Which statements apply to providing high-quality chest
compressions? (3)
, Closed-loop communication Communication technique used to prevent misunderstandings; receiver confirms
message has been received & understood.
Critical thinking uses Obtaining an initial impression, determining course of action, anticipating roles &
functions as part of team based on pts presentation/condition, consistently re-

6-Person High-Performance Resuscitation Team Includes 3 who fulfill CPR/defib roles & 3 who perform leadership/supportive roles
Data Manager Responsible for communicating & recording key data during resuscitation effort (i.e.
data r/t med admin & interruptions to chest compressions)
Airway manager & ventilator Responsible for managing airway & providing ventilations. Trained RT, if available,
would fill role
Compressor Responsible for chest compressions
AED/Defibrillator Operator Responsible for managing AED or defibrillator & establishing any other monitoring.
Also, relieves team member performing compressions
Team Leader Responsible for prioritizing & directing other team members' actions.
Medication Administrator Responsible for establishing vascular access & administering medications.
Assess, Recognize & Care Describes ongoing process of gathering data about pt condition, using data to
identify problem & intervening to address problem. Acutely ill pt condition can
change rapidly (for better or worse), you must continuously assess pt, recognize
whats happening & provide care accordingly
