BLS/CPR
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Main Parts of BLS | Chest Compressions Airway Breathing Defibrillation |
Initial Steps for Adults | 1. Assess the victim for a response 2. Activate Emergency response system (get AED if available) 3. Check for Pulse (no more than 10s) 4. 5 cycles of compressions and breaths (30:2) |
Compressions and breaths pneumonic | C-A-B Compressions, check airway, breaths |
Where is the pulse taken on an adult | Carotid Pulse |
How much air is breathed into an adult | Deliver air over 1 second until victim's chest rises, whether or not supplemental O2 is used |
With two rescuers how many cycles are preformed before a switch | 5 |
How long should 5 cycles take | 2 minutes |
How should the airway be opened if spine injury is suspected | Jaw Thrust |
Steps to operating an AED | 1. Power on 2. Attach pads (upper right chest and lower left under nipple) 3. "Clear victim and analyze rhythm 4. If shock is need it will tell you to clear victim 5. if no shock needed, and after any shock, resume CPR 6. AED will reanalyze after 5 |
Can an AED be used if victim is on snow or in a small puddle | YES |
Can an AED be used if victim has a pace maker | yes, just don't place pad directly over it |
Compression-ventilation ratio for CHILD 2-rescuer CPR | 15:2 |
Compression depth for children | 1/3 of chest depth or APPROXIMATELY 2 inches |
Where are compressions done on an adult | lower half of breast bone |
Adult compression depth | AT LEAST 2 inch |
Adult compression rate | 100/min |
When should the emergency response be activated for a CHILD | -If arrest no witnessed and alone=proved 2 min CPR first -If arrest is sudden and witnessed=leave to activate and get AED |
Child Compression-ventilation ratio for 1-rescuer CPR | 30:2 |
Where to check pulse for child | Femoral or Carotid |
Where to check pulse for infant | Brachial |
Technique for delivering compression to infant | Single rescuer - 2 fingers 2 rescuer - 2 thumb-encircling hands |
Compression depth for child | 1/3 chest depth or 1 1/2 inches |
Compression-ventilation ratio for INFANT 2-rescuer CPR | 15:2 |
When should the emergency response be activated for a INFANT | -If arrest no witnessed and alone=proved 2 min CPR first -If arrest is sudden and witnessed=leave to activate and get AED |
Compression-ventilation ratio for INFANT 1-rescuer CPR | 30:2 |
Where to give chest compression to an infant | cent of chest just bellow nipple line |
Compression-ventilation ratio for Advanced Airway | -Compression of 100/min without pauses for breaths -1 breath every 6-8 seconds (8-10 breaths/min) |
If a victims chest doesn't rise after two attempts at giving breaths what should be done next | Compressions |
When should breaths be given without chest compressions | When a victim has a pulse but is not breathing effectively |
Rescue Breathing for an adult with no chest compressions | 1 breath every 5-6 seconds (10-12 breaths/min) |
Rescue Breathing for a child/infant with no chest compressions | 1 breath every 3-5 seconds (12-20 breaths/min) |
