After immediately initiating the emergency response system, what is the next link in the Adult
In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival? Early high-quality CPR
A patient is in respiratory arrest but has a pulse. What is the appropriate action for the rescuer to
take?
Provide rescue breaths at a rate of 1 breath every 5 to 6 seconds.
When performing CPR on an adult, what is the correct compression depth?
At least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.
What is the first step in the chain of survival for adults experiencing cardiac arrest?
Recognize the emergency and call for emergency medical services.
How many compressions should be given per minute during high-quality CPR?
At a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
In a two-rescuer adult CPR scenario, what is the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio?
30:2 for both adult and child victims.
1
, When using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), what should you do immediately after
the pads are applied to the patient?
Ensure that no one is touching the patient and press the "analyze" button.
What is the correct sequence for performing CPR?
Compressions, airway, breathing (CAB).
What action should a rescuer take if they are unsure whether a patient is breathing normally?
Start CPR, as abnormal or irregular breathing is an indicator to begin compressions.
If a patient is in cardiac arrest, how long should you continue CPR before reassessing the
patient's condition?
Continue CPR until professional help arrives or an AED is available.
What should be done if an adult victim is found unresponsive and breathing normally?
Place the victim in the recovery position and monitor their condition.
In which situation is it appropriate to stop CPR?
