BLS AHA FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED TO PASS

emphasis on high-quality CPR compression rate of at least ___ per minute. - 100 depth of compressions for children to adult - 2 inches depth of compression for infants - 1/3 of anterior/posterior diameter of chest. 1 1/2" compressions should be started what time limit? - 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest. what are the signs of cardiac arrest? - victim is unresponsive/not breathing/ineffective breathing time frame to start cpr once suspect of cardia arrest? - 10 seconds. you should take no longer than___ seconds to check for a _______. - 10, pulse what is the first rescuer to do upon arriving at the scene? - check for safety. lone rescuer compression-ventilation ratio of _________ to ___________. - 30 compressions to 2 ventilations explain hand placement for chest compressions - the heel of on hand should be placed on the center of the chest on the lower half of the breastbone. when compressions are of the appropriate depth it creates___ ____ to the body. - blood flow _____ allows the heart to refill with blood and is necessary for chest compressions to create blood flow - chest recoil do not move the victim while CPR is in progress unless the victim is in a ________ ________. - dangerous environment the ____ ______ ventilation technique is not recommended for a lone rescuer during CPR - bag mask avoiding excessive ventilation also avoids _____ _____. - gastric inflation during 2 rescuer adult CPR, rescuers switch duties after __ cycles. (or 2 minutes) - 5 the second rescuer's' job is to _________ an open airway and to five _____. - maintain, breaths what is the first step when using an AED after the victim is secured? - turn it on. the AED will _____ shock, charges itself, prompts that everyone is clear and prompts rescuers to press ___ _____ ____. - advise, the shock button resucers immediately resume CPR with chest compression if ___ ___ _ ___ or after a shock is delivered. - no shock is needed compression-to-breaths ratio for 2-rescuer child CPR is __ compression to __ breaths. - 15:2 compression to breath ratio for lone rescuer child CPR is __ compressions to __ breaths. - 30:2 an infant;s central pulse (located at the brachial artery) you must palpate the ___ of the upper arm between the ___ and the ____. - inside, elbow, shoulder depth of compression for the infant is ___the depth of chest or ___ inches. or __cm. - 1/3, 1 1/2", or 4cm what compression technique should be used for 2 rescuer infant CPR? - 2 thumb compressions with hands encircling chest effective rescue breathing is assessed by - watching the chest rise use an AED with adult pads for a child and infant if __ ___ ___ or ___ ____are available - no child pads, pediatric atenuator when an advanced airway is in place the rescuers continue compressions at ___ per minute _____ pauses. breaths are given every ___ to ___ seconds or ___ to ___ breaths per minute. - 100,without. 6,8, 8,10 in order to five mouth to mouth breaths the rescuer should ___ airway, ___ mouth over victims mouth, ___ victims nose closed and delivers 2 breaths watching for the chest to ___. - open, seal , pinch,rise when victim has a pulse but is not breathing effectively, than give __ ___ with___ chest compressions. - two breaths, out adults require ___ breath every ___ to ___ seconds while infants and children require __ breath every __ to ___ seconds for rescue breathing. - 1,5,6,1,3,5 infants and children who do not have effective breathing and a pulse <60/min. show signs of poor perfusion. start ___ and ______ immediately. - compression, ventillation if a choking victim becomes unresponsive______ the ____ _____ _____ and begin with ____ ____ do ___ check for a ____. - activate,emergency response system, chest compressions,NOT, pulse adults/children/infants who exhibit no signs of effective breathing and no pulse need ___ immediately. - CPR choking infants give ___ ____ slaps, and ___ chest ____. - 5 back,5 thrusts. after AED shocks, _____ begin ____ ________. - immediately, chest compressions they're unresponsive, with no neck injury, you want to open air way by ____ head with ___ ____ method - tilting, chin lift explain the ADULT chain of survival - recognition: of cardiac arrest activation: of emergency response system CPR: cardiopulmonary resuscitation w/emphasis on chest compressions defribrillation: rapid advanced life support: ambulance etc. post-cardiac arrest care explain the pediatric chain of survival - prevention: of arrest bystander CPR: early high quality bystander CPR activation: rapid activation of the EMS advanced life support: abulance etc. post-cardiac arrest care 6 steps of critical concepts - start compressions within 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest. push hard and fast: compress at rate of 100/min. depth of at least 2" (5cm) for child/adult 1 1/2 (4cm) for infants allow complete chest recoil limit compression interruptions to less than 10 seconds explain sequence - chest compression airway breathing C-A-B explain the continued de-emphasis of the pulse check - if the victim is unresponsive, not breathing, or only gasping, healthcare providers may take up to 10 seconds to attempt to feel for a pulse (brachial for infant, carotid or femoral for child) then if you don't find it start chest compressions AED for infants - not recommended. use manual defribulator. if one not available use AED pediatric dose attenuator, otherwise use AED without pediatric as last resort. C-A-B-D - Chest compressions airway breathing defibrillation 4 steps BLS - assess: palpate carotid activate: EMS, get AED check pulse 10 sec. rule: C-A-B sequence chest compression technique - put heel of one hand on the center of the victim's chest on the lower half of the breastbone deliver compressions at a rate of - 100/min. chest recoils allows for what function? - blood to flow into the heart and is necessary for chest compressions to create blood flow. these compressions recoils should be equal try to place victim onto a _____ surface if it is safe to move him - hard moving victim only when necessary like if they are - in a dangerous environment ( such as burning vehicle) if you can not perform CPR effectively in the position or location he is currently in mouth to mask breaths - lone rescuer is at the victims side to perform compressions and breath. tilt chin lift deliver breath for over 1 second until chest rises 30:2 x 5 cycles bag mask device - not recommended by lone rescuer.
