4. advanced life support
5. integrated post-cardiac arrest care
cardiac chain of survival (kids)
, 1. prevention
2. early CPR
3. early emergency care
4. pediatric advanced life support
5. integrated post-cardiac arrest care
CPR
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, skill that is used when a person is in cardiac arrest to keep oxygenated
blood moving into the brain and other vital organs until advanced medical help arrives
compression-only CPR
if you are unable to give full CPR, you give continuous chest compressions, with no rescue breaths
CPR process
30 chest compressions followed by 2 sets of rescue breaths
