BLS - CPR Certification
CPR stands for - Answer - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Age definition - Adult - Answer - adolescents (after the onset of puberty) and older
Age definition - Children - Answer - 1 year o age to puberty
Age definition - Infant - Answer - less than 1 year of age (excluding newborns)
Components of CPR - Answer - chest compressions and breaths
Start compressiong within - Answer - 10 seconds of cardiac arrest recognition
Compress at a rate of - Answer - 100 to 120/min
Compression depth for adults - Answer - 2in (5cm)
Compression depth for children - Answer - 1/3 the depth of the chest, about 2in
(5cm)
Compression depth for infants - Answer - 1/3 the depth of the chest, about 1 1/2in
(4cm)
After each chest compressions allow - Answer - complete chest recoil
, Minimize interruptions to - Answer - less than 10 seconds
Give affective breaths - Answer - that make the chest rise
Avoid excessive - Answer - ventilation
Compression depth in adults that may cause injuries - Answer - greater than 2.4in
(6cm)
Optimal target compression depth - Answer - 2 to 2.4 in (5 to 6 cm)
2 Distinct Adult Chains of Survival - Answer - in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA)
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
Most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen unexpectedly and result from - Answer -
underlying cardiac problems
Links in the Chain of Survival for an adult who has cardiac arrest outside the hospital:
- Answer - - Recognition and Activation (immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and
activation of the emergency response system)
- CPR (early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions)
- Defibrillation (rapid Defibrilation with an AED)
- Advanced Life Support (effective advanced life support including rapid stabilization
and transport to post-cardiac arrest care)
- Post-Cardiac Arrest Care (multidisciplinary)
In children cardiac arrrest is often secondary to - Answer - respiratory failure or shock
