Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

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

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

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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