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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes prevents rescuer fatigue and ensures continuous, high-quality CPR.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

In BLS, medication administration is not a designated role—this falls under ACLS-level care.

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Early defibrillation is the most critical step in increasing survival rates for patients in cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm.

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

Closed-loop communication ensures that orders are acknowledged and carried out correctly.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

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