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

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

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.

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

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

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

Single-rescuer infant CPR follows the 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio, just like adults.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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.
