This American Heart Association CPR Test 2026/2027 study guide contains 25 exam questions with correct answers across 6 pages, focusing on essential CPR and emergency cardiovascular response concepts. The document begins with high-quality adult CPR and AED operation, including adult chest-compression depth, turning on an AED, responding to AED prompts, preparing a wet victim for AED use, obtaining visible chest rise with a bag-mask device, and considerations when AED pads are used on a hairy chest. The guide provides focused review of adult, child and infant CPR procedures. Students encounter the 30:2 compression-to-breath ratio for single-rescuer infant CPR, child chest-compression depth, recognition of cardiac arrest, complete chest recoil and the recommended compression rate presented in the document. It also emphasizes recognizing that gasping is not normal breathing and beginning CPR when a victim is unresponsive, has no normal breathing and has no pulse. Another major topic is AED use and rapid defibrillation. Questions review the initial steps for operating an AED, responding when ventricular fibrillation is detected, safely using an AED after water exposure and understanding why rapid defibrillation is an important link in the adult Chain of Survival. The document connects defibrillation with eliminating an abnormal heart rhythm and potentially restoring a regular cardiac rhythm. The material also covers foreign-body airway obstruction and choking emergencies in adults and infants. It reviews starting CPR when a choking victim becomes unresponsive, checking for a visible obstructing object when opening the airway, and the response to severe airway obstruction in a responsive infant. The document specifically presents sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts for the responsive choking-infant scenario and CPR with inspection for an obstructing object for an unresponsive infant. Team-based resuscitation is another important exam area. Questions address alternating compressors approximately every 2 minutes, maintaining clear roles and responsibilities, knowing individual limitations, providing constructive feedback and correcting inadequate chest recoil or a slowing compression rate. These scenario-based questions help students review communication and teamwork alongside practical CPR performance. Relevant students: CPR certification students, American Heart Association course participants, BLS students, nursing students, CNA students, EMT and EMS trainees, medical assistant students, healthcare professionals refreshing CPR knowledge, and learners preparing for assessments covering adult, child and infant CPR, AED operation, choking and team-based resuscitation.
