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

The first step after turning on an AED is attaching the electrode pads.

The first step after turning on an AED is attaching the electrode pads.

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

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes ensures high-quality compressions without fatigue.

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

Pulse checks should be limited to 10 seconds to avoid delaying CPR.

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

Over-ventilation can increase intrathoracic pressure, reducing venous return and cardiac output.

An AED analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers a shock if a shockable rhythm is present.

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

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

AED pads should be placed at least 1 inch away from a pacemaker to avoid interference.

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

Reassessment should occur every 5 cycles of CPR (about 2 minutes) unless an AED prompts earlier evaluation.

AED pads should be placed at least 1 inch away from a pacemaker to ensure proper function.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

Once an advanced airway is in place, continuous compressions are given with 1 breath every 6 seconds.

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

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

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

Rescuers should switch every 2 minutes to maintain high-quality CPR and prevent fatigue.

CPR should continue until the patient shows signs of life, an AED prompts a shock or no shock, or another trained provider takes over.

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

For a choking infant, back slaps and chest thrusts should be used instead of abdominal thrusts.

Unlike adults, the most common cause of cardiac arrest in infants and children is respiratory failure leading to hypoxia.

Switching roles every 2 minutes prevents rescuer fatigue and minimizes interruptions.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

If a choking victim can cough or speak, encourage them to keep coughing rather than immediately performing abdominal thrusts.

Rescue breathing is recommended for victims with a pulse but inadequate breathing.

Rescuers should switch every 2 minutes (or 5 cycles of compressions) to maintain high-quality CPR.

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

Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.

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

Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.

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

High-quality chest compressions are the top priority in cardiac arrest, with ventilation as a secondary focus.

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

High-quality CPR for adults requires compressions at least 2 inches deep at a rate of 100-120 per minute.

Rescue breathing is recommended for victims with a pulse but inadequate breathing.

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

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

Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.

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

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

For two-rescuer infant CPR, the correct ratio is 15:2, not 30:2.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

For suspected spinal injuries, the jaw thrust maneuver is used instead of head tilt-chin lift to maintain spinal alignment.

For children with a pulse but no normal breathing, provide rescue breaths at a rate of 12-20 per minute.

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.
