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

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

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

When a shockable rhythm is detected, defibrillation should be performed as soon as possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive and pulseless, CPR should begin immediately, starting with compressions.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

The best way to ensure effective ventilation is by observing visible chest rise with each breath.

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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