |
how do you check for adequate breathing before giving breaths to an adult | listen for airflow from the nose/mouth |
what is the next step if you find a victim unresponsive, is experincing agonal gasps & the EMS has been activated | open airway, give 2 breaths |
how do you know when to start cycle of chest compressions w/breaths for adults | they are unresponsive, not breathing, no pulse |
which best describes how a 2-team rescue performs CPR on an infant | swithch to cycles of 15/2, 1 giving compressions & 1 giving breaths, switching every 2 min. |

when using an AED on an adult & it says "do not shock" what do you do | leave pads on victim & continue CPR |
what is the best way to relieve chocking on a responsive adult | abdominal thrusts |

finding an unresponsive infant, when do you active the EMS | after giving 5 cycles of CPR |
what is the best action to relieve chocking in a responsive infant | begin cycles of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts |
describe why you should minimize interruptions in chest compressions | increases the victims chance of survival |
