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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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.

If a choking victim can cough or speak, encourage them to keep coughing rather than immediately performing abdominal thrusts.

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

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

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes prevents rescuer fatigue and ensures continuous, high-quality CPR.

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

For a responsive choking adult, abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) should be used.

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

Visible chest rise is the best indicator that rescue breaths are effectively ventilating the lungs.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive, emergency services should be activated, and CPR should begin immediately.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Defibrillation should be performed as soon as a shockable rhythm is detected by the AED.

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

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

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

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

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