The recommended compression rate is 100-120 compressions 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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