Infants - -Less than 1 year of age Pediatric Chain of Survival - -1. Prevention
of arrest
2. Early high-quality bystander CPR
Start compressions within _______seconds of 3. Rapid activation of emergency response
system
recognition of cardiac arrest? - -10
4. Effective advanced life support
5. Post-cardiac arrest care
Compress at a rate of _________/min - -
100-120
Sudden Cardiac Arrest - -Occurs when the
heart develops an abnormal rhythm so the heart
can't pump blood
Adult depth of compressions - -2 inches
Heart Attack - -Occurs when blood flow to
Children depth of compressions - -2 inches part of the heart muscle is blocked
Infants depth of compressions - -1.5 Adult 1-Rescuer BLS Sequence - -1. Verify
inches Scene safety, check for responsiveness, get help
2. Assess for breathing and pulse
3. Locate the carotid pulse
Optimal to have compression depth from ___- 4. Determine Next Actions
____ inches - -2-2.4 5. Begin high-quality CPR, starting with
compressions
6. Attempt defibrillation with the AED
Adult Chain of Survival IHCA - -1. 7. Resume high-quality CPR
Surveillance, prevention, and treatment of
prearrest conditions
2. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and Assess for Breathing - -- To minimize
activation of the emergency response system delay, check for breathing while checking pulse
3. Early CPR with an emphasis on chest - If no pulse or breathing for 10 seconds, start
compressions CPR
4. Rapid Defibrillation
5. Post-cardiac arrest care
Determine Next Actions - -- Breathing
normally and has a pulse: monitor victim
Adult Chain of Survival OHCA - -1. - No breathing but pulse: provide rescue
Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and breathing
1/3
