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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

When a shockable rhythm is detected, defibrillation should be performed as soon as possible.

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

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For a responsive choking adult, abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) should be used.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

After a shock is delivered, chest compressions should resume immediately to maintain circulation.

Chest compressions should continue while the AED is charging to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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