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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pulse checks should be performed approximately every 2 minutes when providing rescue breathing.

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

Rescue breathing should be initiated for a patient with a pulse but no normal breathing.

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

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

For infants, the correct pulse check location is the brachial artery (inside the upper arm).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For children, compress the chest at least 1/3 of its diameter (about 2 inches or 5 cm).

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

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

Infant chest compressions should be at least 1/3 of the chest depth, approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm).

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

For an unresponsive, pulseless patient, immediate chest compressions are the priority.

High-quality chest compressions help circulate oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.

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

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

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

The best method is to tap the patient and shout to assess for responsiveness.

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

If a patient is unresponsive with a suspected airway obstruction, chest compressions should be initiated immediately to help clear the airway.

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

If the patient has a pulse but is not breathing, rescue breathing should be provided with continuous monitoring.
