Resuscitation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Give at least three signs of an airway obstruction, and explain why an airway obstruction is life-threatening. | grasping the throat with the hands, making aggressive efforts to cough and breathe, and producing a high pitched sound while inhaling. It interferes with ventilation and deprives cells and tissues of oxygen. |
| Describe appropriate actions if a client has a partial airway obstruction. | encouraging and supporting the victim's efforts to clear the obstruction independently and preparing to call for emergency assistance if the victim's condition worsens. |
| Explain the purpose of the Heimlich maneuver and describe the circumstances for using subdiaphragmatic and chest thrusts. | a technique used to relieve a complete airway obstruction using a series of subdiaphragmatic thrusts. The thrusts are appropriate for almost all adults and children beyond infancy. |
| Identify the recommended action for relieving an airway obstruction in an infant and in an unconscious person. | infants- the rescuer delivers a series of back blows followed by a series of chest thrusts. Unconscious- CPR because chest compressions create enough pressure to eject the foreign object from body. |
| List the five steps in the Chain of Survival. | immediate recognition and access of emergency services, early CPR (compression focused) rapid defibrillation if appropriate, effective advanced life support, intergrated postcardiac arrest care. |
| Explain cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the associated steps in Circulation, Airway, and Breathing (CAB). | administering chest compressions hard and fast, opening the airway to assess for the presence of spontaneous breathing, and performing rescue breathing. |
| Describe the purpose of chest compression. | promote circulation, increase pressure in thoracic blood vessels, promoting systemic blood flow. |
| Name two techniques for opening the airway and list three ways a trained rescuer administers rescue breathing. | using the head tilt/chin lift technique or the jaw-thrust maneuver. rescue breathing are mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-nose, and mouth-to-stoma or using a one way valve mask if available. |
| Discuss the appropriate use of an automated external defibrillator. | used as rapidly as possible, within 2 minutes once CPR has begun. |
| Name at least three criteria used in the decision to discontinue resuscitation efforts. | the time elapsed before resuscitation began, the length of time that resuscitation has continued without any change in the victim's condition, and the age and diagnosis of the victim. |
