Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

For an unresponsive, pulseless patient, immediate chest compressions are the priority.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

Pulse checks should be limited to 10 seconds to avoid delaying CPR.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

For children, compress the chest at least 1/3 of its diameter (about 2 inches or 5 cm).

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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