Lifeguard Training- Basic Life Support
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - ANS-immediate treatment for a suspected cardiac arrest. CPR
can restore limited oxygen to the brain and other vital organs through a combination of chest
compression and rescue breaths.
Most effective way to end fibrillation is _____________ - ANS-defibrillation
chain of survival for cardiac arrests outside of a hospital - ANS-1. Early recognition of cardiac
arrest and prompt activation of the emergency response protocol for the setting
2. Immediate CPR with high-quality chest compressions
3. Rapid defibrillation, or electrical shock, to the heart
4. Effective basic and advanced EMS care and transport
5. Effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital
The chain of survival inside a hospital - ANS-1. Monitoring, prevention, and treatment of
prearrest conditions
2. Early recognition of cardiac arrest and prompt activation of the emergency response protocol
for the setting
3. Immediate CPR with high-quality chest compressions
4. Rapid defibrillation, or electrical shock, to the heart
5. Effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital
Secondary cardiac arrest - ANS-cardiac arrest as a result of a blocked airway or loss of
breathing
Causes of secondary cardiac arrest - ANS-confined space
drowning
drug overdoses
If the heart is simply too weak to create obvious signs of live, immediate ________, with an
emphasis on __________ ___________ _________, may be the only change to restore them. -
ANS-CPR; effective rescue breaths
Chain of survival for children and infants - ANS-1. Prevention of airway and breathing
emergencies
2. Early CPR, with an emphasis on effective rescue breaths, and, if needed, defibrillation with an
AED
3. Prompt activation of the emergency response protocol for the setting
4. Effective basic and advanced EMS care and transport
5. Effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital
, Naloxone or Narcan - ANS-a medication that can temporarily reverse the life-threatening effects
of opioids
The 2 key elements of high-performance CPR - ANS-1. High-quality CPR skills
2. A more efficient team approach to resuscitation
Begin CPR compressions within in ______ ________ of determining cardiac arrest - ANS-10
seconds
Compressing fast, at a rate of _________ to _________ times per minute - ANS-100; 120
Compressing hard, at least ____ ________ on an adult and at least ________ the depth of the
chest for children and infants - ANS-2 inches; 1/3
Allowing for complete chest _______ at the top of each compression - ANS-recoil
Minimizing any _________ to compressions - ANS-interruptions
Giving effective rescue breaths that create a __________ ____________ _________ -
ANS-visible chest rise
Avoiding _________ _____ on rescue breaths - ANS-excessive air
An effective team approach - ANS-1. has clearly defined roles
2. uses clear and effective communication
3. allows multiple treatment actions to occur at the same time
4. maintains high-quality CPR by allowing team members to switch places when tired
5. Minimizes overall interruptions
Always ______ for a moment before approaching - ANS-pause
Look for __________ _________ - ANS-obvious hazards
Consider the possibility of __________ dangers - ANS-hidden
If the scene is not safe: - ANS-do not enter it until hazards have been minimized or eliminated
The most common infectious bloodborne diseases and pathogens include - ANS-hepatitis B,
hepatitis C, and HIV
BLS providers, and the locations in which they work, vary. So
