-Post Cardiac Arrest Care
-Defibrilla$on
-Ac$va$on of Emergency Response

2.Ac$va$on of Emergency Response
3.High Quality CPR
4.Defibrilla$on
5.Post Cardiac Arrest Care
,6.Recovery
What are the correct ac$ons to take for Scene Safety and Assessment - CORRECT ANSWERS -
Look for no breathing and only gasping and check pulse (scan vic$ms chest for rise and fall for
no more than 10 sec) (Check caro$d pulse)
-Verify Scene Safety
-Check for Responsiveness (Tap shoulders, Shout 'Are you OK?")
- Ac$vate the Emergency Response System and get an AED (Ac$vate ERS via mobile device) (Get
the AED or send someone to do)
To minimize delay in star$ng CPR you may..... - CORRECT ANSWERS Assess breathing and pulse
at the same $me. (no more than 10 sec)
What do we know about gasping? - CORRECT ANSWERS Gasping is not normal breathing and
is a sign of cardiac arrest.
Pulse check on an adult - CORRECT ANSWERS 1. Locate the Trachea (on the side closest to
you), using 2 or 3 fingers
2. Slide those fingers into the grove between the trachea and the muscles at the side of the
neck, where you can feel the caro$d pulse
3. Feel for a pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds (No pulse, begin CPR star$ng with
chest compressions)
, What is the correct chest compression rate for adults ? - CORRECT ANSWERS 100 to 120/min
What can Feedback devices monitor? - CORRECT ANSWERS - Compression Depth
- Compression Rate
- Chest Recoil
Feedback devices can monitor CPR and provide real-$me feedback
How do you open the airway for breaths if SINGLE RESCUER is present? - CORRECT ANSWERS
Head $lt - Chin li@
Step 1
One hand on the vic$ms forehead, push with palm to $lt head back.
Step 2
Place fingers of the other hand under the bony part of the lower jaw, near the chin.
Step 3
Li@ the jaw to bring the chin forward.
When using a pocket mask, where should the rescuer be posi$oned? - CORRECT ANSWERS At
the side of the vic$m
Bag Mask Device - CORRECT ANSWERS -Provides posi$ve-pressure ven$la$on
