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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The correct compression depth for adult CPR is at least 2 inches (5 cm).

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

Each breath should be given over 1 second with just enough volume to see the chest rise.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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