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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A bag-mask device (BVM) is preferred for healthcare providers as it delivers more effective ventilations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-quality chest compressions are the top priority in cardiac arrest, with ventilation as a secondary focus.

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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