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

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

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

Breaths should be delivered over 1 second each to produce visible chest rise.

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes prevents rescuer fatigue and minimizes interruptions.

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

An AED analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers a shock if a shockable rhythm is present.

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

AED pads should be placed at least 1 inch away from a pacemaker to ensure proper function.

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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