Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

If a patient is unresponsive with a suspected airway obstruction, chest compressions should be initiated immediately to help clear the airway.

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

An AED is used on patients who are unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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.

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

Closed-loop communication ensures that orders are acknowledged and carried out correctly.

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

AED pads should be placed at least 1 inch away from a pacemaker to avoid interference.

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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