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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

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

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

CPR should continue until the patient shows signs of life, an AED prompts a shock or no shock, or another trained provider takes over.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

For suspected spinal injuries, the jaw thrust maneuver is used instead of head tilt-chin lift to maintain spinal alignment.

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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