BLS 2023
1. Compression Airway Breathing
This is the new order recommended by AHA: In terms of BLS, does CAB stand
for?
2. CAB = Compression Airway Breathing
Are you OK?
You get AED, you call 911
5 sec check (no more than 10) for pulse and breathing: Steps BLS for adult
rescue
3. No. Agonal breaths appear as gasps and drawing in air quickly; mouth open
with head and neck moving with the gasps. May appear forceful or weak. May
also sound like a snort, snore, or groan: Is agonal breath considered breathing?
4. Both are placing hands (palms) at
Middle of the nipple line or lower half of the breast bone: Where should you
place your hands for Adult CPR and Child CPR ?
5. 100-120 compressions per minute (staying alive song) for both adult and
child and infants. Infants= below 1 year (excluding newborns in delivery room)
Child = 1 yo to onset of puberty (males = underarm or chest hair; females=
breast development); Adults = adolescent and above: What is the classification
for child in CPR?
What is the proper compression rate in Adult CPR and Child CPR and infant?
6. There are some differences for compression depth for Adult and Child and
Infant:
For infants: 1/3 depth of chest, no more than 1.5 inches (4 cm)
For a Child that would be about 1/3 depth of the chest, no more than 2 inches
(5 cm)
For adults:
2 inches but no more than 2.4 inches (5-6cm): What is the proper compression
depth for Adult CPR and Child CPR and infant?
7. birth to 1 year (except for infants in delivery room)
Use 2 fingers (instead of the palms)!
Placement area is the same (between the nipples and lower area of breast
bone)
Compression depth is 1.5 inches (No more!) or 1/3 chest depth: For purposes
of CPR, what is the classification for infant?
Is the hand placement and compression depth different for infant?

8. Full chest recoil in CPR allows for the heart to fill up fully with blood: What
is full chest recoil in CPR?
9. Continuous chest compressions should be the goal
Minimize interruptions and limit it to no more than 10 secs
With 2 people providing chest compressions, each rotating every 2 minutes
would be ideal: What does it mean for compressions to be continuous?
How do 2 people do chest compressions?
10. For maintaining an open airway:
Head tilt and chin lift
IF there is suspected neck injury, you do NOT tilt head, you do a jaw thrust: -
CAB = Compression -Airway - Breath
How would you position patient to ensure an open airway?
11. Compression to ventilation ratio is the number of compressions to breaths
given to the patient
For Adult, compression to ventilation ratio is 30:2
For Child and Infant with 1 rescuer, compression to ventilation ratio is 30:2
BUT...
For infants and children with 2 rescuers, compression to ventilation ratio is
15:2: What is the compression to ventilation ratio?
12. When using and advanced airway, Do NOT stop compressions. As you
continue your compressions, you ventilate every 6 seconds (that's total of 10
ventilations per minute)
Also Check for rise and fall of the chest: How often do you ventilate when an
advanced airway when doing CPR?
13. Turn on the AED, follow it's instructions.
AFTER making sure that everyone of cleared of the AED can you activate it
according to its directions.
The AED will determine if the patient needs defibrillation.: When you receive the
AED, use it immediately.
How do you properly use and AED?
14. Continue chest compression as the AED is being delivered to you.
Use it immediately
Then if the AED states that CPR needs to continue,
during the 30:2 compressions to breath, you use the AED during the "breath
cycle": How is the AED integrated into CPR?
15. Yes, a person previously submerged in water, you wipe the water from the
chest and place AED pads as usual.
