The E-C clamp technique ensures a tight seal while lifting the jaw for an open airway.

The carotid artery is the preferred site for pulse assessment in unresponsive adults.

Chest compressions keep oxygenated blood circulating to the brain and heart until normal function is restored.

Rescue breaths should be given before starting chest compressions in drowning victims.

For suspected spinal injury, the jaw thrust maneuver should be used instead of head tilt-chin lift.

The first step is to turn on the AED before attaching pads and following voice prompts.

Rescue breathing is the correct response if the patient has a pulse but no breathing.

For adult CPR, compressions should be performed with two hands, one on top of the other, placed on the lower half of the sternum.

In a hospital setting, bag-mask ventilation is the preferred method for delivering rescue breaths.

High-quality CPR for children requires compressing at least 1/3 of the chest depth (about 2 inches or 5 cm).

Gasping (agonal breathing) is not normal breathing and should not delay CPR.

Unless a valid DNR order is confirmed, resuscitation efforts should begin.

The recommended compression rate is 100-120 compressions per minute.

The recommended compression rate is 100-120 compressions per minute.

The two-thumb encircling hands technique is the preferred method for two-rescuer infant CPR, as it provides better depth and control.

Shifting the uterus to the left reduces pressure on the inferior vena cava, improving circulation.

Equal chest rise and fall confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

For infants, responsiveness is assessed by tapping the bottom of the foot and shouting.

If a patient has a pulse but is not breathing adequately, healthcare providers should provide rescue breathing without chest compressions.

Defibrillation should be performed as soon as a shockable rhythm is detected by the AED.

For adults with an advanced airway, ventilation should be given at a rate of 1 breath every 6 seconds.

For a single rescuer, the correct ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

For a single rescuer, the correct ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

Agonal gasps are not normal breathing and should not delay CPR.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

Most AEDs are programmed to reanalyze the heart rhythm every 2 minutes.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

Breathing assessment should take no more than 10 seconds to avoid delaying CPR.

Rescue breathing is the correct response if the patient has a pulse but no breathing.

Ventilations should be given every 6 seconds when an advanced airway is in place.

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive and pulseless, CPR should begin immediately, starting with compressions.

The correct compression depth for adult CPR is at least 2 inches (5 cm).

Single-rescuer infant CPR follows the 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio, just like adults.

If the AED does not advise a shock, rescuers should immediately resume CPR.

The best way to ensure effective ventilation is by observing visible chest rise with each breath.

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive, emergency services should be activated, and CPR should begin immediately.

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

For two-rescuer infant CPR, the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio is 15:2.

Agonal breathing is a sign of cardiac arrest and CPR should be initiated.

Clear role assignment and minimizing interruptions optimize CPR quality in a team setting.

Once an advanced airway is in place, continuous compressions should be given at 100-120 per minute without pausing for breaths.

The two-thumb encircling technique is preferred for two-rescuer infant CPR, while single rescuers typically use two fingers.

A bag-mask device (BVM) is preferred for healthcare providers as it delivers more effective ventilations.

If there is any doubt about the presence of a pulse, start chest compressions immediately.

Rescue breaths should be given before starting chest compressions in drowning victims.

Rescue breathing is the correct response if the patient has a pulse but no breathing.

Chest compressions maintain circulation and deliver oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.

An AED is used on patients who are unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing.

Breaths should be delivered over 1 second each to produce visible chest rise.

For single-rescuer infant CPR, use two fingers just below the nipple line to perform compressions.

For adults with a pulse but not breathing, provide 1 breath every 5-6 seconds.

Each breath should be given over 1 second with just enough volume to see the chest rise.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.
