You are providing high-quality CPR on a 6yo patient who weighs 44lbs. The AED
arrives. It does not have a pediatric setting and includes only adult AED pads.
What should you do?
Use the adult AED pads
Use adult pads but cut them to make them smaller
Use only one adult AED pad
Do not use the AED until child pads are available - Use the adult AED pads
For infants and children aged 8 or younger, or weighing less than 55lbs (25kg), use
pediatric AED pads, if available. If pediatric AED pads aren't available - or if the
AED doesn't have a pediatric setting - it's safe to use adult AED pads or adult
levels of energy for these patients.
You are alone performing high-quality CPR when a second provider arrives to take
over compressions. When switching roles, you should minimize interruptions in
chest compressions to less than how many seconds?
5 seconds
10 seconds
15 seconds
, 20 seconds - 10 seconds
To provide high-quality chest compressions, you must use correct hand
placement and body position, compress at a proper depth and rate, allow full
chest recoil and minimize interruptions to less than 10 seconds.
After immediately initiating the emergency response system, what is the next link
in the Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival?
Integrating post-cardiac arrest care
Early defibrillation
Early high-quality CPR
Injury prevention and safety - Early high-quality CPR
This is the Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival:
Surveillance and prevention
Recognition of a cardiac emergency and activation of the mergency response
system
Early high-quality CPR
Early defibrillation
Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
Recovery
As the third link of the Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival, early CPR keeps
oxygen-rich blood flowing and helps delay brain damage and death. It should be
initiated immediately, starting with compressions, once cardiac arrest is
recognized.
