What is the most common cause of unintentional injury and death in childhood?
- (ANSWER)Motor vehicular accidents
What is the goal of initial resuscitation in pediatric emergencies? -
(ANSWER)Achieve adequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation
What does hemoglobin-oxygen saturation depend on? - (ANSWER)Air movement,
alveolar gas exchange, pulmonary blood flow
How to conduct rescue breathing? - (ANSWER)1 breath e very 3-5 seconds (12-20
breaths/min)
How long should you check for a pulse and breathing? - (ANSWER)No more than
10 seconds.
If the victim has a pulse but is not breathing normally, what is the next step? -
(ANSWER)Start rescue breathing (1 breath every 3-5 seconds, or 12-20 breaths

, 2
When should chest compressions be added during rescue breathing? -
(ANSWER)If the pulse is <60 bpm with signs of poor perfusion despite adequate
breathing.
If there is no pulse and only gasping or no breathing, what should you do? -
(ANSWER)Begin CPR cycles immediately (30 compressions to 2 breaths).
What should you do if a sudden collapse was witnessed? - (ANSWER)Get an AED
and use it as soon as possible.
What is the compression-to-breath ratio for a single rescuer? - (ANSWER)30
compressions to 2 breaths.
If a second rescuer arrives, what compression-to-breath ratio should be used? -
(ANSWER)15 compressions to 2 breaths
What do you do once the AED arrives? - (ANSWER)Perform a rhythm check to
determine if the rhythm is shockable or non-shockable.
What is the action if a shockable rhythm is found? - (ANSWER)Deliver a single
shock immediately, then resume CPR for 2 minutes.
