Heart and Stroke BLS Review Practice Test.

Heart and Stroke BLS Review Practice Test. 1. high-quality CPR start compressions within 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest 2. compression rate 100-120/min 3. depth of compression for adults 4. depth of compression for chil- dren 5. depth of compression for in- fants At least 2 inches one-third the death of the chest about 2 inchs or 5 cm one-third the depth of the chest about 1 and 1/2 inch or 4 cm 6. IHCA In hospital cardiac arrest 7. OHCA Out of hospital cardiac arrest 8. chain of survival OHCA call 911, CPR, AED, EMS, ED, Cath lab, ICU 9. cardiac arrest is based on unresponsiveness, no breathing or no normal breathing or only gasping and no pulse 10. cardiac arrest in children usu- ally which order 11. sudden cardiac arrest defini- tion cardiac arrest is often secondary to respiratory failure and shock occurs when the heart develops abnormal rhythm and cannot pump blood 12. a heart attack definition occurs when the blood flow two part of the heart muscle is blocked 13. heart attack symptoms severe discomfort in the chest or areas of the upper body, shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea / vomiting and women and men can experience pain in the jaw arms and back or neck, lightheadedness, nausea vomiting 14.
