A roofer was electrocuted when his aluminum ladder contacted an energized power
line. The scene has been made safe. An AED has been attached to the patient. The

Adults need how many rescue breaths? - ANS-10-12
After delivering a shock with an AED, you should: - ANS-Immediately resume CPR and
follow any instructions given by the AED.
Air blown into the stomach while giving rescue breaths: - ANS-Can limit lung movement,
cause vomiting, and reduce the effectiveness of rescue breathing.
Children/infants need how many rescue breaths? - ANS-12-20
CPR is being performed on a child who was removed from a swimming pool. An AED
arrives and is positioned near the child's head. The next step is to: - ANS-Wipe his

During CPR, you are opening the airway of a person who you suspect has had

requires __________. - ANS-Ventricular fibrillation, defibrillation.
Sudden cardiac arrest in an adult is MOST LIKELY caused by - ANS-Ventricular
fibrillation
