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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

Switching roles every 2 minutes minimizes interruptions and maintains high-quality CPR.

The first step is to turn on the AED before attaching pads and following voice prompts.

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

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

To minimize interruptions in care, breathing and pulse checks should be performed simultaneously, taking no more than 10 seconds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closed-loop communication ensures that orders are acknowledged and carried out correctly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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