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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

Visible chest rise is the best indicator that rescue breaths are effectively ventilating the lungs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Before starting CPR, check for a pulse for no more than 10 seconds to determine if compressions are needed.

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

To minimize interruptions in care, breathing and pulse checks should be performed simultaneously, taking no more than 10 seconds.

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes minimizes interruptions and maintains high-quality CPR.

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Over-ventilation can lead to increased intrathoracic pressure, reducing venous return and cardiac output.
