other combustible materials.
✔✔When multiple providers are available for AED use what positions do they take 1-3?
- ✔✔#1 Preforms rapid assessment and initiates CPR
#2 Calls for additional resources and gets and prepares the AED
#3 Assists In ventilations
The person giving Compressions calls Switch every 2 minutes taking less than 10
seconds to do so switching with the #1 position.
✔✔Methods of Evaluation of cpr quality include what? - ✔✔Visual observation
Feedback devices
Calculations of chest compression fraction and capnography

Breast development/ underarm hair in boys
Around age 12
✔✔Key differences between adult, child and infant BLS are? - ✔✔Rapid assessment
Compression technique
Compression depth
Ventilations and size of appropriate breathing barriers
Cpr with advanced airways in place
Use of AED
✔✔Child/infant CALL first when? - ✔✔You SEE a child collapse or for a child or infant
with Known cardiac conditions.
(You SEE them FALL, you have time to CALL)
(You find them DOWN get on the GROUND and do CPR)
✔✔Child /infant CARE first when? - ✔✔You did NOT SEE them collapse
Give 2 minutes care and then call
✔✔Hypoxic - ✔✔low oxygen
, ✔✔Hypoxic event - ✔✔Asthma , drowning, airway obstruction

✔✔Cpr in a Child you must check for what 2 things at the same time? - ✔✔Breathing
and Carotid pulse under neck.
(Letter C for child=carotid pulse)
✔✔Child or Infant ventilations are done how often? - ✔✔Every 3-5 seconds
✔✔Cpr in a Infant you must check for what 2 things at same time? - ✔✔Brachial pulse
under arm and Breathing
(Letter B = Baby= Brachial pulse)
✔✔A part of a rapid assessment is ? - ✔✔Simultaneously checking for breathing and a
pulse. On side closet to you.
(Do Not lean to get pulse from other side )
✔✔Proper hand placement for Cpr is on the ? - ✔✔Lower Sternum
Lower part of the Breast bone
Above the Xiphoid process
✔✔Infants with a head neck, spinal, hip, or pelvic injury should Not be placed in a ——
——- position - ✔✔Recovery position unless you cannot manage the airway effectively
or you are alone and don't have a phone. (Life over limb)
✔✔Recovery position for an infant is - ✔✔Face down along your forearm supporting the
infants head while keeping the mouth and nose clear.
✔✔When multiple providers are available for an infant in cardiac arrest where should
the provider be standing to do compressions? - ✔✔At the Feet with Both Thumbs side
by side just below the nipple line.
Giving 1 1/2 inch depth ( or 1/3 depth of chest) compressions at a rate of 100-120 per
minute with full recoil )
✔✔Children and infants in Respiratory Arrest give ventilations every ——— seconds -
✔✔3-5 seconds
for Children and infants in Respiratory Arrest
✔✔Multi provider compression to ventilations ratio in children and infants is - ✔✔15-2
Compressions to ventilations
✔✔When Advanced Airways are in place one provider gives 1 ventilation every ——-
seconds - ✔✔6-8 seconds
