PHS - CPR
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the ratio for compression to breathes in CPR | 30:2 |
| how deep should you compress in an adult | 2 in |
| how often should you switch who is giving CPR | about 2 minutes, 5 cycles, or when the compressor gets tired. |
| what is an important step in giving breathes to open the airway | tilt the head back |
| what should you allow the chest to | recoil |
| How deep should you compress a child's chest? | About 2 inches, or at least 1/3 the depth of the chest |
| Why is complete chest recoil important? | It allows the heart to adequately refill between compressions. |
| What should you do if another rescuer is not allowing complete chest recoil? | Remind them to allow complete chest recoil. |
| An adult has no pulse and is not breathing normally. What do they need? | High quality CPR |
| Are agonal gasps considered normal breathing? | NO |
| A person is unresponsive, has no pulse, and is gasping. What should you do? | Begin CPR. |
| What is the first step when an AED arrives? | Turn on the AED and follow its prompts. |
| Where should AED pads be placed? | On the patient's bare chest. |
| What should you do when the AED is analyzing the rhythm? | Clear the patient so no one is touching them. |
| The AED says, “Shock advised.” What should you do before delivering the shock? | Make sure everyone is clear of the patient. |
| What should you do immediately after an AED delivers a shock? | Resume CPR. |
| Why is early defibrillation important? | It may restore a regular heart rhythm. |
| What should you do before using an AED on someone who was submerged in water? | Remove them from the water and wipe/dry the chest. |
| Can an AED be used on someone with an implanted pacemaker? | Yes |
| What might you need to do if excessive chest hair prevents AED pads from sticking? | Remove the chest hair. |
| What should you do with a medication patch where an AED pad needs to be placed? | remove transdermal patches before using the AED |
| What is the compression to ventilation ratio for 1 rescuer infant CPR? | 30:2 |
| What is the compression to ventilation ratio for 2 rescuer child CPR? | 15:2 |
| What is the compression to ventilation ratio for 1 rescuer child CPR? | 30:2 |
| What is the compression to ventilation ratio for adult CPR? | 30:2 |
| A second rescuer arrives while you are performing CPR on a child. What important equipment should they retrieve? | AED |
| What pulse sites can be used for a child? | Carotid or femoral |
| What pulse site is commonly checked on an infant? | Brachial |
| What is the correct compression rate for a child? | 100 to 120/min |
| Is the CPR compression rate different for adults, children, and infants? | No, it is 100 to 120/min for all ages. |
| How can you tell whether bag mask ventilations are effective? | Look for visible chest rise with each ventilation. |
| Should bag mask breaths be delivered quickly and forcefully? | No. 1 sec, 2 within 10 seconds |
| What is a sign that a responsive infant has a severe airway obstruction? | The infant cannot make noise or effectively cough. |
| What should you do for a responsive infant with a severe airway obstruction? | Alternate 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts. |
| How many back blows are given to a choking infant at a time? | 5 |
| How many chest thrusts are given to a choking infant at a time? | 5 |
| A choking infant becomes unresponsive. What should you begin? | CPR |
| When performing CPR on an unresponsive choking person, what should you do each time you open the airway? | Look for the obstructing object. |
| Should you perform a blind finger sweep on a choking patient? | No. |
| A person with a foreign body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What should you do first? | Start CPR beginning with chest compressions. |
| If you can see an obstructing object in the mouth during CPR, what should you do? | Remove the visible object. |
| What is one of the most important actions for improving survival from sudden cardiac arrest? | Performing high quality CPR |
| What does the Recognition and Emergency Activation link in the Chain of Survival include? | Recognizing cardiac arrest and calling 911/activating the emergency response system. |
| What team dynamic means everyone knows their position, function, and task? | Clear roles and responsibilities |
| What team dynamic means team members recognize their boundaries and ask for help? | Knowing your limitations |
| What should you do if you notice another team member performing a CPR skill incorrectly? | Provide constructive feedback/intervention. |
| Why should interruptions in chest compressions be minimized? | To maintain high quality CPR and blood flow. |
| Your partner is compressing at an inconsistent rate. What rate should you remind them to maintain? | 100 to 120 compressions/min |
| What should rescuers avoid when providing ventilations? | Excessive ventilation |
| During 2 rescuer CPR, what are the two primary roles? | Compressor and airway/ventilation rescuer |
| What are the major components of high quality CPR? | Correct compression rate and depth, complete chest recoil, minimal interruptions, and effective ventilations. |
