✔✔infants and children who do not have effective breathing and a pulse <60/min. show
signs of poor perfusion. start ___ and ______ immediately. - ✔✔compression,
ventillation
✔✔if a choking victim becomes unresponsive______ the ____ _____ _____ and begin
with ____ ____ do ___ check for a ____. - ✔✔activate,emergency response system,
chest compressions,NOT, pulse
✔✔adults/children/infants who exhibit no signs of effective breathing and no pulse need
___ immediately. - ✔✔CPR
✔✔choking infants give ___ ____ slaps, and ___ chest ____. - ✔✔5 back,5 thrusts.
✔✔after AED shocks, _____ begin ____ ________. - ✔✔immediately, chest
compressions
✔✔they're unresponsive, with no neck injury, you want to open air way by ____ head
with ___ ____ method - ✔✔tilting, chin lift
, ✔✔explain the ADULT chain of survival - ✔✔recognition: of cardiac arrest
activation: of emergency response system
CPR: cardiopulmonary resuscitation w/emphasis on chest compressions
defribrillation: rapid
advanced life support: ambulance etc.
post-cardiac arrest care
✔✔explain the pediatric chain of survival - ✔✔prevention: of arrest
bystander CPR: early high quality bystander CPR
activation: rapid activation of the EMS
advanced life support: abulance etc.
post-cardiac arrest care
✔✔6 steps of critical concepts - ✔✔start compressions within 10 seconds of recognition
of cardiac arrest.
push hard and fast: compress at rate of 100/min.
depth of at least 2" (5cm) for child/adult 1 1/2 (4cm) for infants
allow complete chest recoil
limit compression interruptions to less than 10 seconds
✔✔explain sequence - ✔✔chest compression
airway
breathing
C-A-B
✔✔explain the continued de-emphasis of the pulse check - ✔✔if the victim is
unresponsive, not breathing, or only gasping, healthcare providers may take up to 10
seconds to attempt to feel for a pulse (brachial for infant, carotid or femoral for child)
then if you don't find it start chest compressions
✔✔AED for infants - ✔✔not recommended. use manual defribulator. if one not available
use AED pediatric dose attenuator, otherwise use AED without pediatric as last resort.
✔✔C-A-B-D - ✔✔Chest compressions
airway
breathing
defibrillation
✔✔4 steps BLS - ✔✔assess: palpate carotid
activate: EMS, get AED
check pulse
10 sec. rule: C-A-B sequence
