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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Unless a valid DNR order is confirmed, resuscitation efforts should begin.

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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