A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pediatric AED pads should be used for children under 8 years old, if available.

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Chest compressions maintain circulation and deliver oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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