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

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

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

Before starting CPR, check for a pulse for no more than 10 seconds to determine if compressions are needed.

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

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.

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 prevents rescuer fatigue and minimizes interruptions.

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

Once an advanced airway is in place, continuous compressions are given with 1 breath every 6 seconds.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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