(E Clamp : thumb and index finger make a C, pressing edges of the mask to the face while
remaining fingers lift the angles of the jaw opening the airway)
3. Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for chest rise
If there are two rescuers, 1. positioned directly above the victim opening airway and positioning
bag-mask device. 2. Positioned at the side of the victim squeezing the bag
Why is an AED Needed? (Automated external defibrillator) - CORRECT ANSWER-To analyze the
heart rhythm and provide a shock
in order to restore normal heart rate and rhythm
There are Two life threatening arrhythmias that can cause cardiac arrest pVT and VF (pulseless
ventricullar tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation)
What is pVT? - CORRECT ANSWER-Pulseless ventricular tachycardia
,What is VF? - CORRECT ANSWER-Ventricular fibrillation
What are two life threatening arrhythmias? - CORRECT ANSWER-Pulseless ventricular
tachycardia (pVT) and Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? - CORRECT ANSWER-Resume
CPR, Starting with chest compressions
Steps to Using an AED - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Power on the AED & follow Prompts
2. Choose adult pads for victims 8 years of age and older
3. Attach the adhesive AED Pads to the victims bare chest
4. When the AED prompts you, clear the victim during analysis, be sure that no one is touching

- Check the pulse every 2 minutes
- if no pulse, start CPR
- if possible opioid overdose, administer naloxone if available per protocol
No normal breathing or only gasping, pulse not felt - CORRECT ANSWER-- Start CPR.
- Perform Cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths
-Use AED as soon as it is available
Shockable rhythm - (give 1 shock and resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes/until AED allow
for rhythm check)
Nonshockable rhythm - (resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes/until AED allow for rhythm
check)
Continue CPR until ALS providers take over or the victim starts to move
