◉What is the correct order of steps in the In-Hospital Chain of
Survival for adults?
-High Quality CPR
-Early Recognition and prevention
-Post Cardiac Arrest Care
-Defibrillation
-Activation of Emergency Response
-Recovery. Answer: 1. Early Recognition and prevention
2.Activation of Emergency Response
3.High Quality CPR
4.Defibrillation
5.Post Cardiac Arrest Care
6.Recovery
,◉What are the correct actions to take for Scene Safety and
Assessment. Answer: -Look for no breathing and only gasping and
check pulse (scan victims chest for rise and fall for no more than 10
sec) (Check carotid pulse)
-Verify Scene Safety
-Check for Responsiveness (Tap shoulders, Shout 'Are you OK?")
- Activate the Emergency Response System and get an AED (Activate
ERS via mobile device) (Get the AED or send someone to do)
◉To minimize delay in starting CPR you may...... Answer: Assess
breathing and pulse at the same time. (no more than 10 sec)
◉What do we know about gasping?. Answer: Gasping is not normal
breathing and is a sign of cardiac arrest.
◉Pulse check on an adult. Answer: 1. Locate the Trachea (on the
side closest to you), using 2 or 3 fingers
2. Slide those fingers into the grove between the trachea and the
muscles at the side of the neck, where you can feel the carotid pulse
, 3. Feel for a pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds (No
pulse, begin CPR starting with chest compressions)
◉What is the correct chest compression rate for adults ?. Answer:
100 to 120/min
◉What can Feedback devices monitor?. Answer: - Compression
Depth
- Compression Rate
- Chest Recoil
Feedback devices can monitor CPR and provide real-time feedback
◉How do you open the airway for breaths if SINGLE RESCUER is
present?. Answer: Head tilt - Chin lift
Step 1
One hand on the victims forehead, push with palm to tilt head back.
Step 2
